Love: Today, I asked the girl I'm madly in love with out to dinner....

Today, I asked the girl I'm madly in love with out to dinner. When she asked me if I would pay, I jokingly said, "Well, that depends on how the date goes." She looked me up and down and said, "No thanks then." FML

Today, I was out on a dinner date when suddenly a girl walks up to us and says to my date, "Girl, you can do so much better." Hearing this, my date looks at me, nods, gets up and walks off. I still had to pay for everything. FML

Today, I went on a date. I took her out to an expensive steak house. When she was done eating, she got up, said she was married, and told me she only accepted the date because I'd be paying for it. FML

Today, I had a date with a girl I've liked for a while. We went out to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner. I was obviously going to pay, but when the bill came I realized I'd forgotten my wallet. When I told her, she thought I was a cheap liar and now she won't answer my calls. FML

Today, I asked a girl I liked what she was doing tomorrow night. She replied, "Cleaning, so nothing really." I then asked her out to dinner. She declined. FML

Today, I took a girl out to dinner. Halfway through, she sighed and asked if it was all an episode of Disaster Date. FML

Today, I finally went on a date with a girl I've been talking to for 2 years. She is my dream girl, picture perfect and I love her with all my heart. So I asked her, half jokingly, if I was her dream guy. Her reply? "Don't ask me something you don't want to hear the answer of." FML

Today, I went on a date with a girl my friend set me up with. I thought we got along great, until after dessert, when I asked if she'd be interested in doing this again. She just said, "Nahhh" then got up and casually left, stiffing me on the bill. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out for lunch, and I asked her if I could have a bite of her meal. She took it to mean I was calling her fat, and stormed out. FML

At least the money you would have spent on the dinner can go towards a girl with a sense of humor !

Its all in the delivery, maybe you said it in a creepy manner and she thought you really were expecting something out of line for a first date. it is strange that she asked if you would pay for the date though, I don't think Ive ever asked a guy that.

probably because she didnt really wanted to go with him on a date. but if he pays its a free meal.

Am I the only one that is confused as to why the guy should always pay? Like, I think if it's a first date go halfies!

It has something to do with US Dating culture. in my country splitting the bill is common on a date. Everyone pays for what he consumes. Because dating isnt about eating stuff but to get to know the person.

Forget the dumb joke, it sounds as though OP was interested in her, but she obviously wasn't in OP. At least she was decent enough to admit that the only reason she'd accept the offer was for a free dinner out, rather than leading him on.

Guess she's probably used to hearing that joke way too many times, by way too many people. I've had a few guys ask me out, and make little jokes like that. Those guys usually just got progressively worse with each interaction.

Has nothing to do with being a gold digger. Too many dudes ask chicks out, and think of a date as a form of prostitution. Where if they pay for the food, the chick has to spread her legs. Even a lot of self proclaimed nice guys who will pay for the date regardless, will still take every opportunity to make a sexual innuendo, or sexual joke. All that does is lead to a really awkward experience. I always paid my own way if I went out with anyone. But what you did with yer joke, was set off a lot of red flags to chicks who have had to deal with that crap for probably the vast majority of their dating lives.
