Search Results: paying for a date

Based on a conversation I had with my friend. Because different people have different cultural traditions as well as different personal beliefs. But they intersect in different ways.

For example, for me personally, I believe in saving sex for marriage, but I don't believe in traditional gender roles. I believe in equality between men and women.

I think a lot of people assume that people who want to get married are traditional. But that is not always the case. I'm not traditional at all.

NOTE: For the purposes of this poll, let's say that "traditional gender roles" means the man asking the woman, the man paying for dates, the wife staying at home and not working, the wife having children, the husband being a provider, etc. Basically all of the stereotypes you can think of. But if you see yourself as traditional, you don't necessarily have to believe in every single thing that's listed here. This is just a general guide. Feel free to clarify your views in the comments.

If you check all of the boxes for "traditional" but you don't believe in marriage and you prefer cohabitation instead, just vote for "traditional.". I'm not splitting hairs between the two.

I saw that a guy on GaG was outraged that a girl asked “you’re gonna pay, right?” She said this before picking out an item on the menu. He said yes and kept his word. He says that the cost wasn't really a big deal, but I feel like it definitely adds to why he was upset. It was $27 for a steak by the way. Many people didn't think there was anything wrong with that and I personally thought it was even more considerate that she didn't just assume, but many people disagreed as well. You can debate that all you want, and I'll have a link to the question here:
Girl asked, “you’re gonna pay, right?” while ordering at a restaurant then proceeded to order a $27 dollar steak after I told her yes. What the hell?

I do think it's a little out of the ordinary to ask but anyways I'm not asking about that specific situation. I just want to know what you think about in general between these options.

Please be honest and feel free to comment on this matter.

If you'd never in your life ask anyone out on a date but would accept, then please comment the mindset you'd have and/or the mindset you'd like your date to have in regards paying the bill.
