Today, I went out on a first date. He insisted we go to McDonald's and split a Happy Meal because he "didn't want to waste any money on a first date." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went out with a girl I like. After a movie, we went to McDonald's. There was this couple making out. The girl I was with remarked about how lame it would be to go to McDonald's on a date. I thought we were on a date. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy. As soon as we sat down at the restaurant, he immediately snatched my menu and said "You're having salad." FML
Today, a guy took me on a date to McDonald’s. I smiled, but told him politely that I don’t eat fast food. He called me a stuck-up snob and a high maintenance gold digger who didn’t deserve him. I’m neither. I have IBS and greasy food sets me off. I had to walk home. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date, destination unknown. I dressed up, he had a tux on. We went to McDonalds. FML
Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML
Today, a guy invited me to a first date at a new restaurant. I was going to pay my way, but when he saw how steep the bill was, he insisted that I pay for his meal too, to prove I'm a "real feminist". FML
Today, after being single for a while now, I unwillingly went on a blind date with a guy my friend convinced me would be perfect for me. He took me to McDonald's. His father was with him the whole entire time. He's 27. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who insisted on eating off my plate the whole night. He didn't order his own food, because according to him, "it’s more intimate to share." He didn’t get why I found the whole deal off-putting. FML
Today, I went on a date at a restaurant with a guy. When he promised I wouldn't have to pay the bill, I didn't think he meant we'd be dining and dashing. 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

If you split a happy meal does that make you half happy?

If he is cheap, he better be smart too. That happy meal money could've bought you guys: 1 value drink, 2 cheeseburgers, & 2 value fries... Drop him now OP unless he really made you "happy" like your name says.

I hope you told him he could have the entire meal, because you decided to not waste your time on a first date.

Wow, I hope that's a first and last date!

So what you nay saying girls are actually saying is that he has to spend a lot of money on you for you to be interested? Even though every guy knows that girls will often go on first dates with guys they have no interest in just for a free night out

There's a difference between a person that doesn't spend a lot in the first date, and a person that splits a friggen happy meal at McDonald's. if you're going to ask someone to go on a date, then putting effort in to making it a nice date shows that you actually have interest in the relationship. Hell, just having a coffee together at a quiet cafe would be a nicer date and cheap to boot.

I can understand that. Maybe said guy has been used several times, got tired of it, and wanted to see how much she was interested in him over what he can buy her. I've known many girls who were open about going out with guys just to feel better about themselves and get a free night out of it. Ladies, if you want a nice night out, maybe you should pay every once in a while to show you're not just using us

It's not about money. U can tell that he doesn't value her at all. Museums have free days, parks and docks are free, coffee house dates can be less than $10. He just didn't put any effort into the date and openly said he isn't interested by saying he doesn't kno if theres a second date. He already knows he doesn't want one otherwise he wouldn't want to mess up his chances up by saying that they share a happy meal.

If women don't put out on the first date why should we?

I'm a dude, and I'm thumbing this comment down out of principle.

But he has a point?... err, NO! Women are not ******! There's a minimum 3 date process before the girl can give up da pussy without being considered a ****.

So, if she put out... He should have bought a better meal???? And she is a ****? But if she didn't put out, she is a classy bitch and deserves better than 1/2 the child's meal Mc Ds? Which one is it? Double standards it sounds like to me!
