Fellas, when a lady asks you out would you feel okay if she pays? I always thought if I asked a guy out , I should be the one to pay for the dinner or the movie.What do you think?

This sounds so funny. I'm a guy but I never do that to a girl. I think it will only happen if the lady is really in love with the guy. I can say that she is really frustrated just to be with the guy. In this case, the guy should not take advantage if that happens. If this will happen to me, I will not let the girl pay the bills, its a pride for me. Eventhough she was the one who ask me to go out, i will still be the one to pay the bills or if she do not want, we can share in paying the bills.

What if you don't make as much money as she does/ would you still insist on paying? i like splitting the bill. That way she gets to pay for some of it and your ride isn't hurt.

Well i think it's ok. I'm a gentleman but if just to make both of us at ease, why not? It's not really important on who's going to pay right as long as you had a great time. I do make sure that my date had a great time with me. Ok, you pay for the dinner then i pay for the movie. How's that? I think in this way, a bond is developed right? You know, the inhibitions will be lessened in a way that we can be upfront with eachother without really causing uneasiness.

That sounds great.it's a good compromise. One pays for dinner , the other the movie.I think it is so old fashioned to assume that a, the man Has to ask you out and b, he has to pay.It isn't fair. I think if two people can split the tab it is so much better.and then there isn't the worry about money, the worry is which restaurant and which movie.

We'll make a good dating couple! Hehe, I highly agree. It's all about being gentleman or generous or something. It's something about enjoying our time.

If she insists on paying, I would let her. From my point of view, a gentleman always pays.

Well,for me,as a man,I'd like to pay the bills when I go out with a lady no matter whether she asks me out or I ask her out,but if she insists that she pays,that would be ok,as long as we both feel comfortable.
