Personally If I ask someone out for dinner then I pay myself (for the whole thing).. I would expect the person that asked ME out for dinner to pay. I think that's just manners.

Id be narked if they wanted to pay half each.. straight away I would think .. hmm tight git. scold

Actually I agree , I hadn't thought of that.. If someone had asked me for dinner and we didn't really hit it off (or whatever) then I would pay or go halves.

I PREFER to always pay to be honest, I hate the thought that someone might think I owed them in 'any way' because they had paid for my food.

if a guy asks a woman out for a meal or whatever, they aren't asking you because they want you to ówe them anything', it's for the pleasure of your company, if anything happens later all well and good but that's because you want it to, not because you feel duty bound to do sohug

Sorry Jacko, beg to differ. I know a gal here who tried internet dating and got exactly that response. Takes all kinds. Personally, if I went on a date, I would expect to pay for all of it. Old school. Might add, and expect nothing in return. If I didn't want to go I would have said no.

I am old fashioned. If a woman asked me out for a date, not as friends, but a date, I would pay. If we were just friends, split the check.
