I'm old fashioned in that sense and I would want to pay for the meal. As for the drinks at the bar for the evening I would expect ( or like to see ) her pay her share.

Thats pretty much how I feel about it, if the first date is dinner and assuming the man has done the asking, then dinner is on him. I would always offer to get drinks afterwards.


Have to be honest if a guy asked me to dinner and then asked me to split the bill there would be no second date.

I prefer a coffee date for the first date though, a relaxed and informal way to see how you get on. He pays for coffee lol.

I think that the first date should either be pay for yourself, or whoever did the inviting.

Sebastino: This is a serious question, and emphasis need to be placed on it. Some people believed that the woman should pay for the first date while other believe it is the man's responsibility. Despite all these responses, there are people who suggested that it is the sole responsibility of the Host and not the Guest, so what do you think?


Hi Sebastino, you do ask good questions..Personally if ask the guy out I pay, if he asks me out and offers to pay I accept graciously,if I feel that there was no connection made well then we go dutch , ie we pay for eachother or our own ..

jonnt: It is a Liverpool tradition for both to be seated near the door of the restuarant and take your chances before the Bill comes ..


Sounds like an exciting first date! laugh You could get to know each other pretty well in chookie if you were caught! Although chances are you would get away and because I'm not a fast runner, I'd be the one caught and then I would be seriously annoyed! doh Hey, since I'm a Liverpool supporter - would prefer to be taken to a Liverpool match where I could drool over Steven Gerrard and Torres! I promise I'd offer to pay for the hot dog or pie or whatever you guys eat at football matches and a beer or two!!! grin

Not sure about everywhere else, but generally here if a guy invites you out on a first date, he pays. But I always offer to pay my share, and sometimes have been taken up on my offer!!!! I haven't invited a guy OUT for a first date yet, but have invited him home for supper. In that case, a contribution like a bottle of wine, chocs or flowers shows a bit of thoughtfulness... wine
