You're a guy on a date. Who pays?

[squeekenator]

The man should pay it all. It's the gentlemanly thing to do.

Also, the woman should stay at home all day, cleaning the house, looking after the kids and making sandwiches. Because it's the ladylike thing to do.

...

Sorry, I've just been informed that that's bullshit. Never mind.

 

[Michael Hirst]

If I'm doing well for money I'll pay. If not I prefer to go halfway. Sometimes I offer to pay the full amount to test the girl, it's surprising how often they offer to go halfs, it's only a small gesture but it can say a lot about the girl.

 

[foolish snails]

As a High-schooler, I treat girls now and then just because they like that but when I stick with a girl for a while we usually either pay our own bills or take turns. It's not a perfect system, but it works for me.

 

[Queen Michael]

I always offer to pay. I expect her to try and pay, though; in this day and age I don't think anybody should leech off somebody else.

 

[platinawolf]

Tough one... Probably whoever expects to be on top ^^* Or 50/50 split.

 

[Sacman]

No one pays... I'd dine and dash...<.<

 

[emeraldrafael]

It depends who asks who out and if there is a prior arrangement to it, but if I ask her outa nd she doesnt say anything, I pay.

usually the girl tips then without me asking, but if they dont I tip too.

 

[DementedSheep]

It depends on the circumstances. Usually I find it easiest if people just pay for their own or split the cost 50/50 but If I have money and the guy dose not or is saving and wants me to pay then I?ll pay for both, its not a big deal. I don?t like people paying for my meals. It?s unnecessary . Woman can have decent jobs now, there is no reason for the guy to pay for everything.

 

[z121231211]

Of course I do, because anyone who dared to go out with me deserves a free meal.

 

[YawningAngel]

In my experience, most people from "our generation" split 50/50

 

[Buttmunch Chicken]

Sure you can do that, just don't be surprised if you don't get a second date.

 

[LaughingJester]

No one pays... I'd dine and dash...<.<

HAHAHA gold!

 

[latenightapplepie]

p.s I have written this from the guys perspective because I AM A GUY, but my escapist sisters please drop your comments too!

I am a guy. And I almost always pay an equal share on dates. Because I date other guys, and there's no awkward gender politics.

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

Usually I split it or work out a system. Like if I pay for the film she pays for popcorn and snacks. But that does not mean I can't treat my gf by paying for everything when I can afford to

 

[mussics]

1. Excuse yourself to the toilet.
2. Find a window.
3. Escape through that window.
4. ?????
5. PROFIT!

 

[Svenparty]

Usually the chloroform means I have to pay...

I noticed that I ended up paying the majority of the time for dates because otherwise I'm probably not going to be able to go out with the girl if she has no money.

 

[FamoFunk]

Whoever asked should pay tbh.

Joint decision? Split it or pay for your own.

Honestly, I would hate to be asked out by a bloke who I was "getting on with" and expected to pay. You asked me.
If we both agreed to go out, I'd feel awfully rude about not paying or at least offering.

 

[poleboy]

Whoever has more money. I think (hope) we are past the days where going on a date with a woman was a sort of trial run, where you get to prove you have enough money to "buy" her from her father.

If you're both poor, go dutch. If you're both rich, you don't need to ask this question.

 

[TheTim]

I always pay when i go out with my girlfriend, mainly because i have more money.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

I usually offer to pay myself but they usually say something like "Oh no that's fine I'll pay half" then after some fake insisting I let them pay. It's just easier that way.
