Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 went out to eat with some friends. They picked a table that wasn't big enough for all of us. I had to sit in the booth behind them. Alone. FML
Today, I went on my first date in over a year, and my best friend popped up at the restaurant uninvited. To make it worse, she pulled up a chair right in between us and started an argument with the bartender. FML
Today, it was supposed to be my birthday dinner with two of my friends. They're both now bringing their boyfriends, so I get to be the fifth wheel to my own birthday dinner. FML
Today, my girlfriend chose the most expensive restaurant in town, then spent the entire time facebooking, texting, and playing games on her phone while I dined in silence. This is the second time we've been out this week. She didn't even eat her food. I didn't even get a thank you. FML
Today, I invited a friend over for dinner and spent hours preparing a fancy meal. When I opened the door, he walked in with his new girlfriend, his mom, his sister, and his dog. I barely had enough food for one, let alone five. I ended up serving my fancy meal on paper plates. FML
Today, I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice dinner before prom. Her parents followed her in, and joined us to "keep an eye on me." They interrupted all our conversations, ate an expensive meal, then got up and walked out when the waitress brought the $95 check, leaving me to pay for it. FML
Today, my friends and I were going to Applebee's. A girl we don't like invited herself along. She waited for my friend outside of the bathroom, forced her to drive her, and said, "It's okay someone will pay for me." She then ate off of everyone's plate and left before the bill came. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out to eat at a diner where my friend works. My friend was our waiter but too busy to talk much. He texted me after we'd left to tell me that my girlfriend had slipped him her number. FML
Today, I went on what I thought was a solo outing with my longtime crush. He decided to invite a friend along. I had to pick her up half an hour away from town, he treated her to the movie we were watching while I had to pay for myself, he fingered her in the theatre, and made out with her on the drive home.

Why didn't you tell her you wanted it to be just her? Could have solved a lot of problems.

To me it sounds like your girlfriend is using you! Explain to her how you felt about what happened and see if you can go out again? (if she will apologize!)

dude it drives me crazy when girls think their best friend should be there ALL THE TIME. I'm trying to be a romantic boyfriend, not a walking babysitting wallet

Start talking about your sex life and your bowl movements loudly and obnoxiously next time your girlfriend and her friend pulls some shit like that. Trust me: your girlfriend will never want to let her friend tag along on your date again, and her friend won't want to invite herself either.

*bowel. Although discussing dishes may bore them all to death and have the same effect.

more like she won't want OP tagging along next time her and her friends go out. that's a great way to get yourself excluded permanently. Seems counterproductive to me

I really hope you didn't pay for her or anyone else's meal with her pulling that crap.

Damn, the last sentence really makes tge difference here. Anyhow confront her, and maybe eat her out afterwards, who knows.

Um, yes, it's usually the last sentence that describes what the FML actually is.

Sorry but what a bitch, especially your gfs friend. Who the hell does she think she is inviting herself and others. I would have eaten and left. Wants to pull that crap on me then she can pay both our meals.

FYL OP. Next time, make your intentions more clear or at least grow a backbone and sit by your girlfriend. She is YOUR girlfriend right? Nevertheless, FYL.
