Love: Today, I was on a dinner date with a guy I really like. I guess...

Today, I was on a dinner date with a guy I really like. I guess I was on my phone too much because halfway through the date he sent me a text saying how much my half of the bill would be. FML

Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML

I'm trash

Today, I went on a date with this guy and he was on his phone the whole night. When I got home I checked his Facebook since he barely paid attention to me. His status was, "So-and-so is taking out the trash" from mobile posted an hour ago. I got home from my date 30 mins ago. FML

Today, I was on a date with a guy I've been crushing on. In the middle of the dinner, he said he had to go get something from his car. When I asked what it was, he smiled and said it was a surprise. I waited for my surprise for half an hour. Then I decided to pay the bill and go home and cry. FML

Today, I went on a date at a restaurant with a guy. When he promised I wouldn't have to pay the bill, I didn't think he meant we'd be dining and dashing. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy who seemed to be quite the gentleman. I was proven wrong when he told me to "shut it" during dinner, stiffed me on the bill, and then left me at the restaurant so he could get his own taxi home. FML

Tonight on First Dates

Today, I went on a date that went well, until the bill came and she quickly shoved it in my direction, then went to the loo. Rude, but I thought nothing of it… until our waiter took pity and told me I’m the fourth guy she’s had this week who'd been made to pay for her. I paid half, then went home. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy who kept checking his phone every five minutes. When I asked him if everything was okay, he told me he was just playing Candy Crush. FML

Today, I took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML

Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML

That's incredibly rude of you. You "guess"?! I'd would say that you were. Be a little more polite next time and stash your phone away; the newest twitter updates can wait.

Definitely a YDI. Put your damn phone away and TALK to the person your with. It's impolite to sit there on your phone ignoring the person. Facebook can wait a few hours. Believe it or not, you won't die if you put your phone down.

Seems like every restaurant I go to most couples are making small talk and just messing with their phones.

I make it a rule that when I am out on a date, the cell phone stays in the car. Sure, emergencies can happen, but if there were risk of a highly immediate need, I wouldn't be on the date to begin with.

That depends on why you were on the phone at all. If you were waiting for something important (like someone either dying or having a baby), it would make sense to explain that to your date. The other day, my boyfriend got mad at ME because a guy we both know kept blowing up my phone with texts. Since I was waiting on a call from my sister, I couldn't just shut the thing off. I finaly texted Dude saying, "I am trying to spend time with my boyfriend and you're interfering." Then, I blocked his number. Um ... My piont is that unless there was a reasonable explanation for needing to respond on the phone YDI.
