    It shouldn't be absolutely expected that guys pay on dates.

    It definitely shouldn't be looked down on if a guy wants to split the bill.

    It's nice when a guy pays though.

    I'm all for paying. If I'm into you, then I'm going to flatter you, whether it's when going on a date, picking up Taco Bell on the way over, or just picking her up a toy or some cute shit for her. Gonna flatter her.

    Regardless, I don't think guys should be obligated to pay. But I myself will always pay.
    I agree with this!

    Although I personally find it uncomfortable when someone offers to pay for me. I don't want to feel as if I owe anyone. I'd rather pay for myself, but I don't mind getting treated way later on in the relationship.

    I think it's just best to assume the "if you ask 'em out you pay" rule unless you actually have a discussion about what the two/group prefers.

    As a guy who dates guys, and is in a long term relationship with another dude, our rule is to take it in turns, but sometimes we'll give each other a challenge (usually best 2 out of 3 in a game match) and the loser has to buy the next date dinner.

    I don't know. I've never been in a relationship before nor have i ever been on a date, but I'm in favor of taking turns? That's what I do when I'm out with my friends. But hey if he wants to pay, I won't really mind. Free food yaw

    I prefer to split it, but I won't really argue if they insist on paying. Hey, free meal.

    I prefer splitting. Tho I will pay depending on how the situation feels and how I feel about the person. Also taking turns is cool as things progress.

    Splitting seems like the nice thing to do. Agree on a place beforehand so there's no surprises. But I've been married now for 2 years, so I don't have much perspective on this one. Dating in adulthood is hard these days!

    Personally I prefer to pay on dates. But it doesn't mean that the guy should always pay. I think, it's also absolutely normal to split the bill. Not so long ago I met amazing gal from Ukraine here (you need an account to see links) and I'm going to visit her soon and organize smth special for her. Nobody makes me, I just like taking care of my gal.

    I'm glad the trope of having guys pay for their dates died.

    While I don't mind splitting, I prefer taking turns on paying for things. It's less hassle for the server + it's kind of cute when you or your boyfriend says "it's together" to the cashier (if we're going takeout).
