Today, I texted the girl I'm going to homecoming with in a couple days to say hi. The conversation started OK, but then morphed into her saying that she doesn't feel anything between us, and wants to stop being friends after the dance. I have to buy her dinner and a ticket, out of my own wallet. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got a text from a girl that I've had a crush on for a long time, asking me out to dinner. I agreed and went to the restaurant. Not long afterwards, I got text from her saying something had come up, so she couldn't make it. As I was walking back to my car, I saw her walk into the same restaurant with another guy. FML
Today, I was texted out of the blue by a girl I treated to dinner last year. Since then, we'd chatted and met in passing a few times, but she'd turned down or cancelled all my other date invitations. Sadly, she wasn't trying to meet up. She wanted $500 to benefit a male friend, who was down on his luck. FML
Today, I went out with a girl, I paid for the drinks, and thought everything went well, even though I didn’t make a move, I guess I wanted to take it slow. I texted later to invite her to a private beach next week, only for her to reply that she’s not gonna be available for the next few weeks because her boyfriend is coming to visit. FML
Today, this girl I've been talking to texted me, saying she was going to visit. Trying to be sweet, I bought her $50 worth of chocolate and a cute card. Turns out she meant to send that text to her ex. Seems like the only thing I'll get from this relationship is diabetes. FML
Today, the girl I've had a crush on for a year finally said she'd go out with me. On the way over to pick her up, she called me and said she couldn't go because she was going out to dinner with her ex-boyfriend to talk things over. She asked if she could use the reservations I had made. FML
Today, I was on a date with a girl I've had feelings for since I was 14 (I'm 22). I took her out to dinner, then to a movie that we both liked and had a few drinks afterwards. I thought it was going really well until I was driving her home and she asked to be dropped off at her boyfriend's house. FML
Today, I asked a girl I like to homecoming. I brought her to my house beforehand for dinner with my family. My brother asked her whether we were just friends or dating, she shouted, "Just friends!" and then starts flirting with him with me in the room. FML
Today, after seeing a girl for a few weeks on and off I sent her a text to see if she wanted to go out the next saturday. Predictive text changed "go" to "in". So..."Why don't we in out on saturday?" She stopped calling me. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML
Today, I really liked this girl, and it seemed like she maybe liked me too. We texted a lot, she invited me to a party, and we played games together. I asked her out, worried about waiting too long, but got a really ambiguous answer. Now she’s playing the same games she used to ask me to play, just with a different guy. FML

Or tell her you aren't feeling this dance with her and don't pay for her.

You don't HAVE to do a damn thing, even if she wanted a relationship. You do nice things because you want to, not because you have to. Anyone who thinks different isn't worth it in the first place.

What school's homecoming is in January?

You do not have to do anything. The is no reason why you should take her at this point. Let her figure it out how she's getting in. Save your money.

Seriously don't pay for her. It's a waste of your precious time and money, you deserve a lot better than her

Or no you don't have to pay for her. I wouldn't want to go with a girl that said that to me. I would not go or go alone, it's better than being with somebody that cold. It will ruin your night

Get your money back and cancel on that bitch or better yet get your money back and "forget" to show ! What the hell does that even mean "I want to stop being friends with you after the dance" Unless she just found out that you are an axe murderer or something like that , don't bother being "friends " with her now. F the dance. You can take some one else or go alone or go another time with someone who appreciates your company. What a rude bitch!

Solution: DONT GO WITH HER YOU MORON.

Why is everyone assuming the girl did something wrong? There's nothing wrong with not having feelings for someone. Maybe she thought offering to still go with him was the nice thing to do because he wouldn't have to be alone- these are teenagers we're talking about, you can't expect perfect judgment from them. The OP is free to not go or go alone or take someone else- that's what he probably should do. Being rejected sucks, but the girl probably doesn't deserve this level of hate and blame.

So in your world "stop being friends after the dance" is considered OK? And expecting someone else to pay for it?

It could be that she felt sorry for him and accepted it and then awkwardly told him there is nothing between them in case she thought he thinks otherwise. But from his point of view it does seem rude.

We don't have the background of whether they were even friends before he asked her. Could be they hardly interacted when he asked her to the dance and, upon getting to know him further, she just isn't interested in him as a person. Maintaining a friendship requires energy (at least from an introvert perspective), and if you aren't interested in a person, it isn't worth the effort. Maybe she should have said they'd still be friends even if it isn't true just to be polite, but then again, there's merit in not leading him on and clearly stating boundaries. Also, we don't know if she's expecting him to pay or if he's just assuming he has to. If I was in her position I'd be assuming we'd each pay for our own dinner. I actually come from the same state as the OP, so I know that this is an assumption a Washingtonian girl might make. Assumptions about who pays for dates aren't consistent around here. Again, we don't know if there really was a stated agreement. I'm inclined to give the girl the benefit of the doubt because teenagers are inclined to exaggerate the drama of rejection and we don't have much information. Again, rejection sucks, I wouldn't say "ydi," but the girl doesn't deserve hate in the comment section just for rejecting someone.

"It could be that she felt sorry for him and accepted it and then awkwardly told him there is nothing between them in case she thought he thinks otherwise." If that were the case then she should cancel things before the event, not immediately after.
