I'm sorry op. But maybe he's saving up to buy you something?
I think it's ungrateful to use the money for something other than its intended purpose. If the money was a gift meant for a nice dinner for OP and her boyfriend, then that is what it should have been used for.
Yeah I'm going to bet on the fact that OP's boyfriend intended to keep the money to buy something nice for himself.
Tell him to get a job or gtfo cheap bf's only lead to trouble
I think it just looks like the OP needs a new bf, if he values a few dollars more than his gf being happy, then he doesnt deserve you
Can't blame the kid, probably needed it for gta 5.
Living by the "fu** bitches get money" motto
Guys...I save the money I have leftover that my mom gives me to get things for my boyfriend...(can't say what I'm saving for now because he might see this) Don't always assume the worst =P
yes but there is a difference between having a hundred bucks and spending it on a 70 dollar meal and keeping the 30 left over, and buying a 20 dollar mean AND splitting the cost. Id assume the worst.
He doesn't deserve you, in that case.

Show it anywaySo you're saying that a real man would spend all his money on his gf? What if I don't have money at the moment, are you saying I shouldn't have a gf either?
Dude here was given a load of cash for that purpouse, he failed to do so so he is an ass. This is the difference.
11. Fallacy in your argument. Spoiling does not require spending of money. He could shower her with attention. He could treat her like a princess. He could pay attention to her needs and wants and try his best to accommodate them. However, if money was provided with the express purpose of spoiling your girlfriend, it should be used as such. And a person who uses the money differently... well... my guess is he also would not do any of the above.
He never said ALL he just said a real man should spoil his girl to the best of his ability. Obviously if you don't have money there's so many other ways to spoil a girl.
12 I get your point, and it would have been one thing if he at least bought her a 30$ meal and kept the rest. But instead he lied (gave no credit to his dad), brought her to a cheap-ish place, and didn't even offer to pay the (probably) 6-7 dollars her half cost. He was given 100 for a meal, he didn't have to be so cheap.
It was actually £100. Last tu me I checked that was closer to $250....
I know math is really hard and stuff, but check your arithmetic, friend. 1 pound sterling is $1.62. Last I checked, that makes it $162.
There's not really a problem with that unless it's all the time. Maybe the dad thinks op is good for her boyfriend, and is trying to make sure she sticks with him, even though he's botching it
Well maybe he wants to spend it on something else. It's not really your decision to make, though it's still kinda douchy of him when his dad "gave him the money to take you out"
And she obviously didn't mind the meal until she found out his dad gave him more money. Why is it his fault he doesn't want to spend that much on you? There's probably a decent reason...
The whole point was TO SPEND THE MONEY ON HER. I'd be pretty pissed if my boyfriend was such a cheap ass that he couldn't even spend money that SOMEONE ELSE GAVE HIM to buy me a nice meal. Especially, if I had to pay for half of it. That is just selfish on his part.
You sound like a douche. I'm glad I don't date you.
Also, there probably isn't "a decent reason" other than the fact that he sounds like a selfish cheapskate.
I think it's more the fact that he lied. Basically his father gave 100 dollars for them to share a meal, so he "gave" OP 50. Instead her bf lied (gave no credit to the father), and didn't even offer to pay her half. I'm not saying a guy always has to pay for the girl, but if someone gave him 100$ specifically for that, he can at least spend 6-7 bucks.
Find out whether the dad is single or not. If he isn't, then you can set your boyfriend up with his mother, so that the parents get a divorce. You can then go for the father and if everything works out, then you can see a therapist together and yell "THE ARISTOCRATS!" at him.
I guess you haven't heard of that joke before? It's a long-running gag used by a bunch of stand-up-comedians, highly inappropriate for all audiences. [Mine was pretty much a "hello kitty" version compared to the original.] If you're still curious about it, Gilbert Gottfried delivers a good version of it. [Just google "The Aristocrats", maybe add Gottfried's name if you want to hear the specific version of it.]
the pocketing of the money doesn't disgust me, its the choosing to go to pizza hut
I like pizza hut. It's pizza, what's not to like?
#8 - What disgusts me most, is that HE ******* SPLIT THE BILL FOR ******* PIZZA HUT. It's as if he went out of his way to make sure he covered all bases in being a scumbag (reasoning: receive $100 to take her out. Instead, pocket it, and make her pay for half of what was most likely $8-$15).
Edit: Please excuse my total lack of consideration for culture. I disregarded the fact that this was the U.K., so the cost of Pizza Hut may be different, and I blew right past the "pounds" symbol. However, I still stand by my point.
Yeah, between £9 and £15 for a pizza....

It's even worse that his dad gave him the money instead of him using his own
I'm sorry op. But maybe he's saving up to buy you something?
