Humm well myself I'm not to good to pay and have plenty time. And have grabbed the check to have it taken away from me.

There is nothing wrong with a woman paying there is no rules nor is it in stone a man should pay all the time.

Hell I make more then some of the guys I have dated in the past.bigsmile

Besides to me if they don't at least do something once in a while buy the concert tickets or buy all the stuff to fix a good meal and fix it or take the guy out to dinner and pay for it. I would have to question there motives myself.

Are they just out to get what they can? Do they expect you to do for them and don't return the favors?

If so sorry see ya Adios Amigo!!!!grumble grumble grumble

You know the rules should be treat others as they treat you!!

You do things for others and those favors will be returned.

Sorry I want a giver also not just a receiver.bigsmile

I think any relationship should be 50/50

First of all, either you have an incredible memory or you keep a heck of a calendar!!! Most men I know can barely remember what they did on the first date with their girlfriend, much less the exact number of times they have been out. I'm not sure if it's a good thing that you're keeping count or not, but it is definitely unique.

On to the actual topic, though... if you have been dating for any amount of time (and you probably have unless you go out every night) then there should be a certain balance established. My boyfriend paid for everything the first month or so we were together, but it made me feel very uncomfortable as an independant woman not contributing in some way. One morning I just pulled out the money and paid for breakfast, and it really made him feel special. Since then, we switch things up every now and then without any kind of specific "You pay this time, I'll pay next time" deal. It's more a give and take thing, which I believe all relationships should have.

On the other hand, some people have very traditional values and believe it is the "man's place" to pay. In the 21st century I really think that mindset is outdated and sexist. It also could be more about the way you asked than what you actually asked for. It sounds to me like you just casually asked if she could pick up the bill this time, not like you pressured or demanded anything.

Bottom line-- Your feelings are valid and if she can't understand that then maybe she is in it for the wrong reasons.

huh

well, what I read in ur original post or rant.. said NOTHING that she took you out... It stating that you had an "outing" for her friends bday...

at the end it said something about you asking her if she could ever pay or if she "could EVER take u out"... so uhm not sure.. what u all are talkn about stating "she took u out" and didnt pay...

FYI.. I don't take men out.... Nor ask them out.

Nor I never stated it was a "mans JOB" to pay. Misquoted.

It is simple manners.
This is far beyond roles in dating, but it is so simple.

To bad it's come down to money it seemsnoway
Expectations kill everything.

BTW

I'm not responsible for how u feel.. never said you were mam
