Today, I went on a first date with a guy I met at a speed dating event. He recommended the lamb shank, which I ordered without looking at the menu. When the waiter took my order, my date said, "wait, the lamb is $27, why don't you get the chicken". He then ordered the lamb for himself. FML

The facts are this: 1) I was asked out on a date. 2) I don't care about money. 3) I let him pick the restaurant so that he could keep it in his price range. I even offered to do coffee instead of dinner so that it wasn't a waste of money if we didn't have any real connection anyway. 4) He had been to the restaurant before and ordered the lamb dish, so he knew how much money it was. 5) I ordered water to drink. 6) He didn't even let me look at the menu before he recommended I get the lamb dish, because if I had I would never have selected a meal that was that expensive. 7) He told me to change my order in front of the waiter, and then ordered the lamb for himself. Not wanting to be a total bitch, I didn't complain, but at that point I expected him to pay for dinner. if I couldn't order what I wanted, why the hell should I pay? To all of you losers out there who weren't brought up properly, this is not the way to go about taking a woman on a first date. If you can't understand that, then I feel sorry for you. The whole point of this site is to tell humorous stories about everyday, insignificant things that people can relate to because we've all been there. It was a bad first date, but I think its a funny story. Whatever.

And sarcasm isn't helping. I'd be frustrated too! So think a bit before you comment such rude things, it's not nice!

I'm so tired of people whining, "OH IT'S A DOUBLE STANDARD THAT MEN HAVE TO PAY!" No, jackass. If YOU invite someone out on a date, YOU pay. When I take my S/O out on dates, I PAY. When he offers to take me out, HE PAYS. IF YOU GUYS DECIDE TOGETHER, YOU BOTH PAY. WHAT THE **** IS SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT ABOUT THIS CONCEPT.

Don't look at this as an FML; look at this as a glimpse into the future. If someone you've never met is that bossy and controlling on a first date, can you imagine how he'd be in a relationship? You're better off saying AMF* to him. *adios, ************

Selfish git, dump his ass then order the lamb =]

Yeah i totally agree with the "caitlinh12345" that he is a bit selfish as he ordered lamb for himself and a chicken for you....Your choice to eat lamb remains in your heart...If you was interested in eating lamb then you must be carried on rather than stopping you from that.... Dating Websites

Okay first off in a way I agree with you I think on dates that the bill should be split. At the same time though that's kind of an asshole move. You don't order something else for someone that's rude and also what he did was cheap. It's different if he didn't have the money but when he bought himself the lamb that made him cheap.

I doubt it was all based on the money, she prob would have been willing to pay for it. but in my opinion I would be taken back if he said that and then ordered it for himself. it has nothing to do with being an f-ing femanist (who by the way need to get off their high horse, and I'm a woman) I would feel the same way if one of my friends said it also
