That's old school, This days we go out on dates the dutch style. Everyone pays for everything they have, or who ever has money at that time pays.

It's nice to know boys paid for a date but for me, it would be proper to give a share 'coz he might be thinking i am just using him 'coz of the treat.

Come on ! Gone are the days when the guys used to spend on their dates....but yes still some of them (boyz) take it as an issue But i think if we both are earning we can share the expense no matter in what ratio........ This way u can be dating more often........

I think it depends. If the boy asks the girl out, then I think he should pay for everything. However, if the boy and girl come to a general agreement about going out, then I think it's ok to split the bill unless one offers to pay for the entire thing.

I don't think that the guy has to pay on every date. But, in case of the first official date, the guy has to pay. And from the next date on wards, it can be paid turn by turn. But, the idea of the guy paying on every date sounds good...maybe cos m a girl:-)

I think it is courtesy that the guy would offer to pay for the bill in a gentlemanly manner, expecially the first date. The girl might accept, or might not. either way, the guy should be prepared for any. :) Now as for the girl, she in return should not always accept. She should offer to pay sometimes (especially if she is also earning her own money) and if possible go on dutch most of the time.

During the get to know stage, usually boys do pay most of the time during dates because he needs to create good impression for the girl. But i think when it comes to a relationship, there should be a give and take relationship. Like in my case, when we became a couple, i dont want him to keep on paying everytime we had a date. Sometimes i do pay and its not really hurting a persons ego. ITs just that, i want it to be fair for both of us. If ever he doesnt have enough money, i do pay and vice versa. I guess it works for us because we're still together and very happy.

I used to think that it if I let a man pay for everything on a date it would give him a false dominance in the relationship... I always liked being independent and wanted to show men that I don't necessarily need them for anything. But now I realize, that having a man pay for everything on a date shows how stable they are and how much money they make. Depending on where they take you and how often you date you will be able to tell whether or not they can support you or take care of a child if you accidently get pregnant. If I would have insisted that my current man paid for all of our dates I would have realized he was a loser alot sooner, and I woulnd't be in the mess I am in right now...

I've always believed that whoever asked for the date should pay for it. When I was single I never initiated a date with anybody thus I end up getting treated always. I was too shy to ask for a date. Anyway, even if I would always insist to share something...like pay for what I ate or I could pay for movies or desert. But then as I said, they would say no and thus I end up getting a free ride =).

Personally I offer to share in paying the bill most in particular on a first date. I look at it as a sign of independence and that I can take care of myself. Even if we are already a couple we split the bill half not unless my date insists that he pays the bill. Moreover I think your date will view this as a sign that you are not really after his money or you are just there for a free dinner and that if ever you become a couple you are willing to contribute materially and emotionally in the relationship.

It's a big no to me. Because most of the time i have with my share for a date. Boy sometimes do this specially when in a first date. But girls should be also considerate that we girls do our share but not all the time..

i do pay out on my dates. but wat i feel is if the girl too wud want to pay out it wud be better cuz money isn't free for any of us.. i wud be glad to pay more but i wud want her to share a part of it. and it wudn't let me get bugged up after few days. cuz once we keep paying its like we wud get a dominance kinda thing n wud actually spoil the relation.
