The person who asks their partner on a date should be the one to pay first. They did invite you to a nice dinner or whatever so it's only fair. After a while though, you two should start paying your own shares. You can't expect someone to pay for it all every single time, nor should you be expected to always have to pay either.

I am in total agreement. The person that asks should pay for the first date. After that it should be shared. Maybe one person pays one day and another the next.

@MarsSword: And only if, out of the goodness of ones heart, they request to pay for it in full, then you should be able to allow that person to pay for it all, but only if they really insist on doing so.

@Caine: I just think if you are going out regularly it makes more sense to take turns paying than it does to always pay for your own. Obviously this doesn't work if somebody is buying really expensive stuff all the time when you are paying. But if they aren't able to consider that then maybe they aren't a good partner. It also doesn't make sense if one person make significantly more money and has more expensive taste. Because then the person who makes less can't afford to keep it up. In that case the person who makes more should pay more often.
