Today, a guy I had been casually seeing asked me to dinner. Thinking he could be wanting to make things serious, I got all dressed up. Turns out he got a girlfriend and just wanted to tell me in person to avoid things being awkward. We then waited in silence for our meal. FML

And to anyone saying I could have left... He picked me up in his car and drove me to the place. The car ride home was equally fun.

You didn't have to wait in silence with him, you could have just left...

I wouldn't have given him the satisfaction of thinking that I was upset. I would have just walked out after wishing them the best.

Honey you should have politely excused yourself. I would not have eaten with him or spoken to him ever again. You will find a good man deserving of you.

No, because it wasn't a serious relationship. Casually seeing means they weren't an item.

Did he not think to break up with you before you got in the car?

I'm sorry, but it seems like you were personally disappointed about his revelation. It's nice that you've been able to laugh about it with others here on FML, but if you went out of your way to dress nicely and showed up to dinner with the assumption that he was going to ask you to be exclusive with him, only to be told otherwise, you must have started to like him outside a friend-with-benefits manner. If anything, it sounds like the guy was happy to have a mutual friend with benefits until he met someone that he saw as "marriage potential". I can't help but feel that the word "casual" has started losing its meaning, as if "casual" is code for, "I don't want to date you, but I don't want to not have sex with you, at least until a person that I potentially want to date *and* have sex with comes along, in which case, I suffer from virtually no consequence by breaking any emotional ties, or lack thereof, with you."

I feel if that were the case and that's all their relationship was. Then he could have called or texted her telling her it was over. I think there was more of a relationship there than you think.

I'm sorry op. You seem like a really nice person. I think it was poor planning on his part for taking you to dinner instead of asking you to meet him for coffee or lunch, but at least he did it in person. As a guy I think if you were ever in a similar situation the guy you're seeing would be ok with you asking him to take you home as soon as he told you he was seeing someone else. I'm sure he was trying to be as nice as possible about it, but I doubt he really wanted to endure that awkwardness either. I wish you better luck with your love life in the future :)

How does that make things less awkward? That's leading you on. On the bright side, you avoided dating a moron.
