We are going to a restaurant and maybe we'll catch a movie as well, should we both pay or should I?

Take it from me. You should pay. If she wants to offer to pay then let her. But you shouldn't ask her to pay.

Yeah, you gotta pay. As much as society has changed, this one thing really hasn't. Most women will be offended if you don't insist on paying. Let her pay her half only if she seems genuinely upset at the prospect of her not paying her half. Many women will make a token gesture of offering to pay their share, but if you accept, it's a mark against you.
But it's okay to keep the date cheap! Hit the movie first (that way you'll have something to talk about during dinner) so you can catch the "bargain" showing. Then take her to a somewhat quiet restaurant that's on the budget side.
After a couple of dates, you can suggest renting a movie instead of going to one, and eat takeaway or cook for her.
I don't hold it against a guy for trying to keep things inexpensive, but fair or not, I (and every woman I know) am completely put off by a guy who wants to "go dutch."

Dude, you should always assume that your paying. If she offers or insists then tell her you respect her wanting to pay but you would still like to pay. If she still insists then don't fight her. Even in this day and age a man should be a gentleman and open doors, bring flowers, and pay for dates....

Sometimes it depends on who did the asking, but as a general rule of thumb the guy should always expect to pay and then act pleasantly surprised if she offers and attempt to not let her.

Which of you asked the other out? That is the one who should pay. If you are asking this question because you are a cheap skate... then you should stay home because, this meeting won't get past first base.

Traditionally the man pays for the first date - everything. I would say you should pay this time - then if ya'll hit it off & begin seeing one another, discuss who pays what from then on. Hope it goes great & ya'll have fun!!!!!

What was the arrangement. Their is nothing wrong with splitting
the ticket. Some girls would rather. But if you feel strong about
paying than do it.

the biggest sticking element right here is which you have purely met her on line. in case you had met the girl offline and you had gelled with one yet another, you will asked her out on a date and she or he'd familiar then i'd tend to declare that that is extraordinarily cool in case you conceal the 1st date. (confident, besides the fact that if she earns greater effective than you - there'll constantly be later activities whilst she would desire to purchase you beverages, to instruct you that she's attracted on your organization greater effective than you money). given which you have purely met her on line so a approaches although, a be attentive to warning: you have had 0 risk to evaluate her physique language, voice tone, facial expression - all the failings you frequently get once you meet and have interaction with somebody for the 1st time. subsequently, that is not a huge-unfold date plenty as a "pre-date". in case you're making it a actual date you would be attempting to fulfill her in man or woman for the 1st time and take her out on a huge-unfold date all of sudden. And that is incredibly not incredibly helpful to take a woman out on a date previously you have easily met her in man or woman and desperate that she's the fashion of lady you would be wanting to take out. no count how plenty you think of you recognize her now, the fact can constantly be slightly diverse - I had a buddy who voice-chatted, texted and shared photographs with a woman on line (halfway around the area) for 8 months purely to discover whilst they finally met up that they had 0 chemistry with one yet another and did not even prefer to spend time with one yet another! that is in all risk greater smart to bypass halves the 1st time you meet and then if all is going properly, take her out on a suited first date, pay for each thing and sweep her off her ft, like she merits. you could tell her earlier than time in case you like which you incredibly prefer your first assembly along with her on the eating place and the cinema to be greater easygoing and much less finished on romance, so she would not end you're a cheapskate. That has the further great element approximately reducing the tension on the two one in each of you to have a "perfect" first date - and once you're greater comfortable then you incredibly'll in all risk take exhilaration in one yet another's enterprise greater too! If she gadgets to going halves the 1st time you meet or she looks distant afterwards, you will understand that her first precedence grow to be to freeload and assembly you grow to be purely a secondary convenience.
