If you enjoy courting her, you don't have to place a time frame on how long it lasts. It can last forever, if you want it too. I also enjoy paying for everything, and opening doors etc...For me gift giving is saved for occasions, or when she in need of being cheered up...showering I never do, I got to save something to use when I F-up
Anyways, when my SO and I were "courting" he always paid for dates. Now that we are officially dating, he still pays for dates.
There was one time when we had split up, and he offered to pay for our casual outings together to work on things, but I decided this was the time when we should split our fare and I'd pay my own way.
Other than that..when we're together, he always pays. He's french & caribbean, if that matters.
I have actually dated men from different countries in Europe. Which country are you actually from? Europe is a diverse continent.
I admire this comment, very intelligent by the way and I am not being sarcastic, at least someone here understands that Europe is a continent and not a country, here however when people say America it is automatically assumed we are talking about the US, when America is also a diverse continent, but oh well.
We have so very many of these "how long" questions. How long until we should have the talk about where it is going. How long should I wait until we have sex. How long should I court the woman. How long blah blah blah...
Isn't it obvious that there isn't one answer? There is no answer. One size doesn't fit all, the relationship will evolve as it does and going with the flow is where the joy is. Each person and each connection with a new person is a unique event. That is why connections are so awesome. They're all new.
Hey now, I only asked my question in my post to start a conversation
Really? I always assumed that American men are a lot more gentleman-like and chivalrous than what I'm used to.
It annoys me to no end when people equate being a gentleman or being chivalrous with how much cash you're willing to spend on the person you're dating. Paying for all of the dates in itself has nothing to do with being a gentleman. It simply means that you get off on being the provider in the relationship. If it works out for you, then great, go for it. But don't go mixing the two things together.

I think being a Gentleman and being Chivalrous do go together. I think a man who is a real Gentleman is typically Old Fashioned and Chivalrous as well.

You missed the point...that isn't what Jzer was saying at all.
