So tradition only matters when one person benefits?
I've never asked a man out in my life, so if they ask me out, they should pay, if they ask me out again, they should pay, and so on. Why should I , as a woman have to come out of my pocket if they are asking me out?!

But what if you are in a relationship, and you want to go to a certain restaurant with your boyfriend? Do you wait and ask for him to take you?
To me, expecting the man to pay ALWAYS is like the man expecting you to be barefoot and pregnant within a year of meeting. Times have changed. Is it nice to be taken care of? Yes. However I don't find it okay to take advantage of a man. I do offer to pay, and even if he doesn't accept, I know he is pleasantly surprised at the offer.
Cdubs- great idea to take her out to dinner. Let your knees recover and once the nicer weather is here to stay- go out and have fun!

Had a dinner date this evening. He paid for the last dinner, so I treated him this time around. Also, the restaurant was my idea, but I always alternate who pays for each date whenever I'm seeing someone. Just seems fair.
