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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 on a coffee date with a guy I'm interested in. He picked up his phone mid-date to finalize dinner plans with another girl. FML
Today, I went on a date with this guy and he was on his phone the whole night. When I got home I checked his Facebook since he barely paid attention to me. His status was, "So-and-so is taking out the trash" from mobile posted an hour ago. I got home from my date 30 mins ago. FML
Today, I was on a date with a guy I've been crushing on. In the middle of the dinner, he said he had to go get something from his car. When I asked what it was, he smiled and said it was a surprise. I waited for my surprise for half an hour. Then I decided to pay the bill and go home and cry. FML
Today, I went on a date at a restaurant with a guy. When he promised I wouldn't have to pay the bill, I didn't think he meant we'd be dining and dashing. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who seemed to be quite the gentleman. I was proven wrong when he told me to "shut it" during dinner, stiffed me on the bill, and then left me at the restaurant so he could get his own taxi home. FML
Today, I went on a date that went well, until the bill came and she quickly shoved it in my direction, then went to the loo. Rude, but I thought nothing of it… until our waiter took pity and told me I’m the fourth guy she’s had this week who'd been made to pay for her. I paid half, then went home. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who kept checking his phone every five minutes. When I asked him if everything was okay, he told me he was just playing Candy Crush. FML
Today, I took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML
Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's incredibly rude of you. You "guess"?! I'd would say that you were. Be a little more polite next time and stash your phone away; the newest twitter updates can wait.

That you'd even post this on FML and hope for some sympathy shows you how much of an attitude adjustment you're in need of. I've never understood why some people like to pretend they're interacting with human beings when the real thing is sitting right at the table with them.

I wouldn't have even bothered sending you a text. If you're gonna go on a date, be considerate of the guy who's trying to get to know you. YDI

I haven't read the comments and I'm sure this has already been said but when you are on a date your phone should be on silent and not taken out unless it's an absolute emergency. I would have went to the bathroom and not came back and stuck you with the bill and since you love your phone so much you would also notice that I wouldn't be contacting you anymore at all. YDI for being rude.

The only time you should have a phone out when you're with someone is if you're showing them a video, picture, putting them in your contacts, or setting a date with them on your phone calendar or something like that. I've had friends before who ignored me for their phones. Its really lame. But a date? Really? Next time you're with a guy you like, try impressing him by using the correct diner etiquette. And I don't mean act all fancy, just be polite. He shouldn't see your phone at all during the date unless you're trading numbers.

To the 10K people who feel sorry for her, I'll assume you're just as terrible. Why even agree to a date if you can't spend an evening without your phone? Good luck finding a meaningful relationship with anyone ever....

It boggles my mind that you would even say FML to this. I applause that guy for having the balls to call you out on it. YDI

Apparently, you didn't really like him enough; you were ridiculously rude. If I were the guy, I would have just left you with the entire bill!
