So first date,......................
You go to a restaurant for dinner, do you expect the guy to pay or do you at least offer to split the bill, me personally I would think more of my date if she offered to split it, but I would cover the full cost being an old fashioned gent,....

I know it is a contradiction, but maybe I am old fashioned as well.
I would of course pay for the drinks if we were going out afterwards.
And over time, if we were dating, it would even itself out.
If I didn't want to meet him again, I don't think it would be fair to let him pay.
We'd just both pay our share and go our separate ways. No harm done.
If a man invited me out to dinner and I pulled out my wallet to pay my half and he didn't balk, I must admit I would wonder if he's a cheap skate. It might influence my decision as to whether to go out with him again. Must be an old mindset that is stuck in here somewhere.
If you don't like someone you don't want to be under any obligation of any sort.
If you do like him, his wanting to pay is a way of him saying he likes you too, wants to make this an ongoing thing.
Any clearer?
Probably not
But I would say a woman who insists on splitting the bill with you might not be bowled over by you ....
I m still chuckling to myself about asking a girl out to buy me supper,
Except when the coffee reached the table, my wallet wasn't in my bag. I'd dropped it back at the restaurant. He had to buy the coffees as well
But at the same time, if the lady really wants to split it, you should go with it.
@Molly, Im not sure I could do that,......
But the seat pulling always discombobulates me
I don't think it makes it easier, more difficult if anything
So I have to be quite insistent on the chair thing
The rat wouldn't have been alive if it was my cat
I rarely go on dates, and even rarely go for dinner on a first date.
However, on the couple of coffee dates I did go on, I paid.
