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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

You've never heard of going Dutch?

It's just kind of stupid not to have money with you anyway whenever you leave the house for anything... what if you get stuck somewhere and need a cab home or something, or there's something you end up desperately needing for some reason? It's nice if whoever asks the the other out pays, but they don't have to, some people can't afford to or simply don't want to. You shouldn't have assumed, you deserve it for just assuming, and you deserve it for not bringing your money anyway because you should no matter what.

Just pretend you forgot your purse?

Definitely should have brought your money, so you deserve it. But I would have been surprised by him not paying too. But it's a nice gesture, not a rule.

Why does it matter if he pays or not? Maybe he couldn't afford it. Does that mean he is not allowed to date? Ydi for expecting a free ride.

Dick on his part, but one should never assume these things; he should be the embarrassed one, but usually it's the person who forgot their money that gets the blame.

If you don't even make an attempt to pay, you pretty much deserve it.

Times have changed. When I was growing up (raised by my grandparents) they always taught me this: If you are going out as friends, pay for yourself. If you are on a date, however, the guy should pay. I can see where you made your mistake.
