if the girl really likes the guy, she could chip-in, especially if they go out very often or have been together for quite sometime.

I think it depends on how long you've been going out together. And how comfortable you'd feel around each other. Usually the guy pays in the first few months, but if money is really an issue bring it up to her. And see how she feels about either splitting the bill or maybe pay one day and you pay the next. Or she pays one week, you pay the next week.

The first one or three dates, yeah - the guy should pick up the check. But if ya'll been going out for a long time & 1) she makes better $ & 2) you eat out quite frequently - then yes, she needs to fork over for the meals more often. Or begin going dutch. That way you only pay for what you eat. My current b/f never has any cash to pay for meals, so I usually end up buying - which I don't mind, until you add in my kids, his son, his son's girlfriend, etc. Then I begin to think You pay for yours & I'll pay for mine - otherwise, I'll be broke soon!!!!! Talk to her about it & let her know how you feel & what you need to do. You have to communicate!!!
Good luck - bon appetit!!!

iwe're in a modern age. as a girl myself, i think it's okay for us to chip in once in a while. It's kinda nice to treat the guy to a dinner once in a while. . . though there are times that the guy's ego gets hurt if a girl offers to pay or something like that..
but then again, it all depends on the two parties involved.

Despite current trends, I think the following:
1. The man should always pay for the dinner (if he can't afford to take a woman out; he shouldn't be trying to date).
2. The man should expect NOTHING in return for taking a woman to dinner. It is about being generous and being a gentlemen; NOT about what he can get out of it.

This part of the response is if you are just beginning to date. It is the (mostly) socially acceptable thing for a guy on a date to offer to pay for dinner. Some women may want to pay for themselves. Don't argue much. Insist maybe once. If they insist on paying, then they are being cautions. They may not want to "owe" you, or they are not interested in romance. You may have turned them off somehow.
If you have been together for a while, discuss this with her.

If you've been dating her for awhile, then you should feel comfortable with this suggestion. Tell her that you've decided to be frugal for once, and want to spend an evening with her doing something that doesn't cost anything. A walk on the beach, dancing at home, etc. If she suggests going dutch or letting her treat you, accept. If she doesn't, then you've found a new way to spend time together that doesn't cost you anything but effort. Plus, believe it or not, women find stuff like that romantic. Good luck.

Whenver I take a woman out, I usually pay for the meal and she will pay for the tip. At the movies, I will by the tickets and she will by the snacks... but in both cases only if she offers. I am always prepared to pay for everything.

Well, for me, I had been in a relationship with my gf for almost 5 years.. At first, guys need to pay bills.. But as we go on, since we both have our jobs, it depends on who have the money the time that we go out..
That's it..
Take care..

Its usually the guy who should pay but I think the girl should pay too sometimes. NOT all the time.
