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, 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, my Tinder date arranged an Uber to pick her up before we had even finished our appetizers. She was so bored she couldn't be bothered to stay for the whole meal. FML

I feel a little bad for your dates. No one likes to be used for money. Maybe I'm just a little too feminist, but I don't think it's fair that men are expected to pay for all the dates, or all of the date, and I don't think it's fair that some women use men for a free meal ticket. Now, if you genuinely were on a date with him and looking for an honest connection or hook up, then maybe okay? Still, ramen diners cost under a dollar and while not nutritious in the least, at least no one is being used.

Im honestly not sure who to feel bad for - you or your dates. I can relate waiting to getting paid and not really having food in the house, but to use dates for food is sad and hurtful to your date. Mind you, Ive never been on Tinder, and not sure 100% what that is other than guessing its a dating app (site?)

I'm not saying I've never been so poor I've only had fries and Ramen for a month but I've never used anyone without being honest that I was starving and that was my interest. I'm not broke now, but I also don't have anyone that uses me.

Hope you were at least repaying the favour ;) You know what I mean.

Yeah, because having sex with someone is totally an equal payment for a $20 meal. Were you dropped on your head as a child?

Do you have a Food Bank around you or some kind of aid that can help? Its OK to ask for it. Hang in there, feeding off of dates isn't the way to go.

This says a lot about you as a person. And that's not a compliment.

Well most guys are expecting to get lucky. They go on a date and waste time and money in hope something will happen afterwards. OP is in it for the meal, but who knows maybe she's up to pay back in different way If you know what I mean lol!!
