On the first date should man and women split the bills or man pay the bills?

This is a question that has been debated numerous times here on GaG.

There is no general policy but my opinion is as follows:

However invites for a date (usually the man) must ensure that the place where the first date will take place, such as a restaurant, is within the budget of the person that is invited. Costs should be split on a 50/50 basis because both profit from the date.

However, If the place is an expensive place or if the invited person is not able (or willing) to pay for such an expensive outing, then the contribution should be split according to a pre-established pro-rata of their respective income.

I am not in favor of the one or the other party having to settle for the entire bill.

Guys listen to this "logic" and witness every pussy you want dry up like the sahara desert

I asked out my current SO for the first date. Therefore, I paid. He tried. I will give him that, but I am way too sneaky. I got up to "use the restroom" and paid the bill.

I thought that it was only fair I paid since I had asked. I also think splitting on a first date is perfectly acceptable. I don't think the man should be obligated to pay like this was half a century ago.

Just some common sense will tell you that it all evens out in the end. That is, of course, if there are more dates. I can tell you that on subsequent dates, he paid, I paid, we split costs, etc.

Why not, as a thought pay for what you order, not even split the bill.

Just pay for the food and drinks you order, ask for separate bills.

The main thing is to behave like adults and actually talk to each other before the date.

it’s not really any different than going out for a meal with a friend, some are tight as fuck and will order maximum if it’s your turn to pay, when it’s there turn, it’s a cheap restaurant and they order water.

Just talk about it and pay your own way.

My only exception is if I pick some place I like, then I will definitely cover everything as it’s my choice. They are welcome to pay for their own, however that will be a chunk of cash, starters are like £25 plus lol.

Brother to sister
Boy "I have a job and you don't, why am I broke all the time and you always have money."
Girl "Because I have a boyfriend and you have a girlfriend."

There's a reason men work more hours and take dangerous and unpleasant jobs, we have to...
One of the main reasons I didn't date much in my 20's was I simply couldn't afford a girlfriend. One of the main reasons I stopped dating at 30 was I realized just how incredibly expensive women are.

If I had all the money back that I spent on women, I would literally never have to work again. This isn't counting the piles of cash it took just to get a date!

Well since men are the initiators 99% of the time, you're inviting someone out to do something. So to me, it's my treat because I asked them. If things progress, then we can talk about money.

[Guy13]

Pay the bill yiu cheap bastard. No one wants to penny pinching guy

[Astarlessnightsky]

Everything is fine, just discuss it before you order so no one gets surprised.

[EyeKnowMeNahYou]

There's no stated rules I'll leave it to this at the discretionn of the two

[Anonymous]

Women should be paying for themselves because they wanted the equality bullshit and the majority of them are just using dating sites now to get free shit so it should be a rule that women pay for themselves

[Guido]

Times are changing and I don't know what people are doing these days but I always pay for a date. That is just who I am.

[driven159]

NO NO NO unless she asks you out first but then offer to pay

[MCheetah]

Go Dutch or go home and don't waste my time.

[exitseven]

The person that asks for the date should pay.

[Massageman]

Inviter should be ready to pay the whole tab.

[jahaims]

Depends who asked who

[Pudsmucker]

That is if you go dutch.

[In_Trance]
