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

Never expect anything on a first date.....duh

Why do you expect the guy to pay on the first date? You obviously had no intend of paying, so you left your money home in case he did not pay for you. But boohoo he didn't anyway. Also, you sound like a girl that only orders a salad and then eats half the food of other peoples plates.

OMG! it was $6!!! that's a great 1st impression that your date can't pick up your $6 salad! NEXT!!!

OP: wow he's a real catch! so, like, your still single huh? can i have your number? we'll go vegetarian lol

wow, he's well clear of a freeloader like you. read this. http://roissy.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/the-story-of-a-man-who-refused-to-buy-a-girl-a-drink/ of course its nice to have dinner bought for you, but that goes both ways, maybe you should offer to cover the dinner tab for the next guy you're on a date with. but trust me, no guy worth having will ever respect you if you EXPECT them to pay your way.

god damn, just read through a lot of these comments, and can i just say, to any girl who honestly thinks that its a guys "place" to pay for the dinner, then it is your "place" to stay in the kitchen and have his dinner ready when he comes home. God damn the sexism in this topic is sickening. Go go female empowerment "Get a guy to do it". idiots.

Girls like that are insults to the rest of us females. this has nothing to do with him being cheap. YOU ate it, not him, you pay. it's as simple as that. Good for him to be rid of you.

OK, I got UPSET just reading this, because if the roles were reversed then I guarantee you these people wouldn't be giving you a hard time if you were the one who paid for his stupid meal. I know it's the 21st century & chivalry is practically extinct among the human races, but common courtesy should still be practiced, especially when it comes to dating....... and ESPECIALLY if the meal is under $10.00 -- C'mon now!!! And if this guy made you go running around searching for an ATM just because he felt that SIX WHOLE DOLLARS was going to burn a hole in his pocket, then he's either: 1) Broke as hell and desperate to spare his last penny, 2) Completely spoiled & inconsiderate, or 3) Mentally retarded.

If men were subjugated for many centuries, then finally got equal rights, but still wanted to benefit from the same tradition that kept them subjugated.. yes, I would be giving them a hard time. I don't want chivalry, I want EQUALITY.. and there are no "humans races," there's one human species. Different cultures are different cultures, but skin color is about as useful for dividing people as eye color or hair color. This isn't about the AMOUNT of money. It's about her EXPECTING something. That tells me she's demanding and needy. If I were him, I would have paid the six friggin' dollars, but I never would have called her again.

FYL. I think the fact that the OP went ATM hunting, and didn't run off, shows that she's not a bitch. Because of this I think that she simply forgot her cash. (rather than expecting the guy to pay)

At least it only took $6 to realize he is not worth another date.
