Cheap

By Nator - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

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.

that was a dick hole move on your cousins dad's part!

why are you so cheap? you should pay more often

Thats pretty bad, but then again I was totally broke for a while a took a girl to get McDonald's dollar menu, fortunately I bullshitted by way out of it by taking her somewhere to have a picknick and said I planned it that way. Also, I agree with 32, my girlfriend takes me out sometimes just to mix it up and it is awesome to go where ever you want to for once

There aren't any "k"s in picnic.

if a guy takes you to denny's on a first date, that should tip you off that he's not prince charming. then again, i guess denny's is a fancy place in most southern states... for your next date you should take him to the dentist to fill in all those missing teeth.

that's what i call a mans man lol

I don' think he actually wanted a date, he was probably just hungry

well he was broke because of of bush's brilliant economics haha

Cough... The economy downturn started with the Carter administration, not Bush. Furthermore, I'd love to see your choice president handle the beginning of a war, massive natural disaster and countless other scenarios with half as much class and intelligent direction as Bush and his administration did. But let's not get into politics.

I feel sorrier for the guy in the story putting up with the OP for an entire meal. She must be a real treat to spend time with. You have a lot of growing up to do.
