She asks, you offer to pay regardless. If she insists, ask her if you can cover the tip.
Either way, if you’re a man, you should be prepared to pay in either scenario.
My wife and I both have good jobs. We had our own rule. Your town, you pay. Most of the time that was fun and worked. If we were going somewhere very expensive, I picked up the check no matter what the location was.
On vacation we just tried to have some semblance of fairness based on overall spending.
I'm a big fan on the one to initiate the date to be the one who offers to pay. I'm okay with a split as well, but I think the offer should at least be extended by the one to ask. Naturally that's a first date thing. Dynamics after that are between individuals.
I think splitting is more the expectation these days though.
Absolutely. I tried walking out of a supermarket without paying for a bag of dates, and the store manager threatened to call the cops. Men should always pay for dates!
@FreeorLonely No. Disagree. A Gf "pays her guy back" in a dozen ways everyday. Little things we ever think of. So the guy should pay for every date.... every part of it. No matter what it costs.
@vetguy1991 Did you ever get in trouble when you didn't pay? The manager at my supermarket threatened to call the cops when I almost walked out of the store with a bag of dates I didn't pay for.
@Chiefjustice because I feel comfortable paying for myself. I don't like feeling like owing people anything. Even if they don't see it that way, I do. A Lannister always pays their debts.
