Should guys pay when on dates?

[70spurple]

yes . chivalry is not dead

[Daffodil]

Sometimes I pay but sometimes he does. Sometimes we split. It always works for us

I usually let the guy pay on the first date, especially if he asked me out, but I always offer anyways. Most guys won't let you pay. I always insist on paying for the second date, and guys who respect me will let me.

Fun story -- My friend's ex their first date out (he asked her), he asked her to pay for her own meal because "he was broke". He then conveniently on the drive home from the restaurant stopped in at a store and bought a 100 dollar bong She stayed with him for almost two years until she got fed up with how much of an asshole he was. He hated feminism, so if you said you agreed with feminism (which my friend did), he would not be a gentleman. No opening doors, no paying for meals, no pulling out chairs, etc. He said both can't coexist.

I don't think it should be expected every time. Women scream equality, so pay up too.

I don't think anyone SHOULD pay for another adult, I always offer to split the bill but I must admit it does leave a good impression on me if they insist and pay anyway, HOWEVER it does not leave any sort of bad impression if they don't it's just neutral and fine.

Edit: I'm talking first few dates. I've been with my partner for 3years and whoever has the card or cash handy/closest pays, he tends to pay more often because I'm a student and he has more disposable cash, if it were the other way around it would be the other way around

I think so yes, it's the gentlemen thing to do.

[Dragonair]

Of course they don't, when i'm on a date it is 50/50 or each one pay yours

[rabbitfires]

No. In my opinion people should pay for their own meals and drinks. I'd feel extremely uncomfortable if someone paid for my food and drinks, even if on a date.

I don't think guys should be expected to pay.
If they offer or insist, then that's ok.

I prefer to split personally.

If the person drove out to see me and drives us around, I offer to pay.

Haven�t read many responses here is my two cents,

Yes the male should pay for every date before a title is agreed. Meaning the dude should pay all of the dates while he is still trying to woo the girl into a relationship. After that it should be acceptable to let the girlfriend treat, you buy dinner she buys movies, etc.

My view on this is new. I�ve always been super old fashioned and paid for everything. Only after my most recent relationship I�ve seen it can actually hurt more than impress. After a while it should be 50/50 in every aspect of the relationship.
