Today, assuming he'd be okay with it, I brought my two kids with me on a first date, as I didn't want to pay for child care. My date made me pay for the kids' meals and my own, then blocked my number afterwards. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on a date, and I mentioned that I'm divorced, he was fine with that. I said I have two kids, he was fine with that. I mentioned the youngest is autistic, he was not fine with that, got up, and left so fast saying he wants nothing to do with kids like that. I was left with the bill. FML
Today, I was on a dinner date. Went really well. She said she was excited to have date number two. It came to paying. I went up to pay. Turned around. She had gone. Number blocked. FML
Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML
Today, my date made me pay him for picking me up, and taking me back home. FML
Today, I went on a date. I took her out to an expensive steak house. When she was done eating, she got up, said she was married, and told me she only accepted the date because I'd be paying for it. FML
Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML
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
Today, I agreed to go on a date with this really nice guy. Halfway through the date, he started talking about his wife and kids. FML
Today, a first date with a guy went so badly that he actually paid me to never call him again. FML
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

You didn't want to pay for child care, but wanted your date, on a first date, to pay for everyone's meal - without even checking with them first? Nuh-uh. They usually say that assuming makes an ass out of you and hey, it really did this time. 110% YDI.

What happens when you ASSUME? You make an ASS out of U and ME (and your kids.) On what planet would bringing kids on a first date be okay? Yours kids shouldn't know anything about the guys you date until you've gotten to know them well enough.

I think this would have been fine if he wasn't blindsided. Pretty weird for a first date but if he knew what to expect not a deal breaker.

You absolutely deserve it. Why would you possibly assume your date would be okay with you bringing your kids to a DATE? Especially if you didn't discuss it first? And then you expected him to pay for YOUR kids' meals, plus your own? Good on him for ditching you. And think about this - what you wound up paying for the meals is probably more or less the same amount you'd have paid for child care, anyway. I call this karma.
