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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 on what I thought was a solo outing with my longtime crush. He decided to invite a friend along. I had to pick her up half an hour away from town, he treated her to the movie we were watching while I had to pay for myself, he fingered her in the theatre, and made out with her on the drive home. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. FML
Today, this guy and I went on a date to the movies. We got up to the desk and I asked for one ticket for 'Jennifer's Body.' The guy moved his way in front of me and said, "make that two tickets." He then walked away to look at movie posters and left me with the $22.50 charge. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my boyfriend. We went inside the theatre and he saw a couple of his friends. Instead of saying hi and coming back to watch the movie with me, he ditched me for them. When I reminded him he was forgetting something, he grabbed the popcorn out of my hands and left. FML
Today, I went on a movie date with a guy. He brought his mom. 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 was watching a movie alone, after receiving a text from my boyfriend saying that his grandma was at the hospital, so he couldn't go with me. I caught him on a date with another girl, at the same movie screening that I went to. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML
Today, my date made me pay him for picking me up, and taking me back home. FML

Contrary to popular belief it's ignorant to be so confident in this "rule" that you don't bring your own money, I believe it was totally deserved in this case. This doesn't mean I don't believe the guy should pay though so don't get confused.

If someone asks you out they should pay. End of story. If on the other hand they were not asking you out but asking you to go with them ie I will meet you there etc then you pay for yourself.

I think I can one-up you OP. I was asked on a date, my mom had to pick him up and he decided to bring his 5 year old nephew. We get there and he only pays for his ticket and for his nephew and he walks away. I make him pay for my ticket because I left my money at home. We watch the movie "The Karate Kid" and he is making childish comments the entire time and his nephew was an angel. -_- and he was 18 at the time.

Why would you just assume he would?...

It's called being a man, some people today make the mistake of thinking most people are decent human beings who were raised right. This site proves that's not the case.

It's called this is the 21st century, also it's called we're in a recession. Quit being sexist, Men shouldn't have to be obligated to pay, especially in times like these. And for the OP to EXPECT him to pay is down right disrespectful and rude. If the guy wants to pay as a nice gesture than fine, but he shouldn't have to pay.

I bet you'll have a great life with those ideas.

I find dates more fun when you go splits like you buy tickets I buy snacks.......never assume with people now or maybe you should have asked

You should really stop posting what you say to yourself while looking in the mirror.

...says the MOCKERYman. I'm not sure if you're even being serious or if you're simply mocking.

It's okay, Reggie. If MockeryMan and I ever go out on a date, I know I'm not paying for his shit.

Even after being with my boyfriend, who throws a fit if I try to pay on a date, for over 2 months, I still bring money jut in case. It's common sense, OP.

First off you don't deserve that! That's rude on his part. And you should not go on another date with him unless he buys u flowers and takes you to an expensive restaurant (and pays). It's just a shame u didnt have money to get a cab ride home and escape from that jerk.
