Today, my date threw a fit, burst into tears, and made a huge scene in the middle of a crowded restaurant, all because I offered to pay. FML
Izamellayella tells us more.
I just now realized that this was posted, and, yes, I do realize that it was more than two months ago. He was actually my friend's old roommate, and she introduced us around a year ago. We didn't really interact that much but I thought that he was nice, so when he asked me out, I decided that I'd at least give him a chance. For the record, it wasn't some elaborate ultra-expensive fancy restaurant, but the meal certainly wasn't cheap. I've been in the habit of offering to pay for my meals for a while now, and I certainly wasn't expecting that kind of reaction for him. And no, I don't think that the guy paying for the date is sexist. I don't see why the girl can't pay sometimes, though, and I was just trying to be nice. If he'd wanted to pay, he could have told me instead of freaking out like that. He never called me back after that, but even if he did, I wouldn't have gone on another date with him. I enjoyed reading your comments! Most of you guys are really funny.

Good for you for offering to pay. You obviously deserve better though.

I'll go for a dinner date with you and I promise not to complain if you pay. In fact I will forget my wallet and insist you pay. ;)

Don't let this turn you off from paying for any future dates' meals. I'm pretty sure this guy is an anomaly. If it happened to me I would have certainly appreciated the gesture. In fact, I think that's probably why I'm trying to convince you to not change due to this fluke date.

I think it's awesome that you offered to pay. Very rare indeed. I've seen people struggle for the check before but to have a fit and cause a scene? Wow!

O: Woman with money?! I thought that was a myth, I mean, what's she doing out of the kitchen? Well, at least she's taking care of her guy buy offering to pay. :D

People who are sexist on FML tend to be just joking, don't worry.

Your date was an idiot. But, be thankful they showed their true colors so early on.
