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.

Couldnt have used a credit card this one time to save yourself the embarrassment? Are you 16? In that case, no shame in being broke.

You could have told her the truth and see if she would offer to pay for the movies. Women should not expect men to pay for everything on a date.

If you've been dating for a year, she should understand that funds are right and you can't afford everything. shouldn't need to lie about it.

Its more FHL. She lost out on what should have been a really romantic date.

because she didn't get to go to the movies? the obviously expensive flashy restaurant with her boyfriend, who paid for her, wasn't a romantic enough night in your opinion?

I sympathise OP. I personally am not comfortable with someone else paying for me, so i would have insisted on paying for myself or one pay for the meal one for the movie, but it is a horrible feeling to want to treat someone and it be more expensive than you expected. How about next time, rent a dvd or stick something on netflix, cook a nice dinner or order take out and have date night at home? It's much more romantic and personal, and will save you a bit of money too.

Next time, try hitting up a Redbox Booth afterwards, my boyfriend and I have had so many good movie nights for only $1.50 because of it. (and I'm sure your girlfriend of 1 year still had a great time, you've been together for this long so she must be decent a person.)
