Today, a pretty co-worker invited me out for drinks after my shift. I have no money left until payday. Embarrassed, I had to decline and go home alone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my "best friend" invited me to drink with her and a couple other friends. She told me to "just bring a few bucks for beer". When I got there, no one else had brought money, including her. They only invited me because I'm the only one with a job. FML
Today, I was sitting at the bar of a popular local restaurant. I sat there for a few hours and drank my sorrows away with the bartender. I thought she was pretty, and decided to give her a large tip. The tip sent me over my credit card limit, and the bartender is not single. FML
Today, I went out to eat with a friend. I was supposed to be paying, but when I tried to, there wasn't enough money in my bank account. She didn't have money with her either. FML
Today, after I took off a week from work to grieve the loss of my girlfriend, who was very sick and passed due to natural causes, my paycheck suffered because of that and last night, to avoid going back to hard drugs, I went out to the clubs where I blew the only 250 bucks I had on strippers and drinks. Now I have 0 bucks for rent. FML
Today, I went to have a drink with my friend. On the way I withdrew 20 bucks and when I arrived at the bar I realised I had taken my credit card but not the banknote. FML
Today, I put my paycheck in my wallet, intending to cash it in the next day. Later on, I met up with a friend and went to a party. I ended up getting so drunk, I gave away my $400 check in exchange for a pack of smokes, thinking it was a $5 bill. FML
Today, a coworker invited me out for a date, totally out of the blue. I had no idea she liked me, but I did my best to impress. She ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, two bottles of wine, and eventually picked up and went home with our waiter. I got the bill. FML
Today, I went to the bar I go to every week. My favorite bartender told me I owed $50 for a tab because the waiter screwed up and undercharged me. The tab was from when my friends bought me drinks to cheer me up because my girlfriend moved away. I ended up paying for my own drinks, plus theirs. FML
Today, to surprise my boss who promoted me within the first two months of my new job, I offered to take him and a couple of coworkers out to eat. We had one minor inconvenience: my bank card declined. I was 200$ in the negative. Apparently my wife decided to take the kids winter clothes shopping. It’s fucking April. FML
Today, I went out and got very drunk. I talked to a girl and some other people. As the girl left, someone told me to follow her as she didn't seem to know where she was going. As a drunk, socially inept idiot, I did so for about 20 seconds, only for someone to point me out to her and quickly guide her away. Then I lost like £700. FML

You should have said you were busy and rescheduled it. Don't let her think you're not interested at least.

How is that embarrassing? Many people are in the same rut as you, you should of just told her the truth instead of seeming like you were turning her down...Smooth.

its called having a credit card

Not everyone can get those. They're pretty hard to get! You need to have your credit score checked, blah blah blah, and if someone had taken your name for fraudulent purposes, you're ****** until that's been taken care of. Credit cards really only run you more debt and screw you over unless you're smart about using it. He should have just told the damn girl that he'd see her next payday because he's broke right now. Is it really that much of a blow to the self esteem to say that?

what? they are not hard to get? maybe u dont know how to handle money well

I can handle money perfectly well and have a credit card of my own, thanks. It did take a while to get since it was my first card. I applied around 5-6 times. None of my friends were able to get a credit card, unless they went to the nearby corner store and bought a prepaid MasterCard.

Sometimes that's easier said than done.

I hope you at least made up a good excuse and asked her if she would be interested in going out another time, and named a day after payday.

if she rly is interested in you, she'd prolly ask you out again. but then again, you could have done something better like providing alternative ideas or explaining to her the real reason. simply declining like that is never a brilliant move..... judging by the fact that you're sulking over it since you bothered posting it on fml.

Why didn't you just tell her, "I'd love to but I don't have any money to pay for drinks"? Most girls would understand. Or if she really likes you she might offer to pay for them.
