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 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.

Heh, it's sweet you tried to do something special for your anniversary. But as others have said... a year in, you shouldn't really need to lie about that. Maybe she could have bought you the movie tickets? It's a shared occasion, after all.

You shouldn't feel like you have to lie to her! Though I think she should have offered to pay for the movies after you spent all that money on her!

You should have made sure you had enough money before going out.

Aw that sucks OP. If she really loves you, she should have understood and chipped in for the movie. I'm a girl and I don't think that the guy should pay for everything.

It's the thought that counts? But if you have been dating for a year that she would be understanding towards the not enough money situation.

Why say a movie if u cant afford it? Take her for a walk in a park or something instead. Its usualy better as its more quality time together instead of a movie

Honestly, there are worse things. You at least we're caring enough to take her out, and I'm sure you tried your best. Just go out to a movie another time. I'm sure any girlfriend would understand.

Why are you paying for dates after a year together? You don't have to do that, especially if you don't have the money to comfortably afford it. Start choosing dates that you can both afford to pay for :-)

lots of reasons, partners birthday, a surprise for their anniversary, personally I'd be a bit annoyed if my partner took me out on a surprise date, then asked me to pay half, mainly because I wouldn't have had a chance to put money aside for it and might be broke from bills and other things already
