Today, my date refused to pay for my dinner, even though he promised to beforehand. It turns out, he assumed I would just be ordering a salad for dinner, "based on your slim figure". 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 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
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 first date with a guy. As soon as we sat down at the restaurant, he immediately snatched my menu and said "You're having salad." 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 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, 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 had a date at a formal restaurant I'm well known at. My date showed up two and a half hours late with a jogging suit on, and then got mad at me for ordering, eating, and paying without him. FML
Today, my date mugged me, just minutes after I paid our bill at the restaurant. 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, 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

Unless you ordered something much more expensive this is ridiculous. If everything on the menu was $15-20 and you ordered the one $90 item this would be fair, but expecting you to order a salad is just insane.

It’s a small price to pay to get that kind of information up front.

You know what they say about assuming shit? I have no idea, but there has got to be one that fits this FML.

It makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'!

It’s 2018. Stop relying on men to pay for you.

He's the one who said he was inviting. When my dad/mom/friend says he/she's inviting, I fully expect the bill to be paid and I'm going to order the most expensive salad on the menu.

My standard is whoever extends the invitation should be prepared to pay the whole bill. The invitee may offer to pick up their half, and it’s up to me to decide to accept or insist on paying the whole check.

I assume I’m paying for myself and so are they. The exception is if they want to go to somewhere I can’t afford, I’d let them know that and if they really want to go there, they might offer to pay. I do the same sometimes when friends/dates are on a tight budget and I feel like going out for dinner.

I think it was Frederid Beigbeder who said "Models starve themselves to pay for their branded outfits and eat like ogres when invited". Your date shoud have known that. Maybe you were his first model.

I was skinny until I was 25 and I was always super hungry. As my metabolism slowed down I ate less and weighed more. If I am with skinny people I am figuring they're going to eat more than me.

Normally I’d say you deserved it and you should start paying for your own meals but since he promised to beforehand it does make him a dick. Bullet dodged.
