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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Never, ever, assume

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.

I always offer to pay. Some times guys find it nice when a girl offers to pay for them. Doesn't always have to be a one way situation. Especially when every one is supposed to be equal right?

You never go out without your wallet. Anything could happen and you would be left between a rock and a hard place without it. Then you would be left stranded and embarrassed smh that's basic dating philosophy even if it was the right thing for him to pay you never ever put yourself in that kind of position!!

As a man, I would be ashamed to have a girl whom I asked out to pay for herself.

Shame on everyone who said she deserved it. If he asked her out, he should pay. It's a problem with our society that we don't have enough real men nor real ladies. We have way too many Wusses and b!tches

So your definition of 'real lady' is someone who expects men to do or pay for everything for her? I'm glad there aren't enough of them.

I'm a woman and I don't think the definition of a "real man" includes being extorted by women who've cottoned on that they can get free stuff out of men. People should not have to pay in exchange for romance; that's what escorts are for. Don't get me wrong, a date offering to pay is a lovely and generous act - but gracefully accepting this offer and leaving your purse at home are two different matters entirely.

yeah we should not work, us women ! The idea men should pay is because women couldn't work or shouldn't in the eye of society

Real ladies work for their money and don't expect someone to pay. If that's what she expects every time she has a lot to learn. I always expect to pay my ticket, it's expensive to go. Yes a lot of times they guy pays and so I offer to get the drinks/popcorn.

You do know what assuming does right?
