Love: Today, I texted the girl I'm going to homecoming with in a couple...

Today, I texted the girl I'm going to homecoming with in a couple days to say hi. The conversation started OK, but then morphed into her saying that she doesn't feel anything between us, and wants to stop being friends after the dance. I have to buy her dinner and a ticket, out of my own wallet. FML

Today, I got a text from a girl that I've had a crush on for a long time, asking me out to dinner. I agreed and went to the restaurant. Not long afterwards, I got text from her saying something had come up, so she couldn't make it. As I was walking back to my car, I saw her walk into the same restaurant with another guy. FML

Today, I was texted out of the blue by a girl I treated to dinner last year. Since then, we'd chatted and met in passing a few times, but she'd turned down or cancelled all my other date invitations. Sadly, she wasn't trying to meet up. She wanted $500 to benefit a male friend, who was down on his luck. FML

Today, I went out with a girl, I paid for the drinks, and thought everything went well, even though I didn’t make a move, I guess I wanted to take it slow. I texted later to invite her to a private beach next week, only for her to reply that she’s not gonna be available for the next few weeks because her boyfriend is coming to visit. FML

Today, this girl I've been talking to texted me, saying she was going to visit. Trying to be sweet, I bought her $50 worth of chocolate and a cute card. Turns out she meant to send that text to her ex. Seems like the only thing I'll get from this relationship is diabetes. FML

Today, the girl I've had a crush on for a year finally said she'd go out with me. On the way over to pick her up, she called me and said she couldn't go because she was going out to dinner with her ex-boyfriend to talk things over. She asked if she could use the reservations I had made. FML

Today, I was on a date with a girl I've had feelings for since I was 14 (I'm 22). I took her out to dinner, then to a movie that we both liked and had a few drinks afterwards. I thought it was going really well until I was driving her home and she asked to be dropped off at her boyfriend's house. FML

Today, I asked a girl I like to homecoming. I brought her to my house beforehand for dinner with my family. My brother asked her whether we were just friends or dating, she shouted, "Just friends!" and then starts flirting with him with me in the room. FML

Today, after seeing a girl for a few weeks on and off I sent her a text to see if she wanted to go out the next saturday. Predictive text changed "go" to "in". So..."Why don't we in out on saturday?" She stopped calling me. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML

Today, the girl who'd asked me to prom told me she assumed we weren't going together and is now going with her friends. After agreeing to go with her, I'd bought a $200 non-refundable suit along with the ticket. I have no one else to go with. FML

Or tell her you aren't feeling this dance with her and don't pay for her.

No way don't go! She's totally using you, and then what happens when she goes and doesn't even talk to or acknowledge you. That's just messed up bro.

Sorry OP! That's a really shitty way to treat someone

You "have" to? No you don't. Tell her that you are sorry she feels that way and to enjoy the dance... without you.

DON'T PAY FOR HER. Men can't always be expected to pay for everything.

Dont buy the ticket. Last minute when you go to pick her up, dump her. That way, she spent money on a dress she didnt get to wear to homecoming :)

Cancel the plans and tell her to pay for herself

that's a low move. might as well tell her you're not taking her the day of and leave her with no date or ticket to go.

Tell her no. And either find someone else to go with or go on your own. Don't be such a baby. Stand up to yourself. Hold your head up high and go it alone if you have too. This will be the first decision you make that will lead to emotional and social independence where you won't be at the mercy of someone else. And it will be the foundation for other situations in your life where you will need to say No to someone. This one moment will ever give your strength and courage or turn you into a little wimp where you continue to do whatever someone else wants to make them happy while they walk all over you. Just end it before the dance and go it alone
