Today, this guy took me to Denny's on a first date and used a 2-for-1 coupon. It was expired. I paid. FML

Oh my god this girl had to PAY FOR HER OWN MEAL!????? When there was a MALE human present!?!!?!?!? Obviously since she has a ****** she is owed free food by any man unlucky enough to spend time with her in a restaurant. Count yourself lucky for finding a date.

Okay, for everyone who thinks, "Oh, well, women need to learn to pay, too". That is NOT the point. The point is that HE invited her and HE took her out. If it had been her idea, it would have been a different story, but if he invited her, he's expected to pay. I mean, sure, I've taken my boyfriend out for dinner quite a few times (One time I had about $150 to spend on him), but if he says he's taking me out, that means he's paying, so I don't have to worry about it. Something like that happened to my cousin, except it was with her dad and his fiance. My cousin's dad invited her and her boyfriend out to dinner to Red Lobster. My cousin's dad and fiance got drunk and ate a bunch of food, then said they didn't have any money, and left.

hahaha don't pick up your date off the streets

lol... Denny's. He probably tried to take someone to the free grand slam breakfast too.

i hope you put out after a stellar, expensive dinner like that. Dennys is a real classy place

my ex took me to the dollar movie on our first date. and i paid for my own ticket.

So? Why do girls always act like the guy should pay?

You missed the point. The FML was that A. He took her to Denny's on a first date. Save up if you have to but you can do better. B. she was the only one who paid when HE took HER out.

@61 Dating is by and large timing. Sure, you could wait to "save up" but run the risk of missing out. With that said, the date should be about getting to know the other person in hopes of finding a compatible personality. Not providing you the ability to stuff your face without concern.

#61 so if SHE had taken HIM out then she would be expected to pay? don't make me laugh

hahahahah LOL at #27 because, if he doesn't have money, he must at least have a car. whatever happened to romance, people?
