Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML

Today, I was on a date with a guy I've been crushing on. In the middle of the dinner, he said he had to go get something from his car. When I asked what it was, he smiled and said it was a surprise. I waited for my surprise for half an hour. Then I decided to pay the bill and go home and cry. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML

Jumping the gun

Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date to an expensive restaurant. After the meal, he got down on his knee and proposed. We've only been dating for two weeks, so I said no. He just silently kept staring me in the eyes, no matter what I said or did. I ended up having to walk home. FML

Today, I spent three hours getting ready to go out to lunch with my boyfriend, only to find out he meant we're going to the McDonald's inside Wal-Mart so he can also pick up condoms. FML

Today, it's my 8 year anniversary. My boyfriend's "romantic" gesture for the occasion was to toss a few McDonald's coupons at me and tell me to get whatever I wanted. FML

Today, I surprised my boyfriend with lunch at work. He surprised me too, when I caught him making out with one of his coworkers. FML

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

I would SO do that! Except it would be on purpose, with my friends, & girls in tuxes w/ guys in fancy dresses. (yea, we're weird like that XD)

Its an FML not as much because its embarrassing but because he led her to think they were going somewhere nice and fancy and she was let down. I would be aggravated and that is something like my ex would have done

he never SAID that they were going somewhere fancy, he simply said to dress well

THIS! If OP's boyfriend said something about "going somewhere fancy" and was dead serious about it I'd be so pissed that I wasted time dressing up. If McDonald's was substituted for a park or hell, even a movie theater, this wouldn't be so bad. I'd rather risk getting the runs and go to Taco Bell than McDonald's.

I think I would be upset about this. I don't necessarily have to go to an expensive restaurant. However, if I'm dressing up I expect to go to a place a step above Mcdonald's.

Wow. You people are stupid. I would think it was funny if my boyfriend did this to me, except he would be taking me to kfc instead. xD
