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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom and I went out to a fancy and expensive restaurant per her request; she told me it was her treat. After we ate our meals and the large check came, she excused herself to the bathroom. She didn't come back. I was dine-and-dashed by my own mother. FML
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
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 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 had my first real meeting with my girlfriend's parents. We had dinner at a pretty upscale restaurant and everything was going great. When the check came, I offered to pay and I stood up to take out my wallet. When I opened it, 3 condoms fell out on the table in front of them. FML
Today, I was out on a dinner date when suddenly a girl walks up to us and says to my date, "Girl, you can do so much better." Hearing this, my date looks at me, nods, gets up and walks off. I still had to pay for everything. FML
Today, my friends took me out to the most expensive restaurant in town to celebrate my promotion, we ordered everything with expensive drinks too. They 'took a smoke break' and left me with the bill. FML
Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. 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 took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML

Only pay for your two meals and tell the restaurant the name and address of the two parents..

Considering that the parents shelled out a fortune for an overpriced prom dress for their daughter, they probably felt they were entitled to a free meal to take a little sting out of the blow.

are you freaking kidding me? that was one of the most sexist things ive ever heard. prom is expensive for EVERYONE. RENTING a tux is every bit as expensive as BUYING a prom dress in many instances, and the guy often times pays for the limo and the tickets too!

I would have made it extremely clear in the beginning that I was taking their daughter out,not them. if they couldn't handle that then clearly their daughter was not the right one for you. Also, I would send them the bill for their food. The least they could do is pay you back.

So now it all depends on your approach. If the girl is just for now like girls at this age usually are - just live with it, enjoy the girl and avoid her parents in future. If however you see it as some more serious relationship, remember that you are also (sort of) entering the family. And now you know what is the family like...

whatever her parents should not of expected him to pay for them anyway thats pretty rude at least were im from anyway. But then again he shouldnt of acted like a little pussy if he didnt want them there then he should of told his bitch not to bring them ;) or at least say thats its a special occasion meant for only him and her. Done.
