On a first date, any cost should be split between both

If a man asked me out on a date and expected me to pay for half of it, that would be our last date. I would not have any respect for him after that.

I would rather prefer the initiator or inother words the person who ask for date to shoulder the responsibility. If the other person should feel to contribute. It is welcome.

Hi Faridii. I think on the first date. Since this is the first, out of courtesy, man should pay everything first. I don't know. I offered to have my share, but usually, they pay everything, and that is important and a plus factor for me, I can say. But if he happened to accept my share, that's just fine with me. No issue.

usually my boyfriends were the ones who pay the entire bill during our first date... :) i think guys should spend more during dates especially during first dates

I think it should be 50/50 aswell. I know a lot of guys like to "be a gentleman" and pay for all of it. Whilst us girls think this is very sweet, we also want to make sure we pay our way! So at least let us pay for something!

I know guys really like to pay for all the bill, but I never let them do it because I think in the modern world its not necessary. Men and women have the same earning potential nowadays and I feel terrible if I let the guy pay for everything. I feel like I'm being a gold digger!! I know that I am not and it was his choice, but for some reason if makes me feel terrible. It's really sweet of men to do it and I appreciate it, but I always persuade them to split the bill.
