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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 took my girlfriend to a restaurant we both like. By the end of the date, we were fighting and she angrily broke up with me. To make things worse, I got food poisoning. She didn't. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. 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 treated my boyfriend to an expensive dinner using the last of my paycheck. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom a few minutes in. I came back to find my plate empty. His excuse was, "I didn't want the food to get cold." FML
Today, I went on a date. After we finished our meal, I had to use the bathroom really bad. When I said so, my date totally lost it and accused me of planning on climbing out a window and ditching her. "Fuck that and fuck you!" she said, then stormed out, leaving me with the bill. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML
Today, I went to the movies on a date. I went to pay for the tickets when I realized that I didn't have my wallet. Instead of my boyfriend paying, he laughed and paid for his own ticket. Then he went ahead and saw the movie without me. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to eat out at a restaurant. We chatted for an hour, and it all seemed to be going well, until she told me that she wanted to break up. Waiting for the bill and driving her home was the most painful time of my life. FML

#ThugLife We've all been in a similar situation, making up something so you don't have to say that you don't have cash. No hard feels...

I'm sure she appreciated dinner! I'm sorry you couldn't take her out to the movie though, next time set a budget for each event maybe.

If you're short on cash maybe you should ask her to split the bill next time, as gentlemanly as it is to pay for a girl this is the 21st century, and most girls worth being with don't mind contributing financially on a date.

You could've ask her pay for the movie.

This is why you plan ahead

Why did you take her to a fancy restaurant if you know that you don't have much money to spend? If she really loves she wouldn't care if it was a regular restaurant or a fancy.

Or he could take her to a still nice, but less expensive place...

Honestly OP, you could have just suggested going for a walk after dinner. Most girls like that (:

How rude can you be???

Rude? Did you read the FML or are you illiterate?

That's a shame, but I'm sure she wouldn't have minded if you'd suggested doing something that didn't cost money. I'd much rather go on a nice walk with my boyfriend or sit in and watch a movie with him than just have him go home without me. If she really cares about you taking her to expensive places, that's her problem

I would have just been honest with her. Does she ever pay for the dates? My husband and I always took turns paying when we were dating.

That's how my boyfriend and I are. I personally don't like splitting the date- why ask someone out and then have them pay? I find that somewhat rude honestly. if I suggested going to dinner, I will pay the whole check and vise versa. we take turns paying for our dates. or do what others are saying. one pays for dinner, and the other pay for the movie

I never complain when my BF can't pay, and when I want to do something he can't afford I always pay. But as far as money goes, he worked full time and went to school part time. I was the opposite, and finishing grad school (so it was expensive). It made sense for us that he paid more often than me, since I was barely able to afford to feed myself, let alone go on dates. Now we both work full time and are no longer in school, so we can split dates more evenly.

for a while, I was the only one in the relationship with a job, so I paid for our dates the majority of the time. now we both have jobs and so we split the dates. he paid for dinner last time we went out, I paid the time before that, etc.
