I NEVER ask though. I look at her reaction when check time comes. Some will look at me expectedly. If that's the case and I like them, then I pay. If I don't care for them, then I won't pay for them and I'm very clear about that.

Many times though, they'll just take out money and pay (who am I to stop them?). Some women have even paid for me. I support it.

A gentleman would NEVER ask or expect a lady to pay...EVER.

Glad I'm not the "gentlemen" type, because that would make me seem like a sucker.

Feel free to be whomever you so desire and date the type of women who will oblige...but do not expect a "lady" to pay for your date.

Dating can be fun. At the same time, it can be exhausting.

I don't date if I can get away with it.

Guy is a social worker. Lady is a doctor. It's L.A. Assuming she would even go out with him (doubtful), who pays for the first date? Probably the guy. Who pays for subsequent dates? It's up in the air. Who pays for most of the household expenses should they shack up? The lady.

Fair enough?

You sound like a "Dr. Laura" listener. I think she holds your viewpoint ... and she yaps over the airwaves from L.A. Interestingly enough, she preaches some pretty strict morals ... and then was found to have posed nude for some dude when in college or grad school.

(le sigh...le sigh)

The guy who is a social worker would therefore need to be creative enough to court the lady doctor in a manner that is both entertaining and friendly to his wallet.

It really is not about the amount of money that a man spends but the care/thoughtplanning behind his efforts. When will some of you guys ever learn this important fact?

LOL

It's 2013, babe. Women paying for dates happens far more than you would think.

Unless the girl is already proven to be awesome, I'm not paying for the date. Does this stop me from getting dates? No. I get many (and this includes second, third dates, etc).

Your selling yourself to the other person trying to get them to take an intrest in you. They are more of less interviewing you to see if your worth a second date & who knows after that.

Darling, please feel free to date all of the barflies, fattiwatties, fugawugas and desperados that your little heart desires.

I really could care less what other women do. However, I do know that men of quality always treat ladies with respect....even in 2013.
