Today, just like the past 2 weeks, I'm so broke that I only got to eat dinner because I went on a first date with a guy from Tinder. FML

I feel a little bad for your dates. No one likes to be used for money. Maybe I'm just a little too feminist, but I don't think it's fair that men are expected to pay for all the dates, or all of the date, and I don't think it's fair that some women use men for a free meal ticket. Now, if you genuinely were on a date with him and looking for an honest connection or hook up, then maybe okay? Still, ramen diners cost under a dollar and while not nutritious in the least, at least no one is being used.

Im honestly not sure who to feel bad for - you or your dates. I can relate waiting to getting paid and not really having food in the house, but to use dates for food is sad and hurtful to your date. Mind you, Ive never been on Tinder, and not sure 100% what that is other than guessing its a dating app (site?)

If you are in the UK you can go to a foodbank and get enough food for you and your family for 3 days. You need a voucher from teh Citizen's Advice Bureau or a social worker but it is worth it. There is no shame in it either. A lot of people go who have just fallen on hard times or there have been complications with their benefits. There should be a food bank near you if you are in the UK

Dude, I know how that can be.. It seems to be that money is survival & to survive you need money. Saving's the hardest part, especially when most jobs don't pay well & you're living from paycheck to paycheck. I try to stack up on snacks & little things I can take with on the go, to curb my hunger for most of the day. But people are loving, not most, but there are still the good out there, that have been in your shoes & wouldn't hesitate to feed you. There's so many people out there that waste food, don't think about how lucky they are to have so much. Cause like us, we don't have that luxury of just being wasteful.

Well, at least you can still afford wi-fi, and an iPhone! I mean, we can't live without these things right? If only there were a way you could pay for both an iPhone and food!

There's public wifi. Not to mention phones are actually a necessity. If you are trying to get a job how exactly are they going to contact you?

Plot twist: the next guy you go on a first date with from Tinder, expects you to pay for the date. Then your shit out of luck OP.

If you can't afford food, you're budgeting wrong.

O.O So it does suck that you're broke, but using dates for food can really hurt people.
