Who pays?

I pay my own way unless my date indicates he would like to pay for both of us. I don't think it's fair to expect one or the other to pay for both. One person might make less money than the other one. If you can't pay your own way on a dinner date, order something you can afford. Check the appetizers or order a small salad. Watch out for the high cost of beverages. Last time I ordered a diet coke, I received a small glass of the beverage. When I saw my bill, I couldn't believe it. The restaurant charged me $2.00 for a crummy coke! Enter relationships without expectations. The standard used to be, the man paid. But this is a new world and women have as much responsibility to pay for a date as the man. (considering finances) Some men get insulted if the woman offers to pay her own way. The boundaries of the relationship take time to form, so from the beginning, assume nothing. A mutual agreement about money matters helps the relationship as it grows.

To me it depends on who did the asking. If i asked a guy out i would want to pay, but if he asked me i would want him to pay.

When I was single, if I asked a girl on a date, I would pay. I never thought that my money would "get" me some, I don't think that way. But if we were talking about going out and we met somewhere then dutch it was. I use to meet girls for lunch, if it didn't work out I only wasted an hour of my time.
