I was raised that the man pays, and it makes me feel uncomfortable not to pay. I like it when a girl offers to pay, but I feel paying for a date is my responsibility. I've had girlfriends that have paid for a date when they have invited me, and although I always accepted graciously, I'd still prefer to pay.

I probably paid for 9 out of 10 dates with the last girl I was dating. However, she cooked 9 out 10 meals that we had at home. (I don't cook very well, unless you want tacos.)
