Just drop me off at the mall!!!

Myself, I am a fan of each person paying for what they ordered unless otherwise stated. I mean, if it is said before the date that it's on one of the people dating, then they of course should keep that promise.

Usually, I believe in equality now days.

Especially since chivalry was dragged into the street and shot years ago.

If you ask the person out then you should be willing to pay. So if I ask a guy out, I expect to pay but if he ask me out I expect him to pay.

That's fine, though you'll probably want to make it clear before the date that each will be paying their own way. Looks like most women assume the man will pay.

If I'm interested in a woman and ask her out then I pay, the other way should be the same.

What happened to equality, freedom to women, don't want to be treated differently, same job same money, woman power, does all those gain for women equality go out the door when it comes to things that are to your advantage.

I'm a woman equal if not better than a man but you should pay lunch it's your responsibility since you are the man.

If you've read the thread, you'll see that there are women who are willing to pay as well.

I'm old fashioned I like to pay for the night out

if i ask u out then i pay
but if you ask me out then you pay.
but 1st dates guys should pay

Ahum! What year is this?! Equal rights, equal pay on dates! Stop the double standard.

ya equality!!! You can say that all you want but there is and will always be a double standard. When a man pops out a baby and stays home and takes care of it and the house and has a job at the same time then I will believe it!!!

OK I did all that EXCEPT the "pop out" part ... does that make it anymore right , or wrong?? on the equality part I mean
If I ask out , I pay, ... IF I am asked out ?.. I pay ... just the way I was brought up , its not right or wrong , its just the way I am

sorry tall guy but you had to feel the pain as well.....if you want it to be equal!!!!! Now where did I put that watermellon???

All you men who are complaining about women not paying for dates... are you bringing up this subject with them women you're dating?

Any time Jon and I go out and I reach for my wallet, he asks the waiter "What day is it?" and when the waiter tells him, he looks at me and says...........

"Didn't you get the memo?? That says you can't pay on a _____day!! Sorry about that."

But I have paid for other dates before.

I don't see anything wrong with the man paying.
some of us are just that way.

"Never look a gifted horse in the mouth"

One way or another we all pay when we're dating....believe me!!!

yes,the women is paying !
mcd's 99cent cheesebuger....i might be easy but im not cheap !

does this mean a guy has to feel obligated to put out LOL

If I ask the lady out/plan the event; I pay.

If the lady asks me out/does the planning, I let her pay, if she wants.
Some ladies want to feel independant & if that helps, I don't argue.
That is a just occasional thing.

I wanted to revisit this topic...

I've already said that I expect to pay for any dates I have.

However, I wanted to propose something, and see what other people think about it.

My new girlfriend is about two hours from me. If I go THERE, then maybe she should pay for the night? And if she comes HERE, then I pay for the night...since the commuting person is already having to pay out for gas there and back?

Yeah, one date so far, and I've already asked if she'd ever want to come out HERE to see me. She said yes...but I still have alternate plans available. Like meeting somewhere in between.
