Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my date unexpectedly brought her friend to dinner with us. They seemed bored of me after ten minutes and left me out of their conversation for the rest of the night. Oh, and they made me pay for both of them. FML
Today, I went out to eat with some friends. They picked a table that wasn't big enough for all of us. I had to sit in the booth behind them. Alone. FML
Today, I went on my first date in over a year, and my best friend popped up at the restaurant uninvited. To make it worse, she pulled up a chair right in between us and started an argument with the bartender. FML
Today, it was supposed to be my birthday dinner with two of my friends. They're both now bringing their boyfriends, so I get to be the fifth wheel to my own birthday dinner. FML
Today, my girlfriend chose the most expensive restaurant in town, then spent the entire time facebooking, texting, and playing games on her phone while I dined in silence. This is the second time we've been out this week. She didn't even eat her food. I didn't even get a thank you. FML
Today, I invited a friend over for dinner and spent hours preparing a fancy meal. When I opened the door, he walked in with his new girlfriend, his mom, his sister, and his dog. I barely had enough food for one, let alone five. I ended up serving my fancy meal on paper plates. FML
Today, I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice dinner before prom. Her parents followed her in, and joined us to "keep an eye on me." They interrupted all our conversations, ate an expensive meal, then got up and walked out when the waitress brought the $95 check, leaving me to pay for it. FML
Today, my friends and I were going to Applebee's. A girl we don't like invited herself along. She waited for my friend outside of the bathroom, forced her to drive her, and said, "It's okay someone will pay for me." She then ate off of everyone's plate and left before the bill came. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out to eat at a diner where my friend works. My friend was our waiter but too busy to talk much. He texted me after we'd left to tell me that my girlfriend had slipped him her number. FML
Today, I went on what I thought was a solo outing with my longtime crush. He decided to invite a friend along. I had to pick her up half an hour away from town, he treated her to the movie we were watching while I had to pay for myself, he fingered her in the theatre, and made out with her on the drive home.

Why didn't you tell her you wanted it to be just her? Could have solved a lot of problems.

To me it sounds like your girlfriend is using you! Explain to her how you felt about what happened and see if you can go out again? (if she will apologize!)

should have just excused yourself and walked out after your meal.

What kind of restaurant can't seat 5 together?

McDonalds around here has maximum 4 seats to a table.

Maybe when asked how many there were, someone answered 4 because they forgot he was there. That would force him to sit at a different table.

you might want to review/renegotiate your relationship I think

"If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends Make it last forever, friendship never ends" ***Okay, so it's not what you planned. Maybe she didn't know about your romantic intent. What happened after dinner? Hanging out with some of her friends (for what-- an hour, maybe two?) could have gotten her in a great mood! Now take her back to your place and close out the night! Oh, and of course, clue her in so that shit doesn't happen next time!

Communication is the key! Tell your girlfriend how this felt, if she doesn't think it's a problem then find someone else who appreciates you. Take it from a guy who learned the hard way, relationships have to go both ways :)

There's no excuse for alienating you by having you move to another table. You need to talk to your girlfriend directly about this kind of behavior. She should have wanted you next to her. I would have been livid with her. There no consideration for you. FYL

Time to move on. She's just not that in to you

Does this happen often? I've never wanted to bring my friends along to dinner with my boyfriend, just because I enjoy spending time like that alone with him. Perhaps she just isn't that interested in you, OP :(

Quit whining OP. Your GF's just not that into you!! Face the cold reality that your love life is a bad meal at a separate table. Forever!
