Movie date: Also pay for your date's ticket or not?

[Strifelaugher]

I've always offered to pay the ticket for the girl that was accompanying me, but then I dated this girl who absolutely refused me paying her entrance fee.

What is your attitude towards this matter?

Additionally:

Girls: Do you expect that guys pay your ticket?

Guys: Do you propose buying the girl her ticket?

Thanks in advance!

I don't expect it unless it's the first date. If it's the first date, it's a little rude to make her pay. After that, it's a little more open to determination. Personally, I think it's kind of sweet if a guy insists to pay after the first, but I don't mind covering my own stuff. I know money doesn't grow on trees and movie tickets are a little expensive.

In response to your individual situation: there are some girls out there who are really strong feminists and feel like they shouldn't depend on a man for anything. I personally think girls like that should realize that they can still let a guy be nice without freaking out and thinking he's trying to take away their independence or whatever they're afraid might happen if a guy buys them a little movie ticket.

I went through a phase where I used to wanted to pay for everything. I always offered to pay for us both, split the bill or at least pay for myself. I didn't wanna seem like a gold digger or like I needed him. Then I started going out with a guy who absolutely refused to let me pay no matter how much I insisted, that impressed me and forced me to be more vulnerable.

Its not about the money really, I just wanted to feel like I was worth it. I don't want him to pay for everything I just want him to want to pay, if that makes sense. Even now I have an issue with my boyfriend giving me things but I'm getting more comfortable with it. To answer your question, don't offer to pay, a question like that implies you don't really want to, just do it.

I think for the first few times its alright for the guy to pay for the ticket, but I also think that girls have to give up a little of their money too. You should bring money for two movie tickets. If it looks like she's whipping out her money, just take out money for yours and maybe casually mention next time that you won't mind covering the whole thing.

Or if she really doesn't want a guy paying for tickets, say you can pay for movie tickets and she can pay for the snacks, or have it the other way around.

Good luck on your date :)

if this is her principle and she would bring it up then I'd be cool with that. I wouldn't care.

i don't propose, I buy.

My attitude is that whoever ask for the date pays for the date.

Girls: Do you expect that guys pay your ticket?

If he asked me out I expect him to be willing to pay though I won't let him pay as I'm not interested in him thinking because he paid for something for me he paid for my body and I owe him sex.

I think it's nice when a guy offers to pay for things on a date, be it a movie ticket, drinks or a cab ride. It makes me think he's a gentleman and likes me enough to treat me. This is important, however I earn my own money and I like to be able to treat him too! So it's nice to go halves on a dinner, or to pay for a round of drinks. A bit of both I would say. :)

i expect it. I can pay for my own ticket. but I'm looking for a certain quality in a guy and it is demonstrated in this way. it is not the only quality I am looking for, but it is a part of the equation. so yes, I expect for him to pay for it.

[DeepBlue]

What is the quality being demonstrated if you don't mind me asking?

[justaskin8888]

that is for me to know...

I've met people like that so I don't think anything.

No, I don't expect it because some like to pay and some don't so what's the point of expecting it if it's not always the case.
