So I'm going on 5th date with a guy. It's my birthday and I want him to come down to my town to have dinner.
Since it's my bday I want to go to a resteranut that is nice. ( that's also my bday tradition).
So here's the dilemma.
1. I don't want him to pay since its a resteranut I want to go and the bill could be $150 and up.
2. I don't mind paying but doesn't want to make him feel like I try to "buy" him over or impress him.
3. We never splitted the bill on previous dates. We take turns to pay. Splitting bills feels awkward to me.
If it was a run of the mill type place, I would pay for my dates dinner since it's her bday and all. But me going to another town, then dropping up to $150+ tip! You do the paying. $40 or less, I'll pay. That's just me. Maybe he'll be happy to treat you to dinner.
I agree with Dewdrop, just tell him you have chosen this particular place because it is your birthday and it is your treat since he is sweet enough to drive so far to celebrate with you.
I hope you have a wonderful date.

Any suggestions?
Tell him you don't want him to pay and that you, "got it," but if he insists on paying (because it's your birthday), then let him. You can pay for the next dinner bill.
[or pay him back in another way if you know what I mean...]
Just tell him you want to live it up on your birthday by going to a nice restaurant - and it's your treat!
BINGO. Not only that, but you'll get browny points.
