Today, my date unexpectedly brought her friend to dinner with us. They seemed bored of me after ten minutes and left me out of their conversation for the rest of the night. Oh, and they made me pay for both of them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went on a date with a girl my friend set me up with. I thought we got along great, until after dessert, when I asked if she'd be interested in doing this again. She just said, "Nahhh" then got up and casually left, stiffing me on the bill. FML
Today, my date mugged me, just minutes after I paid our bill at the restaurant. FML
Today, after finally getting a date with the girl I like, she invited her new boyfriend along as well. I ended up paying for their first date. FML
Today, I was out on a dinner date when suddenly a girl walks up to us and says to my date, "Girl, you can do so much better." Hearing this, my date looks at me, nods, gets up and walks off. I still had to pay for everything. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML
Today, I went on my first date in over a year, and my best friend popped up at the restaurant uninvited. To make it worse, she pulled up a chair right in between us and started an argument with the bartender. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy that I really like. At the last minute he informed me a friend would be tagging along. To keep his friend from being a third-wheel, I kept up a conversation, and managed to piss my date off. He thought I would be a better match for his friend. FML
Today, my date ditched me and showed up with another guy at the same restaurant. She even tried to take the reservation. FML
Today, I went on a date that went well, until the bill came and she quickly shoved it in my direction, then went to the loo. Rude, but I thought nothing of it… until our waiter took pity and told me I’m the fourth guy she’s had this week who'd been made to pay for her. I paid half, then went home. FML
Today, I went a double date with my coworker, his girlfriend, and her friend. After some drinks, her best friend stopped including me in conversations. We got back to my place and she was trying to fuck both of them, and ignored me all night. This is the third girl this happened with. FML

Did they put a gun on your head and force you to pay? As soon as they started ignoring you, you should have gotten up, paid for your own food and walked away. I can't imagine why you'd seat here all night and then footed the whole bill. Try to learn from it and not be a pushover in the future.

There was never any intention of a date happening. They only saw you as a free meal ticket. It's a pretty bitchy thing to do and those kinds of girls are insufferable, but at the same time you shouldn't have been so spineless. You chose to stay despite their disrespect and let them walk over you (seriously, why??) Let this be a lesson to you: should this ever happen again, don't pay and don't stay.

Should have just left the two of them.

If it was really just a date, nobody had any power to “make” you pay. You chose to stay and to pay. Should’ve either left or just asked for separate checks. You are a pushover for letting yourself be taken advantage of in that way. People like you are also the reason people try this scheme.

Isn’t this in an episode of Glee?

Next time, try ordering the spine, not the fish.

It’s a hard situation, especially if this was a girl you liked, but she clearly doesn’t like you and it was rude of them to expect you to pay. Don’t ask her out again and if she ever asks you, she’s probably just after a free meal. Say no and move on.

OP - The proper reaction depends on the situation. If this was a first date and my date had brought a friend unannounced, I would turn around and walk - no meal, nothing. If this was an ongoing dating situation I would expect each person to pay for their own meal, and if I was being completely ignored I think I would leave money for my share of the meal and walk. Normally, nobody can take advantage of you unless you enable them to. At the very least speak up when things are going to Hell like this before the bill comes.

Heck no, I get you were trying to do the respectful thing but you shouldn't have paid. Sounds like they used you for a free meal.

You need to grow a set.
