My friend told me her romantique story. One day, she went out her classroom, there was a boy whom she talked with him once in the class waiting for her. He was so nervous and hoped to invite her to have a cup of coffee. But he told her that she had to pay by herself. Do you think my friend's boyfriend should pay for her?

Yes, I do think he should pay for your friend's coffee if he invited her! It's not as if it's a whole meal, or a big night out - just a cup of coffee. If he wants to be a gentleman and wants her to feel she means something to him, he should definitely buy her coffee - even if it means he has to save up!

Plus, nobody likes a mean person. That's the worst trait I could imagine in a man, so I wouldn't go on another date with someone who was too stingy to buy me a coffee!

He should treat her that cup of coffee. Well, to get the good side of her at least. Dutch treat I think is for close friends. But if you're trying to invite a girl then it is just courteous to treat her for the day.

Duh!!!?? Yes, the boy should pay. He is the one who made the invitation. It is only proper manners. Why bother asking if he is not prepared to pay for the date?

For the first date I think it's proper for the man to pay for the woman but i also think it's proper for the woman to offer just to show she isn't taking advantage of him. They guy is supposed to decline and he pays! After being in a relationship for a while beleive me it works out pretty evenly as they will start taking turns on paying. But Yes, the guy should NOT ask out a girl and then tell her she has to pay for herself. That's just tacky!
