I think whoever initiates the date pays. If you ask me out, you're taking me out, right? That's obviously true for both men and women. However once you're in a relationship, the man pays. It'll be my treat on special occassions
Whoever initiates pays.. at least, that's always the rule I have done. I've noticed that girls my age generally tend to expect me to pay anyway (which, most of the time, I am more than happy to do so. I don't tend to hang out with girls as much as I used to)
The guy always pays. By saying yes to the date, he is agreeing to take you on a date which means he pays. The only exception I guess would be if a professional woman was dating someone who was struggling and she wanted to go someplace expensive knowing his situation. That or the guy is a Peace Corp volunteer or something.
I was gonna say "You damn rights" and leave it at that but if she asks for a first date, then she should pay or they can split it or he can be really chivalrous and fight her for it . . .
If they just started dating, he should always pay. After that their circumstances would dictate who pays . . . if he can pay, he should, otherwise split it mostly.
Im both old and old school as well I suppose. As I grew up the man always pays, he would be dishonored if he did not. This is not to say the woman gets off free. She has agreed to a date and the expectation regardless of any relationship that may develop later is that she shall be good company on that date regardless of what a slobbering dolt her date might be. Paying might not be so bad when you think about it in terms of traditional roles and the expectations for both parties.
No, of course not. Though if you end up with a more old fashioned, traditional male he may insist on paying the bill. My husband is like this. He very rarely let me pay when we were dating. Think it depends on the person/couple too.
