Should a guy pay for a girls meal?

Question

Fitness-Fanatic · Accepted Answer

On a first date, I prefer to pay for my own share of the bill. Because if the date doesn't go too well , and we don't want to meet up again he won't feel used as a
" meal ticket". I'd feel guilty if he paid , and I didn't want to see him again. I wouldn't want him to feel used

If we'd been dating a while and he insisted on paying, then I'd insist that I pay the next time. I'm financially independent, so I'd hate someone else to always pay my way.

It'd be unfair to expect the guy to always pay, because he may have very little money. He may not be able to afford to pay for two meals. He might just make enough money to get by himself. I have the means to pay for my own meal.

No way, just don't take a new date to an expensive place if you aren't sure she can afford it. Especially on the first couple of dates when things aren't serious both should split. If you're together you can each take turns. Why waste money on someone if he/she don't take you serious.

He doesn't have to but if he does she might love him a lot more.

Is this assuming it's a first date? Here's the way I see it. A first date should be very simple and low cost as you don't know the other person and if you guys don't click you haven't wasted heaps of money on a fancy dinner. So as a guy I'll pay for a coffee or alcohol at a pub for me and the girl. And I'll say she can buy what we have the next time so she knows I'm no pushover. So don't go for dinner on a first date, leave it til later when you know each other better and there will be a next date for sure.

I’m ganna say this. If a guy pays for your meal the first date. I think it’s also polite to give him another date after that. Because although it is polite for him to pay, it looks like your just using him for a free meal. Ladies should always be ready to pay your own way. After awhile of dating and she actually being your woman. It’s now expected that you pay for your lady

PrincessPie · Answer

I think that is the gentlemanly thing to do yes.

Jae6569 · Answer

Yes! Because its the right thing to do in every circumstance. I can't imagine dating or sleeping with a guy who can't afford or doesn't wanna pay for my meal

AaronKrieger · Answer

I think for the first one yes, but after a while it shouldn't matter anymore. If she were to make you pay for every single one and deny the option to ever pay. It's selfish in it's own right.

ConfusedGirl24 · Answer

Nope. They should split the bill or if the guy paid for the meal, the girl should pay for the next meal.

Wotcher · Answer

Whoevers idea it was to go out should pay, unless its an established sugar repationship, but always offer to split the check is my rule of thumb

Anon85 · Answer

For the most part. If you're in a long-term relationship though the girl should be helping out too. But in general yes

KiaTate · Answer

It's depends on if it's a date and he asked to take her out, if your interested in her "romantically". If your just hanging out with a friend you don't have to.

estoydorado1 · Answer

If a guy insisted, I'd appreciate it and accept but I wouldn't expect it.

qwert1234 · Answer

Is she poor? Are you rich? Did you ask her out and she's not your girlfriend yet? -If you answered yes, they yeah, probably pay for the meal.

lync1212 · Answer

Yes on the first date, but she also has to offer to pay. Otherwise she is a gold digger

SensationalPear · Answer

Should? I don't think so. He can if he really wants. If he does, I'd like to treat him next time.

jimyee · Answer

If the guy asked the girl out yes. Paying for the date should be the initiater.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Wollu · Answer

Nope. Bad decision for both. Finacially and emotionally,

That2kKid21 · Answer

I suppose, maybe on the first date, but it's not a MUST DO for all guys. I just would. Because that's who I am. If I'm trying to impress someone, I help them anyway possible.

Nora_Sutherlin · Answer

Nope. Guys shouldn't pay for girls meal. Everyone should buy their own food.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

If she is your woman then I believe yes. It should be a great honor to take care of your woman in all ways.

Phantomistic · Answer

At first yes  Once things start to roll it should be either splitting the check  Or a meal on the guy and a meal on the girl

eviansim · Answer

I don't think in this day that we girls would expect you guys to pay for us. We earn the same and have the same opportunities.
