Over the years, I've taken a lot of women out to dinners. Most of the time, I'm the one suggesting she let me take her out to dinner, so I expect to pay. I've only once in a blue moon had women explicitly offer to pay half. Occasionally, a woman will not say anything, but begin to fumble with her purse as if she's getting out money to pay part fo the bill. On those occasions I'll typically tell her not to worry about it, that I'm taking care of it. Sometimes I'll say "you can get the next time" hoping to see some enthusiasm for the prospect of another date.
One of my pet peeves is taking a woman out and getting the "can I cover the tip?' line at the end. It just bothers me. So, I'm wondering why women do this. After all, if the bill is $85 for a nice dinner and drinks, surely the extra $15 is largely irrelevant, so why would you offer to pay that rather than offer to pay $50 for half the bill? What's your motivation or reason?
