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

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.

Good grief, YDI! I get that, because he asked you out, you think he should pay, but while he did the asking, you did the accepting. Never just assume someone will pay your way, even on a date.

What a strange thing to assume (unless the person was a French speaker, since for them 'invite' does seem to imply an offer to pay.) Even if he'd said he'd pay (including paying for whatever snacks you wanted during the movie), it's weird to go anywhere without any wallet at all; what if you discovered needed a bus or cab or gas or tampons, or you saw something you needed/wanted to buy on the way home?

You know what they say about assume.. It makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me"

Hate to say it but good for him. Nice guys finish last.

You are a disgrace. When a man offers to pay it is a very lovely gesture indeed, but EXPECTING him to pay is not right. At least he found out quickly that you're a money-grabber.

Well sadly, things don't get done like they use to. It makes since why you would assume as such but next time just ask or bring money incase. While on a date I think the one asking out the other should pay, keep a little oldfashion in the world... it just doesn't work like that anymore.

Clearly chivalry means nothing anymore. People these days just disappoint me.

Are you a medieval knight who would like to defend the Church, believe in nothing but the Church, and show no mercy to any infidels (ie people of other religions)? Do you wish to engage in courtly love, meaning flirting with another lover while you're married? Do you idealize the valor, tactics, and morals of the Roman Empire? If you answered "yes" to most of these things, congratulations, you're mostly obeying the code of chivalry!
