Should you split the bill evenly when on a date?

[mono_gram]

Yes

No

[Summeroflove]

I think it kusr depends. Splitting a bill is a nice thing to do because you don’t have to do it. It’s a nice gesture. But you aren’t entitled to it. If you leave without paying for your half of the food. You’re going to be arrested for theft.

If someone wants to have standards that says. They need the other perosn to pay for the date. That’s fine. I don’t have a problem with it. But they still aren’t entitled. They can choose not to go out with that person anymore. That’s why people should date. To see who you’re compatible with.


But if you go on a date. You aren’t entitled to free shit. That’s not how things work. Men and women are entitled to have their own standards. On who they choose to be with.

I don't think so. Whenever I went out on dates, I always paid. My mentality was that if I was going to ask a woman to spend an evening with me, to give up time she could have spent doing anything else - which implies that she's going to dress nicely and put on good makeup - then the least I can do is pay for her dinner, movie ticket, coffee cup, whatever it was we were doing.

That is still my thought process today and the counsel I would give to a young (er) man looking to win a woman's heart.

doesn't seem like date to me if u split bill

[RebelinSteel]

It really comes down to the context of the date and the individuals, there is no should or should not, there is a it depends or do what both feel is right.

when dating at university, we would often split the bill, as neither of us could cover the full meal if we went some place decent. That then gave us both enough cash for the rest of the date.

Idk…I’ve been married 15 years. So I usually paid back then. It sounds like the guy should assume he’s paying, kinda announce it causally that he’ll get this. And if she offers to pay half, keep it light, say “You sure?” “Ok, cool”.

And if she doesn’t offer to pay at all that doesn’t mean she’s cheap or taking advantage. Both sides are fighting against societal expectations.

Depends on a lot of things. If I'm paid much more than my date, I'm happy to pay most of the time. If she's paid about the same I would expect to take turns or split the cost.

[strateguy632]

i started doing that and specified my plan to divide. gals agreed.

[Anonymous]

I think it's a good idea for a woman to always be prepared to.

I'd say the majority of my dates have offered to pay "thier share". I of course never accepted. But I always at least appreciated the gesture.

[Phoenix98]

That's honestly up to you and whoever you go on dates with.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes but I don't go on dates, but going with a girlfriend or wife to eat out? sure.

[nawtee_me]

No splitting the bill, he should cover it. That is whom ever asked the other out should cover the bill.

[loveslongnails]

Not enough information to answer a simple yes or no.

[MrZameer]

I always pay, cause in our side (Pakistan) we prefer that male should pay for food

[Billlewis]

No, absolutely not. Ever.

[NathanDavis]

[IslaTheWitch]

[JacobJordan]
