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
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. Diamond As fer me? I always pay the Dating Bill regardless.
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. JMO
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...
i never about it every day i went on the woman ask me out and paid for the dinner i never thought about asking a woman out
i always been too busy with my children to ask one out i never knew what to do with one if i did ask her out maybe pay hide and seek with her puppies if i did ask one out i would cook her a candle light dinner under the stars
