This is just a question it did not happen to me nor have I done it..
I just want to know how you would react, they asked you out, but at the end (never mentioned it at all during the date) asked you to pay for half
this question could go to either person male or female
what would you say?

Oh, I'd be pissed. If we agreed to pay for half up front, that would be fine by me--and I've always done that on first dates, or if one of us is strapped. But if you invite me, you pay for me--or you don't see me again. I'd rather go to McDonald's and be treated with respect than be treated like that at a fancy restaurant.
Oh, and I wouldn't pay for anything but my cab home in this situation.

Could be one of 3 reasons:
1. You were a lousy date and they would feel cheated by paying the bill.
2. Maybe they didn't plan for the bill being so expensive and embarrassed to say they can't afford it.
3. They are used to going dutch with friends and that maybe you are the only one who considers it a date when they only see it as a friendly get together.

i would be glad to pay for half. if i didn't have enough money because i had thought the other person was treating me i would just tell them i didn't bring my credit card, that i would get the next one.
i wouldn't suspect the person of being cheap. this is actually a very good way to start a relationship, where you can agree that doing things together, you will each pay half, or your own share or whatever, and just take that money issue out of there.

That is called "going dutch" and it's generally acceptable if agreed to beforehand. Some people might be insulted if they're asked to pay half, especially if they had assumed that one or the other would be paying the full price. It's best to agree on who is paying before going out.

I think if someone asks another person out and never mentions splitting it before hand, the person that asked the other out really shouldn't ask, although if the other offered I wouldn't object to accepting.
I'd be a bit annoyed if I was asked for money by someone who asked me out.. well, if it was a first date anyway. My boyfriend asking me to cover something wouldn't bother me at all.

i would stare at the guy with my eyes bulging out of my head because i was asked out on the date in the first place. Then i would never go out with him again:)

I think in 2006, this would be very appropriate, so I would just say, "How much is my share?" Dutch treat is the best and should have started many moons ago.

If he asked me out and them asked me to pay for half, I'd happily pay my way
and never go back out with him again.

The person who invites should pay unless otherwise arranged (previous to date.)
