Today, I had a date with a girl I've liked for a while. We went out to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner. I was obviously going to pay, but when the bill came I realized I'd forgotten my wallet. When I told her, she thought I was a cheap liar and now she won't answer my calls. FML

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there. Anyone who expects their date to pay and is offended when they don't are usually cheap themselves.

If you had clearly said you were going to pay I can understanding her being upset, but even so she overreacted and is a bitch. Could you not have offered to pay her back though and avoided it being an issue? I think it's safe to say you lucked out though, she doesn't seem worth your time.

Bit rude she assumed you'd pay and she wouldn't have to.

If you truly intended to pay, I cannot see her being so upset with an offer to repay her. If she truly is so bothered by it, I would agree with the others on here and say you dodged a bullet.

I think you could explain to her, true love is a long time thing, it should survive from the tests.

I feel like it's YDI and FYL.. Like, of course it happens sometimes (I've once locked myself out my house after a night shift, because I could've sworn I took my keys), but then again, it's an mundane everyday thing. You went on a date with a girl you were trying to impress, it was a special occasion; surely one would make sure they've got everything they need on them. I also agree, you may have dodged a bullet as she might be the kind of girl who would always expect you to pay etc., but to be honest, I'd, too, be a bit vary if on the first date he conveniently doesn't have his wallet - not because I would've minded paying per say, but because what is says about you. Maybe you're a nice guy who got nerveous and forgot, but maybe you really are that kind of a guy who 'forgets his wallet' you know. I'd probs still give you another chance to make up for it, so fingers crossed, she will, too!

As someone who has been in this situation before, I can totally see why she got upset, but because it was a first date, I really don't get why she would shut OP out and ignore his calls. In my experience, the guys who pull this kind of thing on purpose don't call.

I've heard more than a few horror stories of guys acting remorseful and then pulling the shit again, and very crude guys pulling this and then calling to try and hit the girl up for sex. I'm not saying it's common, but at the same time these types of guys do their best to get around, so it's very possible the girl has been dealt with one of the legit assholes before and doesn't want to waste he time with one again.

I'm guessing you've never been out with someone who conveniently "forgot their wallet." Spoiler alert: they don't pay you back.

Did you open that awkward conversation with the offer to pay her back as soon as you had your wallet back? I always offer or fight to pay for dates with my guy, but even I would be a little put off by that excuse if it wasn't coupled with an offer to pay me back.

Next time something like this happens, invite her back to your place so you can pay your half of the bill and she might even want to stay the night if she sees you're not actually trying to rip her off

Reminds me of Allen Harper from 2 1/2 men. But I agree if your date expected to you to pay then she not someone who you should be with. I feel that the first date should you should split the check and then who ever ask for a second date should pay and then alternate from then on. And special occasions should be split also

If you ask someone out to dinner, generally, you pay for the meal. The only time my wife and I alternate, is if it is a special occasion and she wants to pay instead of me. I've only gone "dutch" if the person and I just met up for a quick lunch. Dating is expensive and unless you set the expectations of splitting the meal, than it shouldn't be expected.

She overreacted. But I seriously don't get how people just forget their wallets. It has your money, drivers license, i.d. all pretty important things. How does it not occur to double check for it before you go?
