Both. Split the bill pay for yourself, pay for eachother, go 50/50.
The one who invites pays! If she invites you, she pays. If he invites you, he pays. Simple!
Both of them...
If someone is less able financially, the other should pay. That would work well whether or not the relationship will continue.
So I didn't vote.
I think it really depends, I wouldn't do 50/50. If I invited him, I will also pay for it but when I got invited then on contrary. Afterwards, I'd offer some coffee for us both
I guess all us men know about this one. Best advice split the check keep both genders even on this one times have changed.
Whoever asked the other person should pay. The askeris the one who made the offer to take the other person somewhere and/or set something up. It makes sense for it to be their responsibility to foot the bill.
asker is*
Both parties should split the bill because I think that’s fair for a first date, if we go on a second date I’ll most likely pay
If you wanna be called a man, you must be the one to initiate the first move and be polite enough to pay on the first date.
Real men don't let themselves be taken advantage of by girls wanting a free meal.
@Daniela1982 Taken advantage of? Real men aren’t freeloaders who make women their bread and butter eithe.. that’s called a child. Also, that’s not the point of dating.
Both parties should pay for themselves! Too many people take advantage of others. Been there done that and got the T shirt.
50/50. You show me your invested and I’ll outinvest you. But until you prove you have skin in the game I’m not biting.
I think 50/50 is ideal, but unfortunately the men of my country always want to pay and it is difficult to persuade them.
Call me old-fashioned but I think man is the one who should pay on the first date. Simply because it shows that he is a gentleman plus woman needs more money to make herself presentable.
Who ever asked to go on the date should pay for it.
he is suppose to show how much he values being with her.
He deserves to be shown how much he is valued too.
That has nothing to do with payment...
The grounds for the tradition of a man paying for a woman have long since past us by (so much so that there's only one kind of woman a man is expected to pay for these days). It was because women weren't allowed to work and earn money, or even have money or property, so the man had to pay or there would be no date. These days women can earn so that "tradition" is used as an excuse by women to be a leach, and by men to feel they are owed.
I pay for EVERY date unless she really wants to for some special occasion like my birthday. Men are the providers. It is a turnoff to real women when they have to pay.
Showing stability and effort. If things work out she will be a bearer and comforter for years to come.
If you smash and grab it. An she has your child. Possibly paying for the next eighteen years away. What's a dinner bro? Bro?
I'm still old fashioned here and it should be the guy!
in my opinion it should be the person doing the asking should pay. I know I have payed when I did the asking out.
Either the one who asked the other out or the one with more money.
If a woman expects a guy to pay she is saying her time is more valuable than his. Why should I believe you would help out down the road if you won't at least pay for yourself on a first.
