You ask, you pay
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.

@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.

@SumTingWong 😳 well ok then and yes you’re right a good gf does do lots of other things…things to make his life easier and vice versa.
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!

@SageWanderer That's why I specified under 40. But hey, respect.

@unregisteredhypercam4 I understand and know that financial issues are different in your age group.

@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.

@KentuckyFriedFloozy why dont you allow anyone to pay for you?
KentuckyFriedFloozy · 26-30, F
@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.

Not really, but it does depend on the region.

At the same time we should be asking if women are expected to put out if they do?
