I have a legitimate question to homosexuals...?

Question

When ya'll go out on a date, how do you decide who pays?

Answer 1

This question has been asked and answered before. The one who asks the other on the date pays most times. Just like any other date.

Answer 2

Ha. How do heterosexuals decide who pays? Gosh, I wish one day the hetero world would finally get the idea that we aren't really that different from you. No offense intended, but really, we aren't!

In general, the person who invited the other out pays for the first date or two. After that, so that we can afford to see each other more, we start to share costs. If one of us or ther other is more financially able than the other, he might pick up the bill more often, but it really isn't that different than in straight dating today. I know in the 50's, 60's and most of the 70's (and for years before the 50's as well, I 'm sure) in straight dating the man always paid. But that's ancient history for straight people now, maybe because we do things that cost so much more, it takes some sharing to get to do these things. I don't actually know how gay people handled this in the 50's.

Answer 3

When you go out on a date with a straight person, how do you decide who pays? Unless, of course, you're stuck in some Victorian ideal where the woman is the wilting, blushing flower and the man is the dashing swashbucker.

Normally the person doing the asking pays. Or, you agree ahead of time, split the bill, or let the more affluent person pay. It's called non-judgemental communication. Try it sometime.

Answer 4

Whomever asked who on the date usually pays or you can always go dutch. I didn't know dating between heterosexuals was still so archaic as to be gender specific when it comes to the bill. Do women expect men to pay all the time? What about when a woman asks a guy out? That does happen you know. So, if you were to ask a guy out would you assume that he should pay because he's a man?

Answer 5

lol.. Well if you believe in the traditional Boy pays on a date then I can see why you asked this question.

We live in the year 2006.. Its UNFAIR to let a guy pay for a date, the first date you should split the bill because if you dont like the person you dont want to be spending your money on them lol so in a hetro couple a first date should be split anyways I believe and that is how we work it in the homosexual worl.
If the other person insists on paying then they will, if I insist on paying then I will.. we dont sit and decide who is paying! someone just pays or you both do!

Answer 6

It is nice not having the society saying one half of the couple must pay for the meals the majority of the time. It is nice taking turns or having the one who suggested the date pay. Or, one can pay for the meal and the other for the movie. There are a myriad ways to do this.

Answer 7

Group of friends - Usually all pay for their own. Date - He who asks the other out pays.

Answer 8

Whoever ask the other person out, unless it is agreed that your paying your own or some other agreement is made. Some will pay for the movie and popcorn/drinks, while the other pays for the dinner....just depends.

Answer 9

It depends on who asks and if it is discussed ahead of time.

I think it's unfair in a straight relationship to assume the man pays for the woman's meal.

I think it's degrading for anyone to assume.

Answer 10

It's like going out with your friends and everyone pays their way. Or one pays now and the other later. It also depends on who has the bigger pockets.
