Not hardball neon.. just the way we were raised. In our day girls didn't even CALL guys!

That's the truth. NEVER would have thought about having to pay for dinner! 'the times, they are a changin'.

im old fashioned and believe the guy should pay. i always bring money just in case though and offer to pick up tip or whatever b/c you never know if he feels the same.

I have money with me too, Winnie. But if I have to pick up the check, it's going to be our second date. the first and the last!

I like to pay, like i said in my first post. as long as I got a job and money keeps coming I got no problems.

Maybe it's my southern upbringing too.

REAL men pay! Thats all there is to it. I may not be a super model but I have NEVER payed for a date. Women spend money too on clothing to look nice for the date!

Well yeah Thumper, if shes just using you and you know it then I agree stiff her with the bill. LOL

I agree mry. I've never paid either. Wonder how men from our generation feel about the question? Dating used to be serious business, and men were proud to be able to take you out, and didn't mind paying. Do they still feel that way?

That's true,, we really haven't heard from any men of our generation.

I say the guy should pay. BUT I have no problem paying for myself.

Honestly TSW I think most men at least in our age group do. Geeze at least I hope so! LOL I recently dated a guy about 8 years younger than I and he had no problem paying.

LOL, If they ask me to pay THEY CAN'T AFFORD ME!! I hope all the young girls are taking notes! Why would they want to support their man?
