The reason for this poll is that it just amazes me how many people believe that the male is SUPPOSED to pay for dates. If he does not he is usually seen as a cheap A$$ho!3. Why cant things be equal? I am all in favor of equality of the sexes but in this matter it never seems to be the case. I think the bills should always be split. Is it because it has always been like that? Is it in the bible? Just because it has always been that way does not make it right. What makes the guy responsible to pay for the bill?
(By the way, I always pay for my dates, not because I believe is right, but because not doing or suggesting a split bill could bring a lot of unpleasantness to the situation.)
Even if it was the female who did the asking? So, you are saying that if a girl asks you out to a first date you would be expecting her to pay the bill? Just like that?

Unless she asks you to go dutch, and you agree, yes.
The man should ALWAYS pay for the first date. And even the second date. Life is not always fair, be a man and suck it up. That said 3rd dates and beyond can be a little more even, depending upon the relationship.
I was taught that it's common courtesy that whoever does the asking should pay. I would probably never ask a guy out on a first date, but if I did, it's only correct that I got the check or at the very least, offer- I was the one who invited after all.

I know this. I deal with it. I always pay for my dates. The point of this thread is for people to discus why they think the way they do not if I deal with it or not.
