well i agree the guy should always pay, i always did. but that seems to be a topic with some others on here. they really don't care who pays. IMO he's a moron for not paying

If you're literally chasing me for a week to go out with you, then you SHOULD pay

I've paid for my date numerous times so I'm not against that at all

Why did you pay? In a date is either the man pays or half and half... at least the first date

I do not pull my money on first dates. If he asked me out, he pays.

do you discuss it beforehand? like what if the check comes and he's sitting there staring at it doing division in his head? i know you think he's figuring out the tip but really he's figuring how much your appetizer cost.

I like how JustJulia explains it--it's a Host and Guest scenario. If a guy asks you to dinner he's offering to host the evening, which includes paying. If he's not willing to pay, then he should say that at the time of asking. It's not unlike having a dinner party at home and then expecting your guests to provide their own food. If it's a potluck, you need to say that up front.
