Some times split among two.. some time the guy pays... how date has been gone also a give an input too...
I pay my 1/2 of the date. That way I don’t have to “owe” anything
Every date I've been on there's an effort to split and I say please, let me get this one and I've yet to have an argument.
Whoever suggested the date itself? I mean, it makes sense to me.
Who ever initiates the invite. So I have to go and pay for a meal every time someone invites me to a meal or whatever? That's an arbitrary demand I'll never do
Well, equality should be considered... they should split it.
The one who asks for the date, that's the custom here in Chile.
But the guy asks 90% of the time
@Markfish I don't know, but here is extremely rude to take someone out and then suggest to go dutch. Customs are different everywhere I guess. I'm not saying I expect the guy to pay always, I'd take him out and pay everything too.
Where is "here"?
@Markfish Chile, my first comment says it.
Yeah, a backwards South American country. And this is coming from someone who is South African.
@Markfish Sure. Anyway it was you who said the guys asks most of the time. I never said the guy should pay.
You really think girls ask most of the time?
@Markfish You are assuming things again. Just be cool, there's no need to be butthurt about this.
Ill ask it again... please answer the question, do women really ask men out as often?
@Markfish Yes, most girls I know do and are straightforward with the guy they want. Old women are the ones that wait endlessly until the man asks. Things may be different in the place you're living in.
Man! Always the man! It's the gentleman thing to do
I think both paying would be fair. Cause if she expects me to pay then it's already off to a rough start.
You should both pay your own meals. That way no one has pressure on having to be a good provider. And you buy what you can afford.
As a guy, I want to pay every time. If I don't want to pay, then that isn't a girl I should be going out with. That seems like a waste of both of our time
I say whoever asked the other out on a date should pay.
Whoever has money to spare? I mean.. really? Whoever asks the other person out I guess..
It SHOULD be half and half.
If a woman expects a man to pay for her time, she is saying that she feels her time is worth money and his isn't. She is saying she doesn't respect him and feels entitled.
The woman should always pay for the first date. Maybe even the first couple of dates. After that you can start splitting the bill
Lol usually the man
All my first dates - the guy pays 😂
Both but later on it should rotate between guy and girl
Well said
Split the bill, having a vagina shouldn't entitle you to having free lunches. That's just equality plain and simple.
Depending on the personalities... Anyone can pay for the date. OBVIOUSLY. damnit.
In a world where hundreds of thousands of feminists are protesting because they want gendre equality, I would say split. Both of them equally pay, so no one gets mad.
Lol “hundreds of thousands of feminists protesting.” You make it sound like the end of the world. Just say split it equally, that’s all you need lol. Yes, I believe people should split unless one insists. And whoever invites the other person should go with the expectation to pay. That’s what I do. If I invite my boyfriend, I intend to pay.
Whoever is the richest. So usually the man. unless u get a sugar mamma
guys like it when women go for the check even if you don't want to pay, you should act like you want to
Na, I guy I used to know hated when girls did that. Like, hated with a passion. Said it's basically alie
@GirlOfApathy25 lol then you mean he wanted you to pay or like he knows that you are just pretending to pay?
Hell I don't know, I wasn't there being a third wheel. Lmao
@GirlOfApathy25 Ohh 😂 I thought maybe you were on a date with that guy x'D
Eww no way.
He ain't my type.
Just a friend
@GirlOfApathy25 I see :3
Whoever asked should pay! Or go 50/50. Or whatever.
Both split 50 50 so you know the other person isn't a money grabber
Both unless one insists. That, or maybe whoever suggested the place.
Its a hard one... guy can get called a pig for not pay
Or offends if he does
Who ever invites the person over. Either that or split the pay.
If she is a feminist she can pay, if she is normal I will gladly pay. Dont be a hippocrite ladies.
Both should pay for eachother-a great way to start things off and make a good impression.
This is the problem people have with feminists-they say they want equality-yet when they realize that actually requires them to actually put in any effort-they act like their "movement" has just started.
Perhaps the higher wage earner should pay. Thank you for asking.
