I prefer to just go dutch, after all, the way things are now, a man thinks a woman is his "ho" after he buys her a few dinners. Sorry, that is not the type of woman I am. If I were to date now, I would rather just pay for my own food and drinks, because I feel like men expect booty after spending...
I had a friend, who went to Europe with a man, he paid for everything, and gave her spending money, then, she was outraged that he expected her to sleep with him. She said she thought that they were going as "friends"?!
Maybe you are dating the wrong men. Because if I feel a men expects boote... he does not get another date.
Now, I would not take a trip to Europe. That is a different story. No one takes you to europe just because LOL
If I invite a person to my house or a restaurant, i personally want my guest to eat and drink as much as they want. I can not count food.
Generosity is not only money. Time as well, and attitude. My dad started very poor. When I was born , I slept in a little box he made, because he did not have money to buy a crib However my dad is the most generous man I have ever meet. With me, my family and all his friends.
Generosity is not telling your guests how painful is for you to spend money on them... if it so painful do not ask people out. If you have a guest, proper etiquette is to make that person feel you are honored by their presence.
Any references to money on an invitation is poor manners.
Yes but with the OP's situation, we don't know who suggested that particular date. I think it was a date to a museum, maybe she made the suggestion of that particular place and so he just asked if she was paying.
If a woman makes plans for something in particular, then it's only fair that the guy clarify who is paying.
Like one woman once said - she's fed up with guys who take her out for a cheap hamburger and then expect a good night with her in their bed - she says she's worth at least a good steak dinner and a movie.
WHY? If I keep getting invitation I will keep going.
And btw I have gone out with the guy from yesterday many time and sex has never even been a topic in the conversation
If a guy continues to take you out on dates for which he foots the entire bill without you putting out at all, either
a) he is spectacularly wealthy and you are spectacularly entertaining (and both of these being the case is spectacularly unlikely)
or
b) he really, really likes you, and stringing along a guy who feels so strongly about you for some free events/meals is really low (if you like him too but just are really slow to have sex in relationships in general that's okay, but, if you're just taking advantage of him, you are doing a lot of emotional harm -- and screw the money, that's the damage you're doing here -- for a bit of cash / cash-equivalents).

If that is really what the guy wants, then he should just pay a hooker. No need to date at all.
