It all depends on the date he's with, some women want and need to be independent so you would split it, whereas other like the man to pay, I don't think its a big deal either way as long as the man does not expect something "Extra" just cause he picked up the tab.wine

I make it a point of paying MY share when I get the feeling that´s the case. And won´t see the guy again.

Otherwise, it´s however you feel comfortable. He pays this time, I pay the next, or split, or pay, whatever. To each their own. I have no problem in paying for anything as long as I´m not being mooched.

That would be dishonest on her part so it´s best for you that she showed you who she really is. You´re much better off without her.

laugh I know how you feel laugh... its actually not easy and can make us feel a little awkward.. but it has to be done.... In my opinion anyway....if a guy doesn't think enough of you to offer to treat you a little on the first date of all dates, then I would not hold out much hope for the future of the relationship.....I think guys have to be reeeeaaally motivated to commit to a girl, in other words they have to really like the girl.... being too mean to buy dinner... very bad sign....

Daniel4021: I always pay for everything on dates..

As sweet and kind as I would expect from you Daniel.... teddybear... be careful though.. you can be too giving and spoil a girl into expecting constant handouts.... relationships should evolve into mutually giving things.. even if a girl can't afford fancy restaurants.. one would expect that she would be offering to at least cook dinner on occassion... all give by either party tends to not work also.. give and take is best..
