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

#ThugLife We've all been in a similar situation, making up something so you don't have to say that you don't have cash. No hard feels...

I'm sure she appreciated dinner! I'm sorry you couldn't take her out to the movie though, next time set a budget for each event maybe.

If you're short on cash maybe you should ask her to split the bill next time, as gentlemanly as it is to pay for a girl this is the 21st century, and most girls worth being with don't mind contributing financially on a date.

You could've ask her pay for the movie.

Why did you take her to a fancy restaurant if you know that you don't have much money to spend? If she really loves she wouldn't care if it was a regular restaurant or a fancy.

Or he could take her to a still nice, but less expensive place...

Honestly OP, you could have just suggested going for a walk after dinner. Most girls like that (:

That's a shame, but I'm sure she wouldn't have minded if you'd suggested doing something that didn't cost money. I'd much rather go on a nice walk with my boyfriend or sit in and watch a movie with him than just have him go home without me. If she really cares about you taking her to expensive places, that's her problem

I would have just been honest with her. Does she ever pay for the dates? My husband and I always took turns paying when we were dating.

That's how my boyfriend and I are. I personally don't like splitting the date- why ask someone out and then have them pay? I find that somewhat rude honestly. if I suggested going to dinner, I will pay the whole check and vise versa. we take turns paying for our dates. or do what others are saying. one pays for dinner, and the other pay for the movie

I never complain when my BF can't pay, and when I want to do something he can't afford I always pay. But as far as money goes, he worked full time and went to school part time. I was the opposite, and finishing grad school (so it was expensive). It made sense for us that he paid more often than me, since I was barely able to afford to feed myself, let alone go on dates. Now we both work full time and are no longer in school, so we can split dates more evenly.

for a while, I was the only one in the relationship with a job, so I paid for our dates the majority of the time. now we both have jobs and so we split the dates. he paid for dinner last time we went out, I paid the time before that, etc.
