Who should pay for the dates?

Philippines
November 1, 2018 8:13am CST
I was thinking of a good discussion to post so I asked Google for help. For today, let's talk about first day of dating. I'm not sure other country's tradition but here in the Philippines, most of the time guys pay for dates. Here is the thing. I was scrolling my Facebook page and I happened to see a post of a woman. She mentioned that the guy who she dated for the first time was asking for a refund. So what happened was, the guy voluntarily paid for their meal however, I think the lady wasn't interested in the guy so she probably said she's not interested in any second date. After few days, she received an email from that guy with a photo of the receipt and is asking for a refund. So for guys, what is your honest thoughts about this? And why do guys insist, most of the time, in paying the bills. For ladies, what do you think about this one? And, are you the type that let's the man pay for everything during dates or the type who prefers to split the bill? Share your thoughts below. ^_^

I believe both should as in if he pays now then I'll make sure to pay the next time. It should be equal.

@Hannihar I know things like this happens. It just so happens that the lady posted it on Facebook. It was surprising how the man asked for a refund after the lady said no to a second date, on top of that it was done through email.

During my younger and single years, I experienced dating a person but he shouldered it all the bills

Hi. Thank you for sharing this. If you don't mind me asking, did the guy say anything about paying the bills?

I remember that post too. I haven't been in a date in a long time yet, I've always asked first who is going to pay. When he says, I will, I say ok but, the second round is on me. I don't want the similar situation as this woman

You saw the post as well? Isn't kinda a funny story? I mean, things like this should be settle before they ordered anything or as soon as they got the receipt.

@sevenonine8 True. Anyway, he must have reasons why he asked for a refund after the lady said no to him.

@IncredKaren I know! I guess, it happened to him too many times or he was really into her. It's really funny and silly from his side but, who am I to judge
