Whoever asks should expect to pay for the evening. Some guests might object and try to make other arrangements, but that's between the two of them. The person who asks is the host, and person who is asked is the guest, whether it's to the movies or a home-cooked meal.

Women should always pay the tab. Likely the woman makes more and has a higher education thus can afford it more than the poor guy. Just because she is paying however does not mean the guy is obligated to do anything like provide sex afterwards. Some women think you owe them the moon for paying for a lousy meal.

Once and a while the guy can pay if its a special occasion. Anniversary, Birthday.. that sorta thing.

NO..If the woman asks the man, then she should pay, whats wrong with a woman paying, I would question if I was a man and a woman asked me out and accepted me to pay??
Its called sharing and you do for each other..
Woman should and can pay too.

He pays 100% of the time. Then again I have never asked a guy out on a date. If he's interested in you, he'll ask. Sounds desperate.

Every date should be split 50/50 no matter who asks. Expecting a man to pay is disgusting in my opinion. It sets a woman up for the expectation she'll put out for the cost of a meal.

Even if I ask you out, the man should at least offer to pay. I've said this before that I have no problem paying and a lot of guys are flattered by it. Keeps things fun..

Um no.

My husband never expected me to "put out" to earn my meal. That's disgusting.
