Today, I surprised my girlfriend of 3 years with Stone Sour and Korn tickets, since I knew how badly she wanted to go. She responded by asking if we could go as just friends. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML
Today, I gave my ex-girlfriend two concert tickets to show her I still care about her and want to win her back. She sold them. FML
Today, I surprised my girlfriend with roses. She surprised me by getting back together with her ex. FML
Today, I was planning on going on a date with a girl I've really liked. She told me today was the only we could hang out before her trip. I got an expensive hair cut, planned on cooking her dinner, and pulled a few strings and got on the list for a big concert. Turns out she'd rather go shopping FML
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML
Today, I spent hundreds of pounds buying my best friend concert tickets to see our favourite band, complete with a meet and greet. I drove over very excited to pick her up to take her. She had already left. With her boyfriend. FML
Today, I drove 4 hours to see my girlfriend of a year, as she had asked me to stay with her for a few days. When I arrived she told me she wanted to be friends as she liked someone else, but wanted me to stay the few days so we could work on being friends. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 years confessed that at first, she'd only dated me to get her friend jealous, and that even now, she "only kind of liked" me. I bought a ring only a few days ago, and was planning on proposing to her. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said she wanted to stay just friends. Not only did I get denied, apparently we're also "just friends." FML

Take back those tickets and take someone who is interested in you.

Sorry to hear that, majorly sucks. Still, probably for the best - I mean, jeez, I think I'd fall over backwards if someone offered me tickets like that! Sounds like she's missing out on a good thing, man - don't worry, you'll find someone who truly deserves you, I'm sure of it :3

So you would stay in a relationship for some months only for some tickets?

'course not, wasn't saying that in the first place (though, I can see why you thought that - was just kind of angrily typing at the time, heh). No, typically if I'm unhappy in a relationship, I come out with it as soon as possible - I can never understand why people wait for opportunities such as these....I mean, I would say that she was just trying to take advantage of the fact that they were in a relationship to get the tickets, which is kind of gross in my book. So no, I wouldn't stick around just for that. I was just assuming that he was a pretty nice guy, since we all know tickets like that would cost an utter bomb - and for her to turn around and have the gall to ask to 'go as friends', well....yeah. Heh, sorry, I'll stop my rant now. >.>

I can see why she used this occasion as an opener for breaking up with him. I mean the tickets cost lots of money and normally you buy them a lot of time in advance, so because of this she might feel pressured to make or state her decision of breaking up. She clearly doesn't want to take advantage of him and stay together until the concert, which might be a long time anyways, and then break up with him directly after or even have to stay with him longer to be more sensitive. So I think she was doing the exact opposite of using the relationship for the tickets, especially as it was a surprise. I think it was the tap she needed to make her decision.

True. Still, it was wrong to ask to 'go as friends' - I feel as if that was taking advantage. As if she was trying to have the best of both worlds, you know?

Answer her question with a question: “Friends with benefits?”

"I'm sorry, but I bought these for my girlfriend."

Uh-oh. She probably was thinking about breaking up with you.

I would've said "oh, sure! If you buy your ticket off of me and have someone else take you."

It is kind of a Korny gift.

I hope you didn’t give her the tickets. You should go with a friend of yours and enjoy yourself or sell them.
