Who should pay on a date?

Question

wiltingrosepetal · Accepted Answer

This question is silly to me. No person should be given the natural role of paying simply based on their gender. Once the date ends, just talk about it.

Example 1:
Girl: Should we split the cheque?
Boy: No, I'll pay.

Example 2:
Boy: Would you like me to pay?
Girl: I'm fine with splitting.

Example 3:
Girl: I'll pay.
Boy: I'll pay for the next one, then.

This isn't the devisive issue everyone makes it out to be. A quick conversation between the two on the date is all it takes

Let's split. No expectations left behind

I think the guy should go into the date with the intent of paying. I always do. And I would say at least half, and truthfully probably the majority of women have at least offered to pay (their share). Which while not necessary, I think says something about the woman's character. I can tell you I always appreciate just the fact that she's offered.

If you date women who always expect you to pay and never offer. I think you might want to take a look at the type of women you're asking out.

Depends on the details. I generally don't go big on a first date - that is for getting to know each other. If she wants someone to impress her with their largesse, then she wants someone else.

I have been on all three of these date options.

A traditional man will pay. A modern man looking for a modern woman can do whatever he feels like. A women should at least offer to split regardless of if she is traditional or not. There is no should, this is just one of the first steps in setting up expectations and seeing how the other thinks.

The person who initiates the ask. However, even if a girl asked me out on a date, if I accepted, I'd pay for it. That's just the way I like it.
