Heck, even if we weren't that serious about each other, and the other person was a keen traveller and had a decent reason why she couldn't afford to chip in, I'd pitch in a few hundred dollars, since I love travelling myself and it's always good to have a travel companion.
At 3 months, I think the cost of a long weekend somewhere not too far away (driving distance) is fine. Save spending big bucks on a longer, far away vacation for after you're dating for a little longer.
for someone you've been dating only 3 months? Assume the other person cannot afford to contribute anything. Question is open to both men and women.
Good question.
Back when I was dating Mrs. Lao, I think we were a few months into our relationship when I put together our first "vacation". It was 6 days at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas that included spa treatments/masages each day, the "O" Cirque du Soleil show and a few other vegas things. It was NOT cheap. But it, and she was well worth it.
I think you need to ask yourself if the chick you plan on taking is worth it.
When I was being certified to scuba dive, MrsCPG went along. We'd only been dating for two months. I paid for the hotel and the meals. She sat on the beach while I did my dives. Of course, we took her new convertible, so it all evened out.
Hey! It's normal for men to do those things for a woman. You guys are still together, cool! But it is normally not recommended for men to do those things so early just like women are not recommended to have sex so early either.
Yeah, I guess we both "screwed up" since I slept with him on the first date and he took me away on a vacation so soon.

All over. Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and plenty of rural areas.

Interesting to note that most people would refrain from even dropping a small amount to take someone with them that they have been dating several months and are in a relationship with and would rather go solo. If you wouldn't miss having them with you after several months of dating then isn't that a red flag in itself?

Hard to say, given how different relationships can be at that stage, some very casual, some, more serious.
My SO and I went away last fall, had been dating about 9 months. Trip was $2500. It was my idea, I had $2,000 in my budget, and really wanted to enjoy the time away with him. He didn't have $1250 for his ticket, so I paid the $750 he couldn't afford, and it was worth every penny to me.

As much as I could afford.... to have a wonderful and memorable time...there'd be no scrimping when it's all about sharing..... enjoying each others company, and having some fun.....my mates financial status would not deter me in the least....and why should it?
