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

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

Today, I went on a date with a guy. I lost interest in him quick, so I excused myself to go to the bathroom, hoping to make a run for the hills. As soon as I reached the front door, our server yells out, "I hope you’re not thinking about dining and dashing!" 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 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

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, my date refused to pay for my dinner, even though he promised to beforehand. It turns out, he assumed I would just be ordering a salad for dinner, "based on your slim figure". FML

Tonight on First Dates

By Anonymous - 02/04/2024 15:00 - United Kingdom

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. I took her out to an expensive steak house. When she was done eating, she got up, said she was married, and told me she only accepted the date because I'd be paying for it. FML

Today, my date mugged me, just minutes after I paid our bill at the restaurant. FML

He seems a bit cheap. I wouldn't be expecting any presents if you decide to go out with him.

I'm hoping you don't go out on a date with him again ...

Nice going, stealing from people who are the least able to afford it. What's next, beating hobos up for change?

You should be ashamed that you went through with it. YDI. The server that makes 2.13/hr had to pay for your food.

YDI 100%... You cant go "oh FML blah blah blah" when you made the decision to get up and walk out with him. If you really cared or had an integrity you would have been like "oh well he's a d-bag" and paid the bill and told the cheapskate off. If you had no money with you to pay the bill explain it to a manager. They would be able to figure something out and that way the server is less likely to be stuck paying for your dinner. Im a server, and Ive seen people walk out on tickets that cost more than we've made in tips that night. Really sucks to come into work 2 nights to pay for 1 tab because of people like you.
