Today, I went out on a first date. He insisted we go to McDonald's and split a Happy Meal because he "didn't want to waste any money on a first date." FML

Wow how cheap can you be to split a happy meal and not a big mac meal?

If you split a happy meal does that make you half happy?

If he is cheap, he better be smart too. That happy meal money could've bought you guys: 1 value drink, 2 cheeseburgers, & 2 value fries... Drop him now OP unless he really made you "happy" like your name says.

I hope you told him he could have the entire meal, because you decided to not waste your time on a first date.

Wow, I hope that's a first and last date!

So what you nay saying girls are actually saying is that he has to spend a lot of money on you for you to be interested? Even though every guy knows that girls will often go on first dates with guys they have no interest in just for a free night out

There's a difference between a person that doesn't spend a lot in the first date, and a person that splits a friggen happy meal at McDonald's. if you're going to ask someone to go on a date, then putting effort in to making it a nice date shows that you actually have interest in the relationship. Hell, just having a coffee together at a quiet cafe would be a nicer date and cheap to boot.

I can understand that. Maybe said guy has been used several times, got tired of it, and wanted to see how much she was interested in him over what he can buy her. I've known many girls who were open about going out with guys just to feel better about themselves and get a free night out of it. Ladies, if you want a nice night out, maybe you should pay every once in a while to show you're not just using us

It's not about money. U can tell that he doesn't value her at all. Museums have free days, parks and docks are free, coffee house dates can be less than $10. He just didn't put any effort into the date and openly said he isn't interested by saying he doesn't kno if theres a second date. He already knows he doesn't want one otherwise he wouldn't want to mess up his chances up by saying that they share a happy meal.

If women don't put out on the first date why should we?

I'm a dude, and I'm thumbing this comment down out of principle.

But he has a point?... err, NO! Women are not ******! There's a minimum 3 date process before the girl can give up da pussy without being considered a ****.

So, if she put out... He should have bought a better meal???? And she is a ****? But if she didn't put out, she is a classy bitch and deserves better than 1/2 the child's meal Mc Ds? Which one is it? Double standards it sounds like to me!

if you were eating inside of mcdonalds just say that you need to use the restroom and just f'n leave OP.

I'm guessing he doesn't get many second dates....
