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.

you can never leave home without no money at all. even if he bought the tickets you could need the money for a contratemp or whatever. i assume you're like 13 years old

That's why you should always bring your money, just in case something like this happens. You can't depend on anyone but yourself.

Who leaves home without any money at all. YDI and pay for you're own damn ticket. It's too expensive to get treated every date.

Just promise a handjob during the movie; he will pay for your ticket

Think of the last cheesy gangster movie/TV show you saw. Did it ever occur to you that the guys who show up with the suitcase of money at a handoff never hand it over before they've seen the goods? That is, unless they really want to get shot in the face and/or cheated out of their money and whatever drugs/hostage/illegal panda furs they were hoping to acquire. Dates operate on pretty much the same mechanics. You don't pay for the other party's shit unless you know for sure that a game of hide the sausage is happening later on and that it's not just someone getting a free lunch out of your sorry ass.

Considering men used to be obligated to pay because women didn't have/weren't allowed earnings of their own, there's nothing wrong with going dutch. Treating someone while on a date (whether you're male or female) is a nice and often appreciated gesture, but it should never ever be EXPECTED especially to the point where you leave your money at home. As many others have pointed out, what if he split and left you high and dry? Also, remember that prostitutes and escorts get paid for their company, so if you're expecting someone to basically pay for you to be there... what does that make you? Woman up and expect that if you want equality everywhere else, you get equality in the dating world too. Want to go back to the men paying for everything? Then stop working, go home and pop out kids while you make dinner.

My mom always said to bring money just in case something like that happened. FYL

He already asked you out, because let's be honest, you were too chicken to ask him out despite having a crush on him. Now you also expect him to pay for everything? At best, that's cheap and rude; at worst, it's sexist and exploitative. Unless you want the type of relationship where you're married off by your parents for financial reasons, kept at home by your husband, and beaten with a rod every time you disobey him, act like you deserve to be treated as a person and not as property.
