Hi,
What is the spending model in your dating? Your boyfriend is the one always pays, or most of the time he pays, or you both always pays for your own portion? My boyfriend and I pay separately for our own portion. I'm fine with this model as I know he is not a rich guy. Anyhow, if there is any special occasion, he will buy me dinner or lunch! :) How about you?

this is what me and the guy I am seeing do. We take turns paying like we went out last night and he bought the movie so I bought dinner. I think that way he isn't always shelling out money and neither am I.

My partner and I don't go on dinner dates, really. We prefer company when we go out and to spend time alone at home. However, the one 'date' we did go on, when we were on holiday and had to go to a posh restaurant to eat (I'm vegan so a pain to feed) I paid. I also paid for most of the holiday _
We're kinda poor, lol, so if one of us has a bit more money we'll pay for drinks when we're out with friends. Or we'll just buy the drinks in rounds.

Well last time we went out for dinner was about two weeks ago. We have a Duffys Sports Bar close by to where we live and everytime you go there to eat you get points on a card and then when you rack up enough points you can eat there for free. So last time we went out we ate for free.
If we dont eat for free since we barely ever do im always looking for coupons online for resturants we like so we can save money. We usually both pay, i say his money is mine and mine is his because weve been dating almost two years and now its like whatever really. Like almost husband and wife really. It does seem like that at times.

I and my hubby took turns while we were dating. I don't think there are set rules in dating that says who pays for what. I like to think of it like a comprimise or arrangement. We both give and take;-)
