The op thinks it's fair to pay but hasn't made an effort. Why would something be 'off' about it if she fundamentally agrees? And all of a sudden, she's worried about the price? Did she do that before she knew she might have to chip in? The op should stop saying she's ok with paying when clearly she isn't and is supported by CarolVa1977's viewpoint that a man who doesn't pay isn't worth seeing.
The fact that he asked her to pay, is what I don't like. If she wanted to pay, she can offer. They've been dating only a month, big whoop...that says nothing about how much money anyone has spent. She's a student and he has a job. That just makes it even worse. I don't recall...where did she say she was worried about "the price"? Asking the other person to pay, I think, is bad form. That's my opinion. Period.
HAHA...It's common knowledge that Carol's a smoking hottie. Too bad OP isn't. *SIGHS* Men are shallow bastards.
I am not honey but flowers do not chase bees. Or pay. my dating card is full for this weekend. Too bad those poor men are going to take me out in this wonderful weather
If I am marrying the man, I will pay 50/50 but men that are asking me out NO i will not.
Because they are the ones doing the asking. I personally get a lot of dates (can not go to all of them due the University load and work)
And if a man bluntly tells me in the beginning of the date that even though he asked me I have to pay, I will not go, because I do not chase men and I do not initiate dates.
Those men can always take the choice not to call me. But for some reason they do.
I agree that if a man offers to take you out, he should pay, and certainly vise versa. I might be way off, but it sounds like you wouldn't contribute much as far as dating ideas at the very least or at most an offer to pay after you've been out on a series of dates with the same person. That's where I think there is a lack of concern and lot of entitlement. Watching a man empty his wallet on you and acting like you're deserving simply because what's between your legs is an "inny" and not an "outty" is what I have an issue with. If you're interested enough in the person during the dating phase, would you be willing to contribute anything, or does there have to be a promise of something long term in order for you to feel the need?

There is a lack of concern as I personally do not want any type of relationship with any of these men. Nor do I have sex with them (ewww). So if they want to see me , oh well. If not, I never ask a man out.
If I am really interested in a man, yes eventually I would contribute. But if I am not...then no.
