Often, when boys and girls are hanging out for the coffee or anyting, the boys are assumed to pay the bill. My friends always think that if the guy did not pay the bill for the 1st time, no need to go out with him for the 2nd time.
I feel a little embarrassed that I request the male to pay the bill if you are not in the relationship and also he did not propose the request to pay the bill.
How about you? Will you propose actively to pay the bill if you date a girl out? If you are a girl, will you accept that you pay the bill? Who you think will pay the bill?

Okay...if it's a DATE, then the person who initiated the whole "Let's go on a date" thing (often the guy) should pay. If it's not a DATE (key word being date), I think the bill should be split. On the other hand, if you (as a girl) asked the guy out on a date, YOU are expected to pay.
If the guy doesn't offer to pay for me, I'll willingly split the cheque, but I'll make a mental note of it...especially if it's at an expensive restaurant.

If I am on a single date with a girl I do offer to pay the bill,but in a group we generally go Dutch and there are no hard feelings as the girls earn as much themselves as the boys and there are no disputes. In fact in my household my wife handles all the cash and it is she who foots the bill when we go out to dine.

Hello, Sasalove, If it's the first time of dating, I do think man should pay for the bill, if the relationship are built, I think it's good no matter who pay for that. I am very easy going with this, back to the date my boyfried date me, I pay for the bill quite often, and also try to lower down the expense if possible.
