Let say that you a couple have a dinner. And who should pay for the dinner?? Do guys have always to pay for his girl?? Isn't that too demanding if girl always ask her boyfriend to pay for every dinner in date?? How do you think if you were guys?? Will you always pay for your date with your girlfriend??

I think most guys pay because they are in the roll of the provider. It is the way they was brought up by the parents.So they pay out of respect to the girl/woman they are interested in. Most guys do not want to go out a lot if they have no money, it make them feel bad about themself. If the woman ask the man out it is okay for the man to let the woman pay. If the guy asks the female out he should have the money to pay for the dinner or just not ask her out. He could find others ways to be with her than ask her out so he can get a free meal.. If you have a guy who asks you out and he has no money then you need to have a talk with him.He should respect you enough to find other ways to be with you without costing you money or he should get off his a*s and get a job. If he has a job he needs to manage his money better or get another job that pays more. Do not get me wrong I have paid for a meal a few times but it was due. He paid a lot of times and I beat him to the bill.... I do not know if any girl asks the guy to pay the bill. If you ask someone out then most times you pay, the person who asks. If dating most of the time the guys pays, that is just the way it is. If living together both pay same with marriage.

offcourse and definetly boy should be paying for the date else it wouldnt be look good . well there are people who dont pay or their girl freind pays everything but it just depend on the matter of the relation ship. well for me there should be the 2 situation where boys shouldnt be paying the date, 1st could be the situation when boy dont have money for it or he is in financial crisis. 2nd situation could be that boy is not serious about the girl and just playing around. and if he is serious and he is able to pay the date then belive me ... boys should be paying their date bill.

I agree with your opinion brother, sometimes we might let our girlfriend to pay for it. Relationship between both couple is to help each other, isn't it? One of my friend is crazy about this matter. He always never pay anything to his girlfriend, what a pity, doesn't it? But this is the truth, i almost don't believe what i heard before. His girlfriend always pay for dinner, dating, vacation, hotel, etc. Think that what a wonderful life he has . . .

If u are going on the date for the first time with the girl, then guys must pay.It is a thumb rule, i dont think any girl would be impressed if she had to pay the bill. But once u are in a relationship, it is ok if the girl pays once in a while.
