Money: Date night

Date night

By feminist - 17/06/2009 15:25 - Canada

Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. 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 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, while paying for dinner, my card declined and my date immediately left. The waitress then ran my card again successfully. 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

Tonight on First Dates

By Anonymous - 02/04/2024 15:00 - United Kingdom

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 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 to a restaurant with my boyfriend. After dessert, he went to the bathroom so I quickly called the waiter over and paid the bill, thinking it was a nice gesture. When he returned, he broke up with me for "emasculating" him. 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 to a restaurant with my friend, where my credit card got denied in front of everyone. The staff teased me and made me sit in the restaurant while my friend begged for money outside. FML

girl, it's just polite, classy, traditional. get over yourself it's nothing to get in a heated argument about, either. come on, if you offer to pay half and he declines, accept graciously. it makes you seem like less of a bitch.

You're boyfriend should dump your feminazi ass and let you live on on a combine with all the other feminists. You make me hate you.

L2Grammar, man. You could be posting groundbreaking scientific research or stating that the sky is blue, but nobody is going to take you seriously at all if you sound like that.

There's nothing wrong with his grammar. "You make me hate you." Same thing as "You make me eat cake." Grammatically correct.

I think the grammar error he was referring to was in the "you're boyfriend" part. *facepalm*

You should be flattered that someone would want to spend their hard earned cash for your benefit. We're living in tough times financially and he was just trying to be a gentleman.

...why would you ARGUE about who pays the tab? It's okay to be a femminist, but damn... Sexism is one thing, but there's nothing sexist about a man paying the tab. If you have a problem with men spending money on you, get with someone that's broke. That way YOU'LL be spending YOUR money on HIM. But you wouldn't like that either, would you? There's women in some countries that don't have the LUXURY of complaining about trivial shit like this. It's bitches like you that make me ashamed to call myself a female.

YDI. Also, when someone offers to pay for YOUR dinner, be grateful and accept it. Don't throw the "I'M A WOMAN, I CAN PAY FOR OUR DINNER. GRRR." card at him. He was trying to be polite, you bitch.
