Today, I was let down for a movie date. As I'd already paid for the tickets, I got my narcoleptic sister to come and sit next to me while she slept, so it didn't look like I came on my own. FML

Today, I went to the cinema with a girl I like. Knowing she has a bit of a soft spot for me, I was keen to sit in the back row. Too bad her sister tagged along, insisted that we sit somewhere else, and scolded me every time I so much looked at her. I ended up paying for the unwanted guest as well. FML
Today, my boyfriend was complaining about how we never see the movies he wants to see. So I took him to the movies, and he picked which one. Then he fell asleep. 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 went to see a movie with 4 friends. I didn't realize that I was the only one who didn't have a date. The theater row had just enough room for everyone but me, I got to sit in back of everyone else while they were making out in front of me for 2 hours. FML
Today, I was late to a sold out movie in the theater, so I had to shuffle in during the previews in the dark. I sat down in what I thought was the last vacant seat, but I'd really just sat in a small woman's lap. She was not happy. 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 went on a first date with a guy who insisted we watch a film at his place. I agreed, despite feeling wary of a potential trap. Halfway through the film, he fell asleep and started snoring. When he woke up, he blamed me for “keeping him up all night.” I was there for less than an hour. FML
Today, my friend had invited me to his home for a movie night with another friend. I had to decline because I have prior plans. He then revealed that they only wanted me there so I could bring DVDs, but "don't worry, we'll find something on Netflix to watch instead." FML
Today, I wanted to be alone for once, so I went out for dinner, planning to go to the cinema afterwards. My sister ambushed me at the restaurant because she’d heard I was stressed out and wanted to be alone, so she thought she should keep me company while I was alone to make me feel better. FML
Today, an old friend of mine refused to go to a movie with me. Turns out he was sitting in front of me with my girlfriend. FML

And who exactly were the people you were trying to impress so much that you didn't want to be seen alone?

Ugh that sucks. Being stood up for a date is one of the worst things in dating. Sorry OP.

Or like going on a first date with someone and they get an "emergency text" from their boss, asking them to come into work and they leave 30 minutes into the movie, never to be heard from ever again. Yeah, that happened to me. :/ now I can't watch the Expendables without thinking of that, damnit.

You're lucky that you even get asked out on dates!

OP is a guy who bought the tickets and presumably had asked out a girl, who bailed.

I would have gone, but I was busy posting a live video feed of someone else.

There's nothing wrong with coming on your own -- it won't make you go blind or grow hair on your palms!

I still don't understand how people are so insecure and self-centered that they A) feel weird about going to a movie alone, when you're not supposed to talk or socially interact while watching a movie anyway and then B ) actually think others in the audience give a crap about them being there alone. YDI.

So what exactly is wrong with going to the movies on your own? Not a thing. I do it all the time if nobody is available to come with.

What's wrong with a movie alone? I'd get it maybe if you just didn't want to be alone because you're feeling a bit down, but getting your sister just so other people, that you don't even know, didn't think you went alone is kind of lame. I love going to movies alone personally, I can hide from everyone for an hour or two. It's very relaxing.
