I wait for them to express interest in me. After that, I have no problem footing the bills. I've never had a girlfriend that had an actual job. I'm her job.
You are her job? Really - are you that much work to be around?
When I was single and dating I always paid. I suppose I was taught that if you extend an invitation then you get to choose the venue but you are obliged to pick up the tab. Most of the time I didn't spend huge amounts on dinners, etc. but I certainly went on my dates at nice, pleasant places. A few time the gal offered to pay part of the tab; I invariably thanked them but gently declined.
Only date rich desperate women, and this will never be a problem.
LOL!
Many things are cheap- biking, hiking, a play (theater) at a small house, and there are plenty of inexpensive places to get a good meal that aren't fast food.
Here is what my husband says:
As a man, you need to show your woman/date that you are able to provide for them, by paying for the date. If you cannot afford a dinner and movie, get a better job ya` bum!
My husband made that comment. I was just typing what he said... LOL
What, is this the 1930's? Do guys court women anymore? When I date I am looking for a good time and potential girlfriend--not a wife. I could care less if she thinks that I could provide for her or not. I am not a sugar daddy.
a man is expected to pay always for everything
a woman is expected to look good
Well, if you refer to me, I meant the first few dates. Once a relationship is established, of course expenses are shared.

so can I logically conclude that if a woman doesn't look good (i.e. she is fat or ugly) then a man should not pay?
Umm... I dunno... Do you? I'm sure most women spend quite a bit in order to look as good as Mother Nature allows, of course. A case can be made that those Mother Nature wasn't very generous to probably spend even more.
If I ask, then I pay. If the woman asks, then she pays. Sorry ladies, you wanted equal rights, now you got it . By the third date what ever goes.
I'm sure your dating expenses are under control.
