Who do you think should pay for a date?

Anonymous
I stand by my belief that this is 2011, and that things should be equal. This means, equal sacrifices included, but I am asking to know what everyone else thinks.

1. Who do you think should pay on a first date? If the guy asks the girl out.

2. Should a girl ask a guy out? and if so who should pay on that date?

3. Who do you think should pay after the first date?

4. Who usually pays after the first date in your experience?

5. What is your reason for thinking this?

6. If one person pays more than the other, how is that favour returned?

7. Who should pay if one of you was short on money?

8. Who should pay when it was one person's birthday?

9. Who should pay on special holidays and occasions?

10. What do you think of these gender roles?

Now here are some gender-specific questions

--FOR THE GIRLS--

11. Would you offer to pay half or for your part of the date if he was going to pay?

12. How would you react if he accepted this offer on the first date?

13. How would you react if he accepted this offer after the first date?

14. How would you react if a guy expected you to pay your part on the first date?

15. How would you react if a guy expected you to pay your part after the first date, if he still though he should pay?

16. Have you ever asked a guy out? Who did you expect to pay? Who ended up paying?

17. Would you feel uncomfortable with a guy paying for you all the time?

--FOR THE GUYS--

11. What would your reaction be if a girl offered to pay her part on the first date? (if you asked her out)

12. What would your reaction be if a girl DIDN'T offer to pay her part on the first date? (if you asked her out)

13. What would your reaction be if a girl offered to pay her part after the first date? (if you asked her out)

14. What would your reaction be if a girl DIDN'T offer to pay her part after the first date? (if you asked her out)

15. If a girl asked you out, and expected you to pay, how would you react? Would you consider dating her again?

--NOTE--

Please provide reasons and give details for what you think especially if it could annoy people. No trolling please! I am using anonymous to avoid flamers, but I may turn off anonymous if this question doesn't turn into a flamewar.
