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.

Lol a lot of women cry equality until it doesn't benefit them.

I never use apps like Apple Pay, but in a situation like this, I definitely would. That way you could send all the money to your date right away and she could pay after receiving the money.

The next time you can get a hold of her or see her apologise pay her back and then go from there. if she still doesn't want to speak to you at least you paid her back.

What you should have done is said that you will pay her back when you get to your place and then boom now you're not cheap and maybe the date could've lasted a hit longer

Honestly with how often you hear of guys trying to #wastehertime or hear of guys ditching the girls with the bill at a restaurant or hearing that if a guy uses the excuse "oops, forgot my wallet" Everytime you go out its a 'red flag'. I don't blame her for not believing you. she is probably stuck on the fact that you might have been trying to play her. Did she overreact by not even hearing you out? yes, but I can understand why she didn't believe you.

I always wondered how someone can leave their wallet behind. I work in customer service and this happens daily, at least once or twice an hour that someone says they left their wallet in the car and need me to hold their items so they can go get their money. In a way, it is a YDI. A wallet should be something you carry on you at all times. You never know what you're going to need it for. I keep my wallet on my person at all times. I also never assume my date is going to pay for me as well for the simple reason of neither of us getting stuck in that same situation.

Me too. I have a friend who always forgets her id. We traveled together once and she forgot her Id and had to drive back from the airport to get it. We almost missed our flight. She constantly forgets it. I ask her why she doesn't keep it on her and she always looks at me like I'm ridiculous and says most people don't keep everything on them all the time.

Like, I went though a short phase of it when I switched from a wallet chain to purses, but even then I only forgot during routine things where I didn't really need it, like going to class. I always triple check whenever I know I'll actually be spending money or have a high likelihood of it.

This reminds me of Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Good thing she isn't returning your calls, I say. You got a free meal out of it and don't have a needy, overreacting girlfriend. You may feel like crap now, but the sun will rise again tomorrow, my friend. The right girl is out there. I promise.

For those giving the girl the hard time over this, imagine if it was her posting the Fml. Today a guy asked me out to a nice Italian restaurant. When the bill came he convienianty didn't have his wallet, leaving me with the check. Fml

Exactly! In fact, there was an FML a while ago where this chick went on a first date with a guy and he "forgot his wallet" and all of the comments involved him being called a dog or her dodging a bullet. The FML community is daft.
