Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML

Today, I went to a concert with a friend of mine. When his dad came to pick him up, I walked towards the car, expecting a ride. His dad told me he didn't have time to drive me home. I'm his neighbour. FML

Today, my boyfriend bought me Kings of Leon tickets for my birthday. Since he thought I was irresponsible, he gave the tickets to his mum so I wouldn't lose them. The show is today, and we can't find the tickets. FML

Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me out on a date. He doesn't have a car, but he said he'd borrow transport from his neighbor. He showed up at my house on a ride-on lawn mower. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were driving around town in his car. To my surprise he took me out to lunch. As we were leaving, a girl walks up and asks if he had room for one more for a ride, sadly he only has two seats in his car. Guess who had to walk! FML

Today, I spent hundreds of pounds buying my best friend concert tickets to see our favourite band, complete with a meet and greet. I drove over very excited to pick her up to take her. She had already left. With her boyfriend. FML

Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend told me he was too busy studying for finals, but that he'd take me out another day instead. He later drunk-dialled me from a party demanding a lift back home. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to go to a car show. I told him to hold on, I had to ask my mom. I quietly asked her to say no for me. She said "Sure!". FML

That's when you speak up and say, "No. I'm taking YOU. If you don't want to go, I'll take somebody else." Don't be a doormat.

Every single person who trashed the boyfriend in the comments for not taking her has no idea what the term "giving a gift means". A true gift is given not expecting something in return. She gave him the tickets and expected that he would take her to the concert in return. That is not giving a gift, that is quid pro quo. It is commerce. If she was expecting him to take her, she did not give him a gift. She gave him a gift to give to her.

next time just say: "hi darling, i bought US concert tickets to see this band, now WE can go TOGETHER!" it's called being clear. you still give him one ticket so it's still a gift!

agree with evil dave. If the op wanted to go she should have said "I am taking you to see *insert band* on *insert date* for your birthday!" he would have been happy and she could have got him a small gift. if the tickets were a gift and she expected to be taken she was not giving him a gift really...

It's your fault. You can't expect him to take you, sure that would be nice of him but its his gift he should be able to use it how he wants. If you wanted it to be you and him you should have said so when you gave him the tickets.

#76 Agreed. OP should have specified that she wanted to go when she gave him the tickets. Passive-aggressively complaining about it won't do anything...
