Today, I agreed to go on a date with the creepy guy from my Economics class because I'm so broke that I could really use the free meal. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
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
Tonight, on First Dates…
Today, a guy invited me to a first date at a new restaurant. I was going to pay my way, but when he saw how steep the bill was, he insisted that I pay for his meal too, to prove I'm a "real feminist". 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 went on a date with a guy that I have been crushing on for 2 years. At the end of the date he tells me that he is moving away and as his going away present, I could pay for dinner. 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, I went out on a first date. He insisted we go to McDonald's and split a Happy Meal because he "didn't want to waste any money on a first date." 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
The date from hell #5676
Today, I went on an a date with a guy I met online. We were waiting in line at Starbucks when he turned to me and said, "Do you want anything?" Just before I was about to answer, he practically shoved in front of me and paid for himself. The cashier looked more horrified than I did. FML
Today, a cute guy I recognized from one of my classes messaged me on a dating site. He wanted help with homework. FML

Yeah, I know exactly how that feels, OP. I myself use to have severe financial issues do to medical bills, it's hard but you will get through it. Don't know if you're religious or not, but I will pray for you. :)

Being a ***** for food is kind of bad
Ashamed_Sister 60
OP acts just like some sort of "softcore" *****. She still provides sexually motivated favours in exchange for money, even though it's money in the form of free food.

#30 - You just described every date.
Ashamed_Sister 60
#31: No, I always demand split bills on a first date. No guy should ever think that he can buy me or impress me with dinner.
Not_Impressed13 9
Only the first date? Why not every date? :-P
Ashamed_Sister 60
Afterwards we might have some sort of agreement how to split bills. At the first date we surely do not have any agreement, we are just willing to meet each other.

Some guys likes to pay for first dates you kinda hurt their ego if you constantly ask to pay for it. Ill ask a couple to pay for my plate if my date still wants to pay for if. I tell him Ill pay for our next date. I have never kept track of who pays for who.

So does that mean you'd have sex for a cheeseburger? Think I saw that on Maury...
Koravel 10
Dude, I would totally have sex for a cheeseburger

So you are using the guy, toying with his feelings, and leading him on because you are broke? That isn't cool OP and karma will kick your ass for it later
Uhscanherdarklee 10
Ya, even if it means leading someone on and taking advantage of them huh? Why don't you go ahead and admit you were using him during dessert op. Surely, a stand up person like yourself won't allow a few tears or embarrassed admirer to ruin a good tiramisu.

All I have to say is if this creep takes you to Chuck E Cheese, run.

Gattisland is where it's at
MGITSWFTC 17
Or, you know, she could grab a free slice, say "sorry this isn't working out," and ditch. What's wrong with Chuck E Cheese's?
rg350dx 29
No. Dont run. Everybody knows you get scolded for running around the arcade machines. God, have you ever even been to chuck e cheese before?

#3, are you kidding? She's learning the importance of controlling the means of production, and the Law of Supply and Demand. She'll let him supply her free food until he begins to demand sex. At that point, she'll excuse herself to the bathroom and do a Diminishing Marginal Return out the back window. This could be a Master's thesis.

52, I take it you've studied economics - you seem to understand all the principles perfectly!

#52 perdix that is hilarious. But isn't anyone out there feeling more sorry for the classmate who thinks he's got a date with OP? poor guy...
PoopNuggetLeader 4
Yes, yes I do think about it.

#69 was right, in accepting this date, op was tricking the poor guy into thinking that it was a plausible relationship
Voij 16
Better hope he's not one of the modern type of men, who want to split the bill. (Y'know, because society states that men and women are supposed to be equal.[Although that does not make any sense from a biological point of view.])
Voij 16
I've got a distinct feeling that I will be thumbed down to oblivion if I don't further explain my previous statement... I was referring to the fact that the equal-rights movements now-a-days are strong in the population(for good reason), but that these can also have unexpected consequences for people who look at it the wrong way, e.g. by thinking that it only assists women. That biological part was half pure biological differences between man and woman, half "men have different interests in courtship", meaning that men usually try to use active gestures more than women, who prefer subtle methods. (Men: Get dressed, pay for the meal, help her with the chair, etc. Women: Get dressed with the exact right composition of clothes, try to send the right signals without being obvious, etc.)

Dignity for a meal.
NeatNit 33
breaking someone's heart to get a meal? not sure how anyone could think OP is blameless
nisse_fml 9
I agree with #9. You went on a date with someone you find disgusting, who's probably interested in you, just to get a free meal. That kind of makes you an asshole
Caltech 12
good point. i agree with u
\ 28
would it be more honorable if OP went hungry?
RedPillSucks 33
@26 - Not sure it makes OP an asshole. Definitely a prostitute, however.
practicallyjesus 7
There are always ways to get a free or cheap meal without having to screw with someone's heart. I'm astounded that OP thinks that he or she is the one we should feel sorry for.
wjh100 13
I'm so confused non of these post have any relevance to #5 did someome remove their comment?

He supplied you a meal and you fulfilled his demand. Quite fitting of the course you're in, is it not?
oj101 33
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Everything has a value, relative to demand and supply. Unfortunately, the free meal came with a large opportunity cost.
GothickNihilist 15
Hopefully his demands won't increase, from what she's willing to supply.
license2chill 5
What if the guy is willing to cover the cost resulted from the large demand and little supply
RodzillaX 30
At least you won't go hungry. You're not exactly winning at life but your survival skills top notch.
mackdeezy 22
FYL OP, stock on some ramen the first chance you get. Sometimes they're as low as 10 cents.
Steffi 26
YDI for using him.

FML his life though. "Today that girl I love finally accepted my offer of a date, the same day I heard her say she'd do anything for a meal. Forever alone. FML"