Personally I feel more comfortable at least offering, but I generally try not to make it a big deal
If she wants me to make her cum on our first date then she's paying..
Who asked? When I ask someone out I pay. If she asks me she should pay. Or you could agree to split the bill beforehand.
I think it should be split evenly.
Whoever asks the person out on the date. If the guy offers feel free to take him up on it (;
The man, but if the woman doesn't even offer to split, I wouldn't ask her out again. I'll definitely pay, but I'm. not her boyfriend at that point, I don't like entitled girls
You would be doing her a favor. Most girls don't like cheapskates either.
I don't see how me paying for her is being cheap.
Either you misread my comment or you really feel like you're owed a dinner when a guy wants to get to know you.
I want to spend time to get to know a person, not pay them for their time... If you go out and your not prepared to pay for yourself, I don't know what to tell you.
If you asked a guy out and he didn't offer to pay at least for himself, honestly how would you feel? It's not even about the money.
I think it depends on how comfortable you are with each other and there's nothing wrong with splitting the cost on things or each pay for their own thing
I always pay for the first date. Can't say what other guys do
Split the bill or go Dutch.
I don't mind paying for dates. When me and my wife started dating, she refused to let me pay for everything even though I was fine with it...
For me is more than obvious, and fair, that each one pays his own part.
Normally the guy but things are changing so it could be either
Boy will pay the bill and take the girl and fuck her hardly
I think the asker should pay.
Whoever asks for the date pays.
I always do, I make more money than my fiance does
whoever wanted to go out on the date first.
Both wanted to go on the date, thats why there are 2 people on the date!
@Kiels01 Whoever “invited.” It can end up being split, but whoever invites should offer and be okay with paying. That’s how I do it, even when my boyfriend and I do stuff, I often make the suggestions and so I try to make sure I can afford us both.
"you try"
Depends on who asked the other out.
So the man then lol
Not necessarily, the girls can initiate, most don't like to. If she offers to pay I wouldn't say no but most girls are taught to rely on the guy.
Well if we take this scenario into account then it evens up the "wage gap".
Whoever had the idea to take the other person out.
the man, unless it's a lesbian date.
😂😂😂😂
The person who invite the other.
Both split. Eat peasy.
A guy pays for the first date.
To me, it depends on who asked who out.
Whomever asked for the date generally treats
I've always paid for every date with every girl. So to me the question is absolutely ridiculous.
I don't see that as any different to prostitution.
@Markfish Two thumbs up
Not kidding, you are paying for her time.
@Markfish Indeed..
The man should want to pay for all dates.
@Alanfra Why should he?
@MysteriousDarkness Hi, when a man finds the right woman he naturally feels protective and wants to provide for her. He wants to take her out, do things that make her smile and make her life easier.
@Alanfra Thank you! Finally a MAN willing to be a gentleman!
And then you end up as "free meal" in their phonebook
@pink1980 my pleasure
@Arne123123 it's a shame that you're so cynical at such a young age
And how do you think that happened. Everyone are just cheating and using each other
@Arne123123 I'm sorry to hear that, but as a man you have to have the confidence to rise above this and find a woman who will love you and trust you. You are better than the rest.
And that worked out great for you? Happily married for 20+ years are you?
@Arne123123 Actually, yes, for 27 years perfectly happy, until I did something stupid to blow it.(I wasn't unfaithful). She still loves me more than ever, but won't take me back at the moment.
My mistake.
Go Dutch. Makes EVERYTHING easier.
What a dumb question, obviously men..
So the women is like a professional escort then.
@Markfish I'm not saying women shouldn't pay too but men are almost always expected to pay on first date. Since the man is chasing the woman (or trying to impress her), he has to prove to her that he could support her financially. But if the woman wants to pay too, nobody is stopping her.
He has to prove that he can support her financially? Then the women in that relationship is no different to a prostitute.
@Markfish okay ill give you the answer you wanna hear, split the bill :D
it should be whoever asked the person.. or the guy
i dont have a problem with the girl paying tho
