lusciousmile: I'm african, you'll probably need to pay for that first bill.

Sorry! Anyway, if it stings too much, you probably shouldn't be asking 'me' out.
I'll need a cab too.



Kidding!

Always? Not necessarily ...
Haven't read the other replies, so not sure if this has been said or not - but, I think if the man asks the woman out on a first date, he should pay. She can leave the tip ... or offer to pay / pay half or whatever.


Oh, and vice-versa, too ... same opinion on the flip side.

lusciousmile: Seriously though, if a man asks me out, he should be ready to pay for the meal.We can discuss other forms of payment, if he's broke.



which is why I said whoever asks the person out should pay

I just love these kind of threads, where the OP posts a question and doesn't post anything after that. mumbling

personally, I believe the guy should pay for the first date, after all its a matter of chivalry, especially if he had asked the girl out!

Hi Rebecca...wave

I pay for every date.

I even offer to pay for a baby sitter.

And if it is a long distance relationship, I even pay for groceries, and offer to pay for some of the house expenses. If that is not accepted, I try to take on most of the house chores.

I always have and will continue to do so, and even after the first date. No different if I ask a friend out for dinner or drinks either, or at least pay for the first round.wine

"Should a Man ALWAYS pay for the first Date / Dinner etc ... ?"

YES!

Anything else is out of the question.

And I don't care about the Equal Right's Brigade and their sharpening of dullard tools.

It's 2008, it's not 1708, I know, but I still think both a man, and the woman he is with will appreciate if a man is allowed to be a man, and a woman is treated like a woman, by a man who knows how to do that properly.

seriously???... there is such a thing as being too nice too MB.. the motivation and feelings have to be there on both sides... paying for everything all of the time will just cloud the important issue.... don't think is a good idea to be very honest sweetie... unless of course the girl is equally generous... ...

In my past relationships, the women always wanted to pay or help to pay. I was very appreciative, but I am very old fashioned when it comes to paying.

These days, the women I date are single with kids. I know things can be tight financially for them so there is another reason to pay. Not that the women don't make enough money, it's just things can come up, and the less they have to worry about spending money, the better.
