Whoever requests the date pays for the date. Fair's fair. If someone asked me out, then demanded that I pay even half, I'd be a bit miffed. On the other hand, if I asked a guy out, I wouldn't expect him to spend anything. He can pay on the second date :)

in my mind, whoever initiates the date basically pays for it
if he/she approaches you, his/her money
if you approaches her/him your money
that makes the most sense to me
this, probably.
i'm dutch so i mostly go dutch ;) but it's also like, if someone asks to grab a bite i will assume to split the bill. if some asks me to treat me to dinner i will assume they pay. and that also gives me a chance to tell them if i'm okay with that or that i'd rather pay myself (to avoid giving the wrong impression).

Why would one person pay for two persons? It doesn't make sense to me.

Then again, I'm Dutch.

It's what my mother and father taught me.
This. Ironically, the parents thing was the opposite of yours. My parents were always worried that I would bankrupt myself in highschool.

I always pay on dates. If I was a woman, I'd still pay on dates. If I was broke then I wouldn't go on dates because I can't pay for it.

It's not just for dates. Whenever me and my friends go out for a bite to eat, I try to pick up the tab. If they say it's on them, then I pay them back the next day.

Whenever I go out on a date with my girlfriend, she pays the majority as she has a job and I do not.

Whoever starts or mentions the date/what to do. Like for say, if my girlfriend says that "hey, theres this awesome restaurant I want to go to- let's go" and she has to kind of convince me to go, then yea- she pays for dinner, while I'll pay for superfluous things like if I decide wine or some beer for us during the dinner- that's on my tab, what I bring to this dinner date.

At the same time if I suggest doing something like going out for the day and going ...somewhere? then yea, then I know that I'm basically going to pay for the majority of the night- because I'm taking her out, it's a mix of having fun yourself but also treating my girlfriend. There's always times when both of us are low on money so we can work out something to do or to separate pay, and that should always be alright to do.

I've been on dates before with other girls or with past girlfriends that have wanted to go out and do something or for dinner, etc- while I want to stay in and maybe make a dinner for ourselves, more intimate- but she insists and she's the one that decides we go out- but then I'm still expected to pay? That's bullshit, cos I never really agreed to this in the first place and had to be coaxed into doing this.

**
That said, a lot of people don't agree with this, but I still think that on a first date, no matter what- I will pay for the dinner or even the coffee, etc. It's just a nice gesture and a way to keep things memorable, shows some interest in how the date is going rather than just sitting back and being on autopilot.

Once you go dutch you never go back.

anyway I tend to pay for a lot, except when I don't have money. That's ok cause the women I meet always offer to pay themselves. Lately I taught myself to accept their offers more often.

I tend to pay the lion's share, really. I tend to have long distance relationships, though, and I'm partially payed back through train fare, among... other things.

I'm all for equality, but in the moment, I tend to call over the waiter and pay while she's in the toilet.

The guy pays for the date. You take your girlfriend out, you pay for her dinner, movie, or whatever. Do you get something in return? Its always nice if you do, but you never expect that.

I try to pay when ever we go anywhere, the only time that my Gf pays is when either I don't have money or she starts yelling at me for never letting her pay lol.

what does it matter who pays if your both there to enjoy each others company than it doesn't matter who pays now if you decide to go back to someones place than the guy needs to buy the sexual things like condoms, Vasaline, whips, chains, and whatever you need to show that you really want to make the woman happy.

cause you know sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me.
