I argue a lot with my friends that the bills should be divided by the two partners on the date But they say is outrageous.Why would a man take you out and at the end of the day wants to spilt the bills?It not done that way.Well, People with their different views.
Who should always pick the bill? the man or woman?

I think it should depend on what one can afford. If the man has an income and the woman doesn't, or vice versa, I wonder who has to pay the bill. 
If they both work and can afford, then nothing wrong with splitting.
I think it's good manners to expect to pay the bill if you were the one inviting the other to dine out. That's common in the south of Italy: if I invite you, I'm glad to have you there and don't want you to worry about the bill. Then I'd like you to invite me the next time, but as you wish. 
Personally, I've always been in favor of splitting, but after so many gentlemen offering to pay everything, I've become a spoiled girl who often expects the man to "do that step".

No question ever has a 100% agreed on answer. And this question is no different.
My boyfriend believes he should always pay, but while I like that most days, I don't always let him.

It depends on the relationship. Sometimes my partner pays for it, sometimes I do. We don't have a set rule to it. When I know he doesn't have money, I go and pay for it. He'd do the same as well although he does like to be the one to pay for food when we eat out because I buy our groceries and his man stuff. So yeah. We're pretty much even in that department.

@augusta123 my late father told me that we men are most vulnerable when we are trying to win somebody's love, i would do anything to win the love of the girl I like and i mean almost anything, money and paying for things is nothing to me, that's the reason there's a term " madly in love"

@augusta123 well i can say that neiher is immoral. Whatever works for the couple is fine. Most guys dont think about that that much if they're already in a relationship. But it's a different story when they're still in courting phase. :)
