Love, Birthday and Awkward: Where d'you go?!

Where d'you go?!

By Anonymous - 27/09/2009 05:16 - United States

Today, I thought it would be nice to take my girlfriend out to a nice restaurant for my birthday. She got a little headache after we ordered, so she went outside to get some air. I ate a $100 meal and had Happy Birthday sang to me by the restaurant staff. Alone. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out to a fancy restaurant for her birthday. I'd arranged beforehand for some of the staff to come out and sing happy birthday to her, but it all backfired when she started panicking and had a serious anxiety attack from all the attention. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML

Today, my girlfriend decided to treat me out to dinner and cake for my birthday. My mom felt left out and yelled at my girlfriend in an angry tirade. My girlfriend went home. I'm spending my birthday, alone in my room. FML

Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML

Today, it was my girlfriend's birthday, so I decided to take her to a fancy restaurant and give her an expensive $400 necklace that I had bought. Being traditional, I asked the waiter to arrange it nicely on the tray when he came with our dessert. Neither he nor the necklace ever showed up. FML

Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. To celebrate, I spent the day with her and then took her out to a really nice dinner. She is currently giving me the silent treatment because I didn't write "Happy Birthday" on her Facebook wall. FML

Today, my boyfriend came to visit me for my birthday. Over dinner he handed me a blank card that had the words "I love you" hastily written on it. When the waiter came to take our order he informed him that we'd be paying separately. Happy Birthday. FML

Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML

Today, I treated my friends to lunch at a posh restaurant because it's my birthday. While we were walking leisurely around the mall afterwards, their boyfriends showed up. I spent the next few hours walking alone behind them while they were walking hand in hand with their boyfriends. FML

You didn't cancel the order and take your girlfriend home instead due to her not feeling too well?

and you didn't go outside to see if she was okay and see why she was out there so long? and bring her back in?

I think OP meant that his gf was faking the headache, and used it as an excuse to leave the restaurant and ditch him. Clearly she's a bitch, or OP thinks he has a girlfriend and doesn't really. You should really find a nicer gf, I would never leave a fancy restaurant, especially on my bf's bday.

She probably told you she "had a headache" well in advance of the "after dinner activities" just so you would know that you wouldn't be getting anything for your efforts. Or she could be pregnant.

its just a bday. my prediction is you will not be happy with this chic if it was just "a little" headache.

You left her outside with a headache? By the way, why isn't she taking you to dinner?

So lemme get this straight, instead of going with her, which could have resulted in certain favors ;), you sit inside and let her deal with pain by herself. Way to be a good boyfriend. She's probably gonna leave you...

My thoughts exactly. Except for the favors. Ya don't think of that when someone is sick. But it certainly would be a bonding experience. Either cancel the order or have it carry out. Restaurants deal with this sorta stuff all the time. Esp "nice' ones. The OP is a self-centered douche that doesn't deserve anyone, much less anyone buying him a dinner.
