When you ask someone out on a "romantic" date who takes care of the bill?

Whoever did the asking offers to pay

If I ask then I am paying.

D person who asks

Whoever asks, offers, but if they asked, id still try and split the bill. And if they do and try to split the bill, let them, as it can seem really patronising if you insist on paying.

If I ever got a date and I'd asked the person out then I'd pay for the entire evening no matter what she said, even if she offered I'd still pay for it all

I would think that if you know this person pretty well they would still want to pay. If you don't know them all that well, offer to go dutch.

If I ask anyone, I would not expect them to pay when I invited them...

Whoever does the inviting pays the bill.

If I asked, then I'd pay...even on a platonic date.

Being a guy and the way I was raised I would.

@Steve... let her pay if she wants to pay, please? Sometimes that is important for women.

me with some share from her.

I would offer to split.

wtf... I'm always paying. Especially if I'm out with my kids
