You didn't.
And if he WAS NOT interested he wouldn’t be going out with her. When girls ask me out I don’t care if they took the initiative, I will still contribute to dating expenses and when I ask them out they also contribute to expenses. It’s OUR date, nobody is twisting our arms to go there. I guess it is different in the west where it is sort of a taboo for women to contribute to dating expenses.

Simply Be Prepared. Unless she brings it up don't make an issue over it.

Take your cash and wait to see if she reaches for the check first.

If not. Then you pay.

Interesting to see women say that the guy still has to offer, still has to pay, still has to take money just in case, etc. when in other threads women say that a man should pay (since he's the one who asked), no questions asked, and if he dares himself to accept a woman to contribute to expenses, he’s no good.

For the person who started the thread, how nice of a woman to do something quite unusual. Enjoy each other's company and whatever activities you do.

I think it is always polite to offer to pay or offer to spilt the bill - no matter who asks who out. If she says she wants to pay - let her, if you are comfortable with that. Or offer to pay the tip. Or if the date goes well - offer to take her out for drinks or dessert afterwards!

I think if the date goes well - this probably won't even be an issue. Have fun!

Yes, it's polite to offer (regardless of who asked who) and even more polite to not make drama if the person accepts the offer.

I didn't know women asked out men. I mean of course they can if they choose, but I have never been asked out and have never heard of other men being asked out by a women. It just doesn't seem right.

You know what people are saying that? Other guys.

The women aren't.

If she wants to pay, let her.

You deserve a treat, too.

p.s. If you order the lobster, you have to put out.
Bingo!!!
