On a date who should pay

i think whoever takes the other person out...pays if i wanted to take out my boyfriend for dinner or sumthing i would pay, if he takes me out..i still offer to pay but he does, thats just my opinion, i dont want my boyfriend paying for everything for me, it makes it look like i'm using him for his money, which i'm not!

Who has invited/planned for the date...! Or one who has more income, can pay for other (nevermind if he is boufriend). And in married life we generally don't have DATE, we just have dinner, obviously husband will pay. I don't think both distinguish in their income,atleast we don't.

It depends on the couple. We take turns on who pays.

If you are going out with your girlfirend of course you pay the bill,if you are going out with a friend,each pays his bill,everything depends of the situations!

i depends on who asked to go out and have dinner! if it's me who asked i would pay the bill but if it's my boyfriend he would pay for it! and sometime i do give share on the bill because i dont like other people paying for it. and i dont like burden my boyfriend because he's only getting money from his allowance cause he doesnt have work yet!

Because it has been the norm that guys were the ones who do those things I mean guys have to because eventually they would become the breadwinner.

I always pay on a date, unless my wife insists on taking me out. It's what a gentleman would do.

I think if the guy ask a girl out for the first time then he should pay for it. But once they are comfortable there is nothing wrong with the woman stepping up to the plate and offering to pay the bill or at least splitting the bill. I use to do it when I was dating before I was married. Now if a girl asked the guy out she should pay but the gentlmen thing to do is the guy should offer. giggles

I really don't mind sharing the bill, if we have discussed it previously, and it's a place we can both afford.

i don´t know the source of this "tradition" but it is one. when u r going for diner you have to pay. sorry i have no problem in this circumstance.

For the first date you might want to give impression to your girlfriend, so you must pay for the date. Do it until your 10th date. And if you are already know deeper each other you can allow your girlfriend to pay if she wants to, but normally, boys must pay for a date.. since you are the one who will support her in the future...

i dont have any such reservations of who should pay and who should not, i just leave it like that ,usually we sahre if not she will give away the amount and at times i use to give.
