I made my girlfriend order off the dollar menu. Is she mad?

Question

It was our first date and we went to mcdonalds after a movie. I told her to only order off the dollar menu. She game me a wierd look but listened and did what i told her to do. The next day she was yelling at me and calling me a cheap b*****d. What should I do?

Answer 1

It sounds like she is upset with you. You should have talked to her before you went in to the restaurant and told her that you didn't have a whole lot of money to spend on dinner after paying for the movie(assuming you paid her way in). The way you wrote it it sounds like she may think you are either cheap or bossy and controling.

Answer 2

The Most Annoying Thing To Do Is To Tell Them You Are Taking Them For A Meal And Then Get Something Cheap .

Answer 3

really dude get a job that gives u more money. next time u order off the dollar menu and let her get what she wants

Answer 4

dude id be pretty pissed bro

Answer 5

haha! ok depends wat age u are bt on a first date u shuda gone somewere memorable! shell get over it! treat her 2 sumtin nice! always works ;)!  

Answer 6

The fact that you paid like 30 dollars on a movie she shouldn't be mad. I'm a woman and I do not get mad at my boyfriend when we go to Macdonald's. You want to save money and there is nothing wrong with that. You may have done it the wrong way but you can learn from that. Next time save money take her to a art show or a free outdoor concert. If she complains leave; she was prob. into money anyway.  

Answer 7

Well I was about to yell at you too until I saw that you guys went to movies previously.

Now, I think that she is being a bit high maintenance. If my boyfriend paid for everything at the movies, and then wanted to get things off of the dollar menu at McDonald's, I would be perfectly fine with it and wouldn't fuss..

She's being a bit of a drama queen.

Answer 8

take her to applebees or some other place

Answer 9

A first date..............AT McDONALD'S?!  ROFLMAO

Answer 10

OK dude you have issues NEVER NEVER NEVER do that.im a girl okay, i feel insulted. if i was her i would feel reall p'ed off. And mcdonalds, gross.

Answer 11

wow that really was cheap! mcdonalds is cheap food already but you said only the dollar menu? lol you should have skipped the movie and taken her somewhere better like a place that does have combos! and then take her out for a walk around the park (which is free)!

another thing is you could have mentioned before that you didn't have alot of money to spend. most girls are willing to pay for themselves so she probably wouldn't be mad at you! so i think you should let her know that you didn't plan the date very well and that you are sorry. find a more affordable way to take her out (without looking cheap) and show her a good time. only if she lets you.

you made a bad first impression, its going to be hard to come back from that but i wish you luck!

Answer 12

why did you do that?????????

make it up to her! shes worth more than a dollar isnt she?

Answer 13

you should've atleast saved more money if you knew about that date and took her somwhere nice atleast give her a good impression

Answer 14

did you order off the dollar menu? or just her, that's what i want to know

Answer 15

lol you are a cheap b*****d!  I agree with her but, if you are going to make stipulations like that you should tell her before you are going out to eat that all you can afford is the McDonald's value menu, if that really is all you can afford, because going to the movies does get quite expensive!  

Answer 16

LOL! If you really like this girl you would have planned ahead and made sure you had plenty of money. Not that you have to spend a lot but h**l dude! You want this girl to go out with you and you pull a stunt like this. Did you even pay for her ticket? Dollar Menu? LOL. What should you do? Apologize and swallow your pride if you still have any.

Answer 17

she went easy on you—she only yelled and called you a cheap B. she should've left your butt at mcdonalds when you told her (cant believe you actually TOLD her) that she could only order from the dollar menu. it was BAD enough that you took her there especially on a first date.

Answer 18

if you are very young its understandable. but as you get older i think if you want to date, impress the woman with some place of her choice next time. if you guys have been dating a while and you have explained the financial stress (if there is any) try to make her understand that you cant afford it now. Also if you got money to splurge then do it

Answer 19

well she should have. if my boyfriend told me to order off the dollar menu on our first date. i doubt if we would be together today. tell her your sorry and take her to a better place to eat, and dont give her a spending limit.

Answer 20

I never really had a girlfriend but I would get a lot of money saved and take her on a nice dinner at an expencive resteraunt  

Answer 21

McDonalds is a cheap enough date that restricting her to the dollar menu is just plain insulting. If you ever want to get in anyone's pants EVER, you're going to have to do better than this, buddy.

Answer 22

why not taco bell...they have a .79, .89 .99cent menu.....that would have made her a happy camper!

Answer 23

sad

Answer 24

dang you got problems dude you told her to order off the dollar menu and what should you do tell her sorry then she can dump you you are cheap dude how old are you 10 did you spend all your allowence on candy or a new toy

like i said PROBLEMS

YOU ARE JANKY

Answer 25

i'd be pissed to , but appologize and tell her you were saving to get her somthing nice, get her a gift . or take her out again (:

Answer 26

Maybe you should give her an explanation of why you told her to order of the dollar menu. Wow, that is really pretty cheap of a guy on a first date, if I was her, I would have dump you right then and there. Sorry bucko, you lucky she held out on you.
