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

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, 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

Tonight, on First Dates…

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 is 27. 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

I hope there isn't going to be a second date.

Well that's bullshit, he could at least hve gotten you your own happy meal! Call me selfish, but I sure as hell would not want to share the oh so amazing toy that it comes with..

I am assuming that will also be the last date.

First dates are all about giving a good first impression, and that's one of the WORST first impressions that a man can give to a woman. Cheap bastards like him deserve to be Forever Alone. So do fast-food loving idiots who have no such thing as good taste. Dump him and go out with someone who actually understands what dating and relationships are supposed to be about.

I really don't like your comment, he deserves to be forever alone just because he didn't take her to some fancy place on a first date?! Yes he could of picked a better place, like a fair, coffee shop, or a walk in the park with ice-cream. Yes first dates are about good first impressions, but a guy shouldn't have to blow his entire paycheck just to 'impress' a girl, if he does then I'd say she isn't worth the effort and he should find some who is nice, and not all about price.

So basically you want a sugar daddy to spend on your high maintenance ass. He definitely weeded you out.

I sure hope you put out- buying half a happy meal still counts as paying for dinner. These are the rules of dating.

Well, I don't blame him though. I know lots of people say that is lame and all. But it's better to blow a huge load amount of money on a person for a date then find out that the person you just went on a date with is just a total dick. So get over it OP. So I am not giving you a YDI or FYL just this comment. So if was being an asshole all the way, then poor you OP at least you didn't have to pay a lot of money. If he was nice and charming afterwards then don't post this on FML.
