Today, I went on a date to the movies with this guy I kinda like. When he was driving me home, he asked me to be his girlfriend; I said I couldn’t because it was really bad timing. He kicked me out of the car, called me an asshole, and made me walk home. FML

OP said she kind of liked him, so she must have been feeling it to some degree. She wasn't expecting him to ask her to be his girlfriend on the very first date. That's not realistic. She didn't say she didn't want things to go further in the future, she just didn't want things to go further right now.

Just because she kind of likes him doesn't mean she should automatically accept. Could be she got out of a relationship recently and wanted to take it slow, or perhaps she just wanted to get to know him a bit better. Might have been going through a complicated time in her life... We really don't know but at least she was honest and didn't jump into what could possibly have been a bad relationship judging by his actions.

Were you the same way when he was spending his money? No dear, maybe we should go to Chili's instead of Gordon Ramsay's 3 Michelin star restaurant. Maybe you should buy me jewelry from Claire's instead of Tiffany's. I think you're cool, honey but lets slow down a bit. Its possible that dude thought he was being taken advantage of or maybe he's been taken advantage of before.

Just because they were on a date, it doesn't mean that he paid for everything.

You like(d) him? ☑ (kinda liking someone still counts) You went out with him? ☑ He showed interest in you? ☑ As far as I'm concerned, if you like someone and they like you, you get together with said person. While yes, what he did was douche bag material at its finest and you should clearly keep away from now on, your refusal to be his girlfriend is also not a nice (or logical) move. Needs more context. Why was it really bad timing? Also, if you have personal issues or anything of the sorts which prevent you from dating people currently, why go out with the guy in the first place?

It was bad timing because she didn't want to be in a relationship with him, now. Liking someone does not mean you should or must be in a relationship now or ever.

Unless it was stated that there would be no intention to have a relationship, though what he did was borderline extreme, does warrant a YDI from me, for possibly leading him on before putting him in the friendzone.

While I agree, you shouldn't have even taken the guy out if dating isn't an actual possibility right now - however, FYL for his reaction to rejection.

She never said how many dates they've been on.. And "bad timing" coulda just been another lame excuse she's used before. I don't think that answer was very mature and I don't see why you would expect anything else in return. You don't say "bad timing" you give a valid reason such as "well, we've been on 5 dates and I think you're a great guy, but I want to take things slow." How is that so hard? Respect someone and maybe, just maybe, they'll respect you. You sound like a spoiled brat.

To the people who are saying she deserved it... Please explain how. If it was bad timing, there wasn't anything she could do about it. Would you have rather her not be happy in that relationship? And anyways, the guy sounds like the asshole. I say good for her!

How is it good for her if she made her decision before his negative reaction. She had no clue he'd react poorly.

I agree. She couldn't have known beforehand. Besides, maybe it really was bad timing but that's no reason to stop enjoying life. He can't force her to be in a relationship if she isn't ready.

I'm not going to vote either way on this one, but here's some advice. You should never go out on a date with someone if you're not interested in being with them. It's kind of not fair to them. HOWEVER, he's clearly got anger issues - normal people don't react so harshly when the person they like says no to their advances. He sounds like bad news, so it's probably a good idea to find someone else - and make sure the time is right!!!

Wow, you're just a tad of ein Arschloch. "Oh ill go on a date with you and you'll pay for everything but no, I won't be your girlfriend." Cute stuff right there.

Who says he paid? Besides, just because a girl kinda likes a guy doesn't mean she owes him a relationship just because she went on a date with him.

Going on "one date" isn't leading the guy on. That's what many people do before starting a relationship. They see if they're compatible. Him asking the OP to be his girlfriend after one date would freak any normal person out. It sucks that the OP had to walk but an insight to know he can't handle rejection. I would have gladly walked and know I made a good decision turning him down.

But it doesn't say that it was in fact the first date. It could have been the 5th. Nobody knows. OP should really clarify that.

Funny, I was under the impression that it was the first date but you're correct, it could have been a few dates after re-read the FML The end of my comment still stands.(:

I agree with you 42. Even if it was 5 dates it could be personal reasons that make being exclusive a problem. Family, education, work, stuff she is struggling to manage.
