    Good points, I always expect to pay for myself but if someone offers to pay for me I wouldn't fight with them over who's paying.

    Refusing to pay, done in the right way, certainly would do number 5.

    Though it's hard... best way to not pay for a date is make a free date, or something that will only cost a few bucks, haha. And girls wonder why guys ask them out to coffee instead of buying them lunch or dinner, lmao.

      Well a date means your going out with a man you are interesting in, not a freebee

      Your don't have to pay for yourself, you could for him too

      Be creative. So typical for guys to cover the bill, sort of gets Boring now

    There is never a situation in which the guy shouldn't pay for a date, even if the date is for her and another guy. I know that probably sounds ridiculous, but that's what I enjoy doing when I'm serving a beautiful woman.

    Yeah I was just thinking that. Like why pay for something if your not sure it going to work out. Especially if the girl doesn't think its going to work. If she isn't planning on dating. Why make you pay?

    I think that at the first date you should split the bill and after that you just decide together who pays at the second date and who at the third! You should pay the equally the times you go out :)

    The guy should pay for the date especially the first one just saying, but from there on out the girl can pick up the tab here and there also. Some men actually like paying, even more if you're only doing dinner for the night.

    I don't think that only men should pay for a meal.
    When I am in a relationship I like to have it 50 50 %.
    But usually men are the ones, who want to pay and don"t let us women..

    I think for the first date the guy should pay. Then for some of those afterwards the girl can pick up the tab. I usually go by if you wanted it you pay.

    This is why my GF and I pay half-half each time we go out.

    We chose to cook a meal at home on Valentine's, which we paid half-half for.

    We're similar in the sense that we feel bad when someone pays the full price.

    lol @ #1. I will not date homeless women that weigh 67 pounds just so I can avoid giving someone a free meal. #5 is ridiculous as well. If I want to "look like the boss" I just punch whiny fuckers in the mouth.

    I would like to pay for my own food and would like him to do the same. But yeah, sometimes I would like to spend some money on him, and if he wants to do the same willingly, then no worries!

      Refusing to pay does not make you look like a boss. Explaining that you are willing to either split the bill 50/50 or pay for your own meal and she pay for hers the better way of dealing with this.

      By number 5 I meant refusing to pay for the whole thing. But a guy refusing to pay for his portion is just bad taste in my opinion.

    I paid cause I invited her to the date.
    I'd expect the bill to become shared the more serious we got.

    If a woman refuses to let me pay, I would pay for her because she's being nice and considerate.

    If a woman starts demanding that I should pay, I would tell her to pay and leave.

    It would depend on how the woman treats me. :D

    i kinda feel like the person who asks should be the one to pay on the first date, but i wouldn't make a habit out of paying for the whole thing. After two/three dates you should start splitting it

      I agree with that. But the women who expect men to pay for them usually also expect men to ask them out and never does that them self.

      I agree, I always find it annoying but I'm not a women so I guess my opinion is invalid.
      Are you still attracted to some kind of 'confidence' though? Is there a non-'western standard' kind of confidence you like?

      "i don't like what is considered ”confidence” by western standards. always did the opposite of attract me. "
      +1 I feel the same way. Confidence kind of ticks me off for reasons unknown.
