Mod note, March 22 @ 8:43 a.m. CDT: People, please don't turn this thread into a gender-bashing mess. I've already deleted two posts to that end. any more bashing will cause the thread to be shut down. Just don't do it!

When I was single and dating, I always paid my way on dates, or attempted to.

If I do the asking, I fully expect to do the paying on the first date. If he asks... I offer to pay for myself.

No. The exception being if I am sure there will be no 2nd date. In those cases, I always offer to pay.

If I were single and dating, I'd probably ask a guy out and pay. Most men my age wouldn't let me, but if he were light-hearted and a good sport, he'd go along with it.

My husband lets me pay for some of our dates. He likes the role reversal.

When I was looking for someone and dating from online I always offered. Only a few men took me up on the offer and we never dated again (not because of me paying, there was just no mutual interest they didn't contact me or me them. I think the reason they took me up on the offer is because they knew it wasn't going anywhere and they didn't want to be out the money. That was fine by me).

Every man who was truly interested in me never let me pay. My current boyfriend never lets me pay for anything. Even when I buy movie tickets or something he always insists on paying me back. I used to try, but I don't anymore. He makes a lot more money than I do and he seems to enjoy paying for things.

I would pay if I was the one asking for the date.
