Today, I went to dinner with an amazing guy. At the end he said he had to go to the washroom. 15 min later he was still MIA, so I figured he'd ditched me with the bill. I paid and left. 10 min later he texted me, asking where I was. Turns out he hadn't ditched me. He was having "stomach issues." FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy. I lost interest in him quick, so I excused myself to go to the bathroom, hoping to make a run for the hills. As soon as I reached the front door, our server yells out, "I hope you’re not thinking about dining and dashing!" 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 was on a date with a guy I've been crushing on. In the middle of the dinner, he said he had to go get something from his car. When I asked what it was, he smiled and said it was a surprise. I waited for my surprise for half an hour. Then I decided to pay the bill and go home and cry. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. After dessert, he went to the bathroom so I quickly called the waiter over and paid the bill, thinking it was a nice gesture. When he returned, he broke up with me for "emasculating" him. FML

Perhaps you should have atleast tried calling or texting him before you left?

15 minutes is a long time. He should have texted earlier...

I can't tell if your date was a liar covering his tracks or another poor victim of IBS.

He should've texted while in the bathroom explaining he'll be back out in 25 minutes. Though with that much wait I wouldn't blame OP to leave. It's implied he had money and OP had her own car or lived close by walking-wise (allowing her to leave) so he can handle his own way back to his place.

I would have asked a male server to please check on him for me.

I see this as just a mis communication on both parts he could have texted once he realized he was having stomach issues. but op could have texted to see if he was ok like "did you fall in". But op if he was such an awesome guy then I'm sure he will understand.

Even after 15 mins, you shouldn't make the assumption that he left. Hopefully everything works out with you two
