Are you youngsters STILL arguing about this?
I remember the same discussions back in the 70's...... Personally, if a man invites me out for a meal, he can pay. (and for my husband, too! ) |

I'd say first date both pay equal shares, than alternate. I'm not comfortable letting a guy pay when I might choose to never see him again. I'd feel too bad saying no to a second date if the guy paid everything.
Re-read that - let's make it clearer, shall we? No I'm not that easy, I will say no if I want to say no, but it bugs me less if I don't feel I owe him something. Better? |

After that it depends - kind of whoever does the inviting or taking it in turns, or sharing expenses (eg you pay for tickets I'll pay for drinks) or whatever. This does avoid the feeling that someone is paying for you to spend time with them, but also seems only fair to me, as if we both have jobs, why not both contribute? I would certainly never assume that someone else would always pay for me. Also, if they offer then I don't want someone I like to think I'm taking advantage. I always think that if I enjoy being taken out sometimes, then other people will enjoy it if I do that for them! |

Ok, maybe I did not elaborate sufficiently, it is not expected of men to pay, it is nice and women do like it. We are more conscious of the fact that the times have changed and how hoard money is earned. We do offer to pay and sometimes its taken and sometimes its not. When it is expected that the girl chips in that's when its a turn off, same way when the girl stands to go to the ladies room the minute she spies the check coming. There is something nostalgic, chivalrous and romantic when a guy says "Don't worry about it babe, I'm taking care of it."
