Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML

Contrary to popular belief it's ignorant to be so confident in this "rule" that you don't bring your own money, I believe it was totally deserved in this case. This doesn't mean I don't believe the guy should pay though so don't get confused.

Good grief, YDI! I get that, because he asked you out, you think he should pay, but while he did the asking, you did the accepting. Never just assume someone will pay your way, even on a date.

What a strange thing to assume (unless the person was a French speaker, since for them 'invite' does seem to imply an offer to pay.) Even if he'd said he'd pay (including paying for whatever snacks you wanted during the movie), it's weird to go anywhere without any wallet at all; what if you discovered needed a bus or cab or gas or tampons, or you saw something you needed/wanted to buy on the way home?

You know what they say about assume.. It makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me"

Hate to say it but good for him. Nice guys finish last.

You are a disgrace. When a man offers to pay it is a very lovely gesture indeed, but EXPECTING him to pay is not right. At least he found out quickly that you're a money-grabber.

Well sadly, things don't get done like they use to. It makes since why you would assume as such but next time just ask or bring money incase. While on a date I think the one asking out the other should pay, keep a little oldfashion in the world... it just doesn't work like that anymore.

Clearly chivalry means nothing anymore. People these days just disappoint me.

Are you a medieval knight who would like to defend the Church, believe in nothing but the Church, and show no mercy to any infidels (ie people of other religions)? Do you wish to engage in courtly love, meaning flirting with another lover while you're married? Do you idealize the valor, tactics, and morals of the Roman Empire? If you answered "yes" to most of these things, congratulations, you're mostly obeying the code of chivalry!
