When women's pay is equal, they can pony up. Til then, I'm a chauvanist pig.

StressFree: Yes I understand the independence part....trust me, Swedish women have to be easily the most independent women in the world. I have no probs with splitting the bill, but sometimes I just would like to pay....just as an act of appreciation as a gesture of my treat...it does not imply that i am expecting something in return. Just part of my culture/tradition from America from the old school.

Times are changing, its the norm to split the bill nowadays. But not on first date, men should pay

Claayer: For me it depends who asked who..

When I ask someone out for dinner then I pay.. and I kinda assume the same the other way around.

I sorta kinda think the first date is up to the party involved. I had a date tonight to get acquainted. We met at Starbucks. My date offered to split the cost of about $9.99. She offered I refused. She said she will pay me back next time or buy me a Starbucks next date.
Of course the date was successful or why would she have offered a pay back? I think tips are there and if attention is paid by both people they'll know if the date is repeatable.
That was her offer.
I guess just depends on the situation and issues which might or might not arise.
Just my Op.

As fer me? I always pay the Dating Bill regardless.peace

Sorry I'm still old school. I think men should pay for the first date and most dates, I see it as if the woman is willing to pay is payment enough the thought means more than the expense. Now when you are going steady or married, it is fine to let the women pay sometimes. JMOcheers

The 1st day for me is a meeting usually.So I beleive split whatever the cost.An actual date if men ask me out they pay.I sometimes like to leave the tip at dinner.If we get in a commitment then whoever has the money and I like giving gifts and sending cards to my honey(if I have 1).My men alwayshad more money and paid unless agreed upon dutch treat.

whoever invited the other out...if the girl set up the date, she should pay....if the guy set up the date, he should pay...if it was just mutually agreed upon, like out of the blue, then they should split...wine
