I know that most of the time the guy should pay for the date. But is it important for a girl to offer? When should a girl pick up the tab? Please advise.

I'm with Jarett, It's a sick tradition that a man is expected to still pay for the meal even though women are very much part of the work force but, I'm okay with men paying for the First few dates.

She should definitely offer, I usually just let her cover the tip.

It would be great if women actually thought going 50/50 on the meal but from the many girls who are offered dates from a lot of guys, they say if the guy doesn't pay, he doesn't play no matter what.

Sick huh?

Well I would think that it is important for a girl to offer to pay for her own half. But if the guy allows you to pay for half, then I wouldn't be looking for a 2nd date. A guy should always pay for the first couple dates. After that, I would imagine the girl pick up one of the tabs. But I am not an "expert" on dating, so I don't know. But as far as the first date, the guy should pay, no questions asked, especially if he invites you. But if you make an offer to pay for your half, then it makes you not look like you're a gold digger, so to speak.

Ah, the male ego . If it's a first date and the guy asked you out, he will expect and even want to pay, and I think you should let him do it . Otherwise, it depends . Who asked whom ? How much did the date cost ? Oh, and who has more money to pay for dates ? I mean, if you are a banker and he is a starving artist or something, he will probably resent it if you never offer to pay . On the other hand, if you always offer to pay, he will feel emasculated . Sigh . The best thing is probably to talk about it on the second or third date, and agree to whatever works for you . But, again, on the first date, let him pay, and give him a sweet smile and a thank you -- that's what most guys seem to want, in my experience .

I personally think whoever asked for the date should pay. I don't really think it's fair that if the woman asks the man on a date, that he still has to pay for it. Just my opinion though.

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?
random-ren asked 10 days ago

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

What's there to be annoyed about?

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
Um. We would go out to eat and just drive around. First dates are really important. I just want to talk to the guy and see what he likes and doesn't like and things like that. I don't really care where we go as long as we get to talk. It depends on what we do to know what I would wear. Hiking.,shorts hiking boots shades a hat and t shirt. How would it end? Well it depends on how the date

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
He would know pretty much all that he asked. I'm not too shy lol

Would you date me?
