Why should a man pay for someone that he could develop a romantic interest in?
Why should a woman not pay for someone that she could develop a romantic interest in?
You don't get it do you? It's not whether the man or woman should pay for the date but whoever asks out. If I ask him out, I'll pay. If he does, then that's on him.

If it's a friend, then we each pay our own tickets. If it's a date, then whoever did the asking pays... unless the other person wants to help out (but he/she isn't obligated to).
Of course there aren't only two extreme positions, I'm just trying to make it easy.
What if you're sitting at dinner, the bill comes and she does nothing? Do you ask her to pay? Do you send her a bill for her half? Do you pay, but be passive aggressive about it?
I'm honestly curious.
I'd pay but the next date would be at:
Denny's
Waffle House
IHOP
Somewhere in the hood.
After I see the look on her face ( why are we pulling up to Taco Bell), after the date, I'd probably tell her the place I would've taken her ( ) if she was as invested in this as I was and at least offered.
That's if there would be a second date, which would be up to her. I'd just have fun with it.

What about the nature of the relationship changes who should pay?
Why if it's a romantic relationship should the asker pay?
Why is it different for non-romantic relationships?

What kind of women are you dating? You want to take her to Taco Bell and say, "You could have had the lobster if you were more worthy.. play your cards right and you might get one next time"???? lolololol... and this works?
Most not all....but most of the women that have responded negatively to this thread have COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT.
It is the GESTURE of offering to pay that is MOST IMPORTANT. 98% of men will NEVER ALLOW you to pay.
If you happen to be a woman that has is dating a guy you really WANT TO IMPRESS ......pay for the first date.
If everything is going great in your dating life than ignore this advice completely.
No respectable man wants to waste his time with a selfish unthoughtful woman.
NOT OFFERING to pay within the first three dates usually puts you in the selfish category.
Men please correct me if I am wrong.
Where are these men, because 100% of the men I've dated have happily let me pay my share (except one coffee date where he grabbed my coffee before I actually got there) or the entire date and never had a problem with it.
And it's never helped me dating wise when I paid for the first date, nobody has seemed impressed and I'm lucky if I get a thank you.

I have a weird feeling all of these 'rules' would go out the window if they woman was hot enough or if you liked her company enough to want to 'impress' her. These rules seem to be for women they are luke warm about or just aren't that interested in.
