Men, who do you believe should pay the dinner bill on our first date? Are there men out there that understands if the man pays it, you are not entitled to dessert later? Should the bill be discussed at all or is it a known fact that the man is going to pay?

The way that it should be done is who ever ask the other on the date should pay!

If it is a first meet say from online I feel that both parties should pay for their own... Makes it easier in the long run... :thumbsup:

is who ever ask the other on the date should pay!

Except, even under these circumstances, if he
did not at least offer, twould be the last time.

Lmao last date I went on about a month ago. I told the guy before that I would pay my own way and he could pay his right out front. Got there asked for separate checks he got upset. He said he wanted to pay for it and grabbed the check so I let him pay for it... OMG when I told him there would not be another date he throws up all I wanted was a free meal....slaphead Needless to say I brought up that I had in fact had the checks separated.

Just goes to show some will get pissy no matter who pays for what...

But yeah if they don't at least offer I would be a bit offended..well specially if it happens more then once...slaphead

I always pay. Dessert doesn't matter unless it is a special occasion where I am being treated and I know in advance (for example taking me out for my birthday or repaying a special favor). I usually pay then anyway.

Any man that expects sex for a dinner bill is a lowlife in my book.

Not entitled to dessert? But I love eating chocolate cake. My date probably would, too.

huh What century is this? What happened to sexual equality?

I've had women "suggest" a "bite to eat" rather than coffee after I've asked to meet them, and then had them show up without a cent in their pocket. I usually told them to put the bite on somebody else.

Ok....but let me ask this...

If I ain't gonna get laid, why am I taking you out?

Not to be to blunt but, if I am dropping hard earned dollars and spiffying up to impress a gal who got no interest in getting naked with me......why bother?

If I am gonna take out someone for a night on the town with no shot of getting laid.....I will take out my friends or my family ......I love them.

Dating a woman who may or may not end up loving me .....she better have something to throw on the table besides her "companionship "....cause if I just want someone to hang out with....that would be my brother, my sister or my friends. Some meaningless date is a waste of my time.

But, if the chick is paying for the dinner, drinks and dancing and I decide she ain't worth my time....then that is ok.

Betcha Gloria Steinam never saw that coming......

Hehehe

The man always pays...And he is graceful in doing so, expecting nothing in return.

GENTLEMEN know how to act. Seems "PROPER MANNERS & CHIVILARY" are lost on some of the male species. sorry for that ladies. BUT, there are some of us left. As shown byt the above quote.
