If that is your first date bringing along your purse,right now
you are everyman dream.....put the money in your BRA!!!
Why are you going to let him know you got a bank account....
Everymans DREAM, I tell ya.....

I think that perhaps whoever asked the opposite sex on a date should
pay. At least that's what my father taught me!

I'm a traditional gal, I'd expect my date to pay.

Well, I am raised with the mentality that the man supposed to pay. It's
a shame for the man in my country, if the woman has to pay for him. And
its another story when you live with this person, than it woyldnt matter
who actually is paying. But I learned in this country to pay my bills.
You wanna be independant woman, pay your bills. Dont wait alwais the man
to do it.

It's simple...YOU PAY!

Who pay? I pay if I invite the guy out. But he pays if he invites me
out. If we are meeting somewhere, I pay for my stuff. If he wants to pay
and insists, I am good with that too. This whole question about who pays
is kind of silly. Why not tell the person up front if you are worried
about it. Start out clear with them.

let's put it this way from the guy's point of view.

if you like the person (i'm assuming that why you invited them out in
the first place), you should do the right thing and pay.

if your date protests, it shows that they're thoughful and you should
pay anyway.

---
if you have the date from hell, it's your call whether you want to go
dutch.

though i usually pay anyway.
an evening of weird entertainment is hard to come by these days.

Candy and anyone else out there that thinks they should be able to be
taken care of by a man. Yes it would be nice to be taken care of hell I
hate working sometimes, but then again, I hold a full time job and
raising 3 girls by myself. So I have alot of work lol But the point is
that if you always stay dependant on someone else what happens when you
no longer have that person? You will probably rush into other
relationships out of fear and lonliness. Always retain a certain amount
of independance for yourself, you'll feel better about yourself and it
may help you later down the road.

call me old fashioned but i like to pay ,open doors and pull out chairs
thats how my parents raised me .and thats how im raising my son and you
cant tell me any guy who pays for a night out doesnt get brownie points
ill tell you youre smoking somethin and not sharing with the rest of the
group heheheh

any respectable guy pays its a good old school rule!!

i think who ever asked the other person out should pay. just as a rule
i've always paid but it's always nice when they offer.

This is a real hard one for me now days. I used to pay for everything
but how many high schoolers do you know who worked 2 part time jobs for
40+ hours a week. My ex worked and helped with the bills until she could
not work with our first child. after that she stayed home and took care
of the kids until they went to school(in between sets of kids). It just
seemed right in every way for me to work extra hard for my kids to have
a full time mom.

But now I am disabled on a limited budget. Every penny counts. I know I
will pay for the first date but there will have to be dutch dates to
follow. I would never expect her to pay for my dinner until long into
the relationship on special occations(like my bday, fathers day, ect).
So like many others have said the sign of the times is both people have
to work and pay the bills so you may as well start sharing
responsability now.

I think that the guy should pay each and everytime maybe I am old
fashion but that is the way that I feel.

whoever asked out the person should pay. If you guys are dating, well,
who cares?

I USED TO KNOW A GUY WHO WOULD SAY FORGET DINNER, I'LL JUST BUY EM A
HOUSE CAUSE THEY ARE GONNA END UP WITH IT ANYWAY

If the place is a cheap place, then Ill let him pay for it but still
insist in paying my half...but if its an expensive place then I dont
expect him 2 pay for my half.

you are like the hottest jailer ever

I have to agree with lionsbrew brownie points are won when he asks me
out, open doors, and pulls out chairs. Will I pay? absolutely but it
tells me a little something about him by his reaction to it.I paid for
movie tickets once and the guy said it was refreshing not to have the
whole burdon placed on him.

you should see some of the ones at a county jail here in michigan

men should always pay IMO for at least the first date.
