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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

my advice from one person who has done this to another. id say skip the girl. find your friends and go with them. save your money and your night. you might be dateless but at least youll get to be happy about your night instead of spending it with someone who doesnt even want to be friends with you.

She doesn't even want to be friends? Wow, that's pretty definite. Put my vote down for "don't take her."

simply do not buy her a ticket. ask some one else or go alone

I agree with the others. Don't pay for her disrepectful butt. Find a friend who will go with you or go by yourself, but don't shell out your hard earned money for someone who just wants to use you.

You should be thankful she was upfront about this early on (or that she slipped up and said what she was really planning). Most guys that hang around this type of girl end up friend-zoned for years; paying for dates, movies, meals, drinks, cover charges, etc, only to get strung on and on and on, all the while laughed at behind their backs to all her other girlfriends. There is some good advice in this FML for how to deal with it, but try not to be petty/small and only think of how to hurt/put her in her place. Be honest with her and just cancel the date, even if you have paid in advance for the tickets.

By "this type of girl" do you mean the type of girl who doesn't fall for every man she agrees to go on a date with? 'cause that's all of us. Shockingly, women have opinions on who we want to be in a relationship with, it's part of being a person. Hypothetically, if there was a girl who would fall for any guy she went on a date with, she should take a break from men until she's not that kind of girl anymore because that's unhealthy and dangerous. And it's ridiculous how dudebros like you think that women's capacity to be friends with a man is a flaw when really your inability to be friends with a woman is the flaw. Friendship is a good thing. And honestly, if you're a straight guy and you can't be friends with a woman, you don't love women, you just want to use us. I'm pretty sure your woman who leads on a male friend for years just to get free meals is a myth. Speaking as a woman, it's really uncomfortable when a man is interested in you and you aren't interested in him- we've all heard the stories of women getting various kinds of extreme backlash for rejecting a guy. No one wants to go on dates with people they don't like. Also, wouldn't the dude eventually move on like a rational adult? Like, the closest I can see to that happening is if the man hasn't made his intentions clear and the women genuinely thinks they're friends doing friend things. I don't see why the woman should get hate for that situation when it's the man's fault for not communicating his feelings effectively.

Do not pick her up and text her after dinner and say thanks for the great evening.

Find someone else to go with, I wouldn't spend any money on someone like her!

if I were you I'd ask someone else or go by yourself. You don't owe her the courtesy of a free ticket if she doesn't even want to go as a friend.

Actually you don't have to do either of those things.
