Girls, what is your reaction if the guy asks to split the bill?

Question

desidoll · Accepted Answer

If he is just my friend I will pay mine but if he is my boyfriend I'd feel upset. I am not stingy. It has nothing to do with money but I was raised in a culture where women men are the ones who suppose to pay. It is more about the gender roles. I don't mind buying him branded gifts (watch, shoes, belt) even if it costs me so much, but paying for his meals is just a little weird to me.

I'd be ok about it , coz if he didn't make the request.. I would

I wouldn't spilt it by paying half each though. I'd pay for my share of the bill and he can pay for his share.

If a guy insisted that he wanted to pay then I'd insist that I pay the next time. It's unfair if one person has to always " foot the bill"

I would respect him all the more for the fact that he considers me financially capable of supporting myself. I know the man paying the bill is generally considered "chivalry" but it's just patronising under the guise of gentlemanly behaviour.
I would happily split the bill.

This pie chart doesn't make sense. I have paid the bill, split the bill, and, once, she paid the bill, on various first dates. How does that graph on here?

I throw the "are you serious" look and walk out... after paying 100% of the bill.

Miyumi · Answer

Depends. What kind of relationship are we in?

Usually I prefer splitting the bill. Don't wanna eat/drink on behalf of someone else, I prefer life to be fair. I always think, what if he pays for 40 bucks, and we never see eachother again? That'd be so rude xd. So if he asks to split I'd be fine with that (well unless he orders food for 100bucks for himself and I only got something to drink).

I hate this type of mentality. Feminists be like: gender equality! Women rights! Women career! Oh... but pay the bill, cuz I am a girl. I should earn as much as you earn, maybe more, cuz I have a saint graal called vagina which spits out little human beings, I am a strong independent woman, but you should pay.

Izumiblu · Answer

Depends, if you asked me out and spring this on me on the date I'll pay the full bill and walk away. If I asked you out then I'll be appreciative of the gesture but I'll expect you to let me pay and I'll reject your offer. If you keep insisting I'll get tired of it because after all I already said I am paying ergo I expect my ask to be respected.

Sunrisecather8 · Answer

I don't mind, because to me men can use their many as they see fit. They don't have obligation to but me flowers, chocolate, food, drinks, underwear, movie tickets. Personally, I'd like to use my money just because I can.

Lelaila · Answer

My reaction would be "sure!" I mean, I wouldn't care less who pays on the first date.

Morrioghan · Answer

I would be relieved because I would not feel I am using him. But sometimes it feels good if he pays. I don't know why. Maybe because he honors me with paying my food.

Girl7150 · Answer

If it was the very first date, I'd think "okaay?" to myself, but agree to split it.  If it was second date I'd probably suggest we split the bill myself lol

PinkInOctober · Answer

On a first date, I prefer he pays the bill. I don't care how unfair that is for a guy but I think it's part of being a gentleman. Now I know some girls out there are just looking for a meal but that's why he should take the time to get to know and see that I'm different. Second dates and etc then I'll volunteer to go Dutch or pay for it myself.

fauchelevent · Answer

That's what I'm most comfortable doing so my reaction would just be to say cool and give him the money?

drearyroses · Answer

I would secretly feel bitter about it, but not show it.

TheDerpyDeed · Answer

that's fair, after all a couple is supposed to overcome challenges together.

Sonjita · Answer

It's OK but then I'd assume that he only wants to be friends with me.

EmHenz · Answer

i pay the bill most of the time bcos my boyfriend has financial issues... SO STOP COMPLAINING IF y'all ARE SPLITTING THE BILL GOD DAMN IT

Anonymous · Answer

I go on cheap or free dates all the time.  I never demand to be taken out to eat, but if he offers, he's buying, because I am a broke-ass mofo.

Unit1 · Answer

I tremble the moment those words come out from my mouth "Let us split the bill this time please?".

Emmy09 · Answer

Don't mind at all! I earn my own money just like you, more than happy to pay for myself.

GrumpyGoo · Answer

"Okay, fine. Good idea!"
