Do guys still pay for dates?

I don't date anymore since I'm married but if I was single, I always do. That said, I don't only pay for the dates, I ask the girl out and plan the whole date. She is my guest and I am her host.

It is only fair as I see it that I cover everything just like I think it is only fair if my boss asks me to join him for dinner that he covers everything. He would be a cheapskate if he wanted to split the bill after.

If there is a clear leader in a relationship, the leader should pay. That is only proper. If there is no leader then it makes sense to me to split, but I only dated in leader-style way, not like two friends just figuring out what to do together like:

--"Where do you wanna go?" --"I don't any ideas. HBU?" --"Me neither. --"I'm cool going wherever you wanna go." --"Me too."

I never did that style with my dating. I'm like, "We go here! I lead. You follow if you want! If you follow, I pay!"

I've heard these groups of guys saying it's like prostitution if they pay entirely for the date. Maybe if they expect to get sex from it, but that is a very messed up expectation for just dinner. A gentleman doesn't expect that; he is fine with a woman following his lead and being her host. I don't charge my friends when they come to my house and eat my food. I am the host and they are my guest. They pay me with their company. This is an etiquette thing when one person is clearly the host/leader. Only the worst leaders expect their followers to share in the bill.

Well some guys. Yes. But remember when a guy pays its to be nice. Because he doesn’t have to do it and that’s why you should appreciate it.



And if he pays for a date you should pay as well sometimes.

Once in a while my wife and I have a date night. I paid when we started dating, I still pay now while we're married. Any time I took a girl on a date I paid for everything we did. Sometimes I brought them flowers

If they do, they shouldn't be. Women work now. So it should be 50/50. Especially on the first date where it may not progress beyond that.

I pay for the full first date and then after that we can't make a deal about how to share the cost of our dinner if she wants
