If You Go On A Shopping Date, Who Should Be Paying?

[fonduegirl]

note : the last option is for Asian culture and the likes where it's normalised to reside with your parents and assuming some folks are either young or got some family money set aside or even family business — the last option is applicable.

note 2 : if you're in a homosexual relationship, don't vote on the poll, just clarify how it's working out for you guys in the inbox.

The man, of course

The woman, it's a nice change

Let's pay for ourselves

Let's split the bill

No idea, I live on my parent's income

[SnowedIn]

I selected "ourselves". Like, if we went on a shopping date, I'd pay for food and activities for the two of us, but I wouldn't expect you to pay for my Lego sets and books and I wouldn't expect to have to buy you whatever you picked out. I might buy you a gift, but not the rest of your stuff.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Well, I'd offer to pay, if I could afford it and we stuck to the budget, but after the limit she can buy her own.

[fonduegirl]

That's amazing

[fonduegirl]

For this imaginary shopping date, what's your limit?

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Would depend upon what we had planned and our relationship. If we've been going out for over six months, I'd try to put aside enough to cover three hundred. If it's really early, one hundred. I think it could be a lot of fun. Mind you, it wouldn't be able to be done often, probably a few times a year.

[fonduegirl]

Ah, that's low.

[fonduegirl]

Realistically speaking, 100 can't even get proper jeans 👖

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Well, I wasn't thinking about Abercrombie or high end brands. I guess I'm too frugal. I suppose three early on and five for the later one.

[fonduegirl]

I'm not either. I got my jeans from a thrift store for 110.

[fonduegirl]

You obviously can't expect your date to pay for designer shit.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

At a thrift store? Good lord, lol.

[Guy13]

Each pay their own way.

[TallAnon]

Never been on a shopping date, that just sounds like a waste of money. If you want a small cute thing, I might buy it or keep it in mind to buy before a second date, but if you gonna buy yourselves some new shoes; That's your expense and your problem, lmao.

[fonduegirl]

Fair enough

[EmmaMary]

Surely any "shopping date" means you pay for your own purchases.

@anon1903

I have a feeling you might well be going to teach me a little more Indian culture! 😉🙂

[fonduegirl]

Hehe I might.

[Phoenix98]

Never been on one to be honest. In my mind that's just us going to stores and looking at stuff and maybe we get something for each other or purchase something together that we both want.

Or it's just an excuse for her to dress me up in clothes she likes. Since I'm selective about what I normally wear. As like 90% of the shirts I own are button down flannels lmao.

[Dinklex3]

I can’t imagine going on a shopping date and paying for all his clothes unless it was his birthday or he really needed new clothes and I wanted to treat him. I voted to pay for ourselves.

[LazerBean]

If you go shopping, you pay for yourself. If someone offers to pay for the other that's fine too, but the expectation should always be to pay for yourself.

[motownplayer2000]

I wouldn’t go on a shopping date. I would barely go on an expensive night out with dinner and entertainment date, unless she did something that was worthy of it. And no, being my date doesn’t entitle you to all the finer things off the bat.

[Stevefiveo]

Men support women. Real men don't take money from women.

[Adam1978]

I would never go on a shopping date. The whole idea is corrupt.

[PointTaken]

I always belive the man should pay. If it's something she will wear, the guy should pay for it so he can see it on her (or if it happens off her too. Lol).

[Razp_Sorbet]

If you're buying for yourself then pay for yourself

[Pete671]

If the woman is cooking, the man should pay,,,

[shortster]

Generally you pay for your own stuff when you go shopping. Unless you talk about it beforehand.

[the_sinner]

Pay for ourselves. I’d try not to pay for the person unless it’s an emergency or we’re official.

[exitseven]

Everyone pays for their own stuff

[tedbuoyy]

Can I dm you
