Etiquette dictates that the person who extends the invitation should pay. However it is perfectly fine to split the check or the cost of the entire date for that matter. I personally think it would add a whole new dimension to dating. However in spite of the few who've made not so polite noises regarding the same subject and suggested that if we "were real feminists" or "really wanted equality" we should pay. I really think that 90% of men would immediately get on their testosterone fed high horse over it. "What an insult! Does she think she makes more money than I?" Does she think I can't afford to date someone of her caliber?" I just don't think that most of your egos could handle it.

Well, I always pay for myself. Cause if the dude pays, he always wants something in return.
Don´t think it is sexism, it is just an old custom. but nowadays women are free, they earn their own money, buy their own meals.

No it is a nice gesture...I also think women should pay for men sometimes, it's just a good thing to do. I personally think life would be nicer if we were allowed to acknowledge a few more differences between the sexes, anyway, as long as they were considered equally worthy and important.
Go ahead girls, throw things at me, lol.

Who asked who out? Do you expect the neighbors to pay their portion of the bill if you invited them out? And do you expect sex with your neighbors if you did foot the bill? If you don't want to pay the bill, don't ask them out to dinner, movies or for drinks. But good luck on getting a girl over for a first date to watch movies at your place.

I thought I was showing love and kindness toward someone in whom I was genuinely interested. Perhaps not all men who pay on dates are sexist?

Yes, but also getting paid for the date is too.

No, it is not, i believe that's a nice gesture, when it comes from a boy who asked me out, i would expect that, since he asked me out.
Altougth, once i am in a relation ship, more like dating regularly, then i would eventualy invite him someday, or maybe we would get to the agreement of split the check.

It's tradition,a nice gesture,and if you invited you should pay,but before i got married and he was my boyfriend when we went out sometimes i paid for both of us and that was my decision,when we got to the place i told him "tonight i pay" he was always surprised asked me if i was sure and then let me pay,but mainly he was the one who paid. talk to her about it.

no it is a form of chivalry, now not allowing the woman to pay if she insist upon that could possibly be, but offering to is not.
