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

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.

If ya'll end up together, it will be a great story for your sons to use as an excuse on their first dates. ;)

Sorry you deserve it. Cheap dates can always be stopped with an "Excuse me!"
