Do guys care if the girl pays for dinner/the date?

Yesterday my boyfriend drove down for the day (we live 3 hours from each other) so we went out to breakfast, went into the city, and then later went out to dinner. Since he drove down, I told him I'll pay and he tried to argue it, but I insisted. Do guys actually care about not paying?

It doesn't really matter who pays the tab IMO once you're in a committed relationship. Everything in the relationship is reciprocal at that point.

Obviously if paying for the meal is a financial burden on her that would be a different situation altogether.

I think societal values have yet to catch up with the narrowing of the income gap.

No he shouldn't care.

Personally no, I'm quite happy to either treat or be treated. We are all equal, aren't we?

I think girls shouldn't always expect the guy that pay, it should be a give and take. However I have had 2 guys get seriously upset with me when I have offered to pay, but I just don't think it should always be on one person.

@NewBeginnings77: Yes. I suppose it depends on how upset they were.

@chris62ca: Both seemed really offended and insulted. Told me to get that shit out of there and not to ever fucking do that again.

For the first few months my GF and I dated I payed for everything. After a while she started insisting on paying as well, and now we just take turns.

On the first and second date, I always pay, but if the woman offers to buy the refreshments, after I have bought the movie tickets, then it's cool.

@GypsyKing: at that point, you would just tell the waitress you were a pimp and she works for you. LOL
