Today, I sent a text to a guy I'd met over the weekend. He'd traveled 40 miles to my town for the date, so I picked up the tab for dinner. My text simply said, "Had a nice time. Looking forward to getting together again." His reply was, "When did you get so needy?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on a dinner date with a guy I really like. I guess I was on my phone too much because halfway through the date he sent me a text saying how much my half of the bill would be. FML
Today, this guy I was seeing dumped me for "bombarding" him with text messages. I'd sent him one text asking if he was okay, after he stood me up 2 nights in a row. FML
Today, I texted the guy I went out with last night. He'd told me he’d text me when he got home, but he never did. Cracking a joke, I asked him if he was homeless or something, since he broke his word. He replied, “No, I’m just not that into you. Have a nice life.” FML
Today, my boyfriend complained that we may not work out because I'm "just too needy". I'd woken up early and texted him "good morning" while he was trying to sleep. FML
Today, I was texted out of the blue by a girl I treated to dinner last year. Since then, we'd chatted and met in passing a few times, but she'd turned down or cancelled all my other date invitations. Sadly, she wasn't trying to meet up. She wanted $500 to benefit a male friend, who was down on his luck. FML
Today, the guy I've been flirting with for a week, and would be meeting in two days, sent me a message that he wouldn't be able to text me this evening because he'll be on a date. FML
Today, I sent a text to my best friend venting about how terrible my date was going. I called the guy I was with a "clueless idiot." I sent it to my date instead of my friend. He responded with, “I’m sitting right in front of you.” FML
Today, a guy I went on one date with asked me out again via text. Being honest, I texted back, politely saying that he was a good guy but I wasn't really interested. He came over to my house, screaming about how awful I was for "text message breaking up with him" and then cracked my windshield. FML
Today, slightly drunk from a head-frazzle of a night out from hell, I sent a text meant for my friend recounting the terrible date I'd just been on… to the date himself. He replied with, "I know, right?" FML
Today, I texted my girlfriend a long, heartfelt message this morning. Her response? "What do you need? Or is this even really you?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sorry but when you pay for dinner on the first date and then text him afterwards you do seem desperate and needy. Let the guy come after you.

#19 that would make her the freeloader, just because the girl helped pay for the date expense doesn't make him a freeloader at all, she took the tab from him. and he doesn't owe her any money.

Sorry, but we must all accept reality here. Men who don't pay are freeloaders, and women who don't pay respect themselves. Unfair? Sure. Double standard? Absolutely. But that's just the way it is, yo (and it's probably not going to change anytime soon).

37 - Could you explain to me how is it that a woman disrespects herself by picking up the tab?

37, it doesn't matter what double standards society try to make us think about people. If someone tells you to jump off a bridge, would you do it? (Inb4 a bunch of sarcastic responses) A guy who doesn't buy for a date is NOT a freeloader or a gold digger, especially when the woman offered to do it herself. So, Amazeballs, think for yourself for once.

I get what you were trying to do, and it *was* really considerate and nice. But on the first date, you shouldn't be worrying about that at all. In fact, quite the opposite--you should be watching to see just how much he likes you (and had he done the drive and paid, I'd say "two thumbs up"). I would understand if it was his BIRTHDAY and he drove 40 miles, but since it wasn't, you did make yourself look kind of desperate in the eyes of *most* guys. And this guy sounds like a DB anyway, so be glad you saved yourself even more time and money. Go out and find a new cuter, funnier man to have fun with (and let him pay!!).

"Go out and find a new cuter, funnier man to have fun with (and let him pay!!)." Amazeballs, you are seriously a ******* bitch. "LET him pay"? You think it's some kind of honour to a man if he is forced to pay for everything for his woman? Because, after all, "if society says so, than it must be true! HURR!" I thought women were equal in the 21st century? You do realise that equality doesn't mean "equal rights for when and only when it benefits you", right? What's the problem with splitting the bill? Typical, pathetic ******* gold digger mentality

I have to agree with Hughmadd here. You sound like a high-maintenance bitch who thinks she deserves the whole world served to her on a gold platter. Sorry I don't agree with your view, but I actually strive for equality in my relationships.

I think that if a guy pays it is sweet but NOT to be expected. I think a girl should offer to pay her part of the bill.

nah, following ridiculous "rules" is better because those who follow them will likely spend most of their fertile years trying to play games .... weeding out the gene pool as someone else said if I went out with somebody and they texted afterward saying that they had a good time, I'd think, "that's great. they had a good time."

I have never heard of that rule.

She isnt needy or desperate, she sent one innocent text saying she had a good time. I think most women would. He's just a jerk who got a free meal.
