Ok so if a guy asks a girl to dinner for a date....
after they are done eating (the date went great) Do you expect the girl to offer to pay, or at least help out and pay part. And if she wants to offer and the guy politely says no I've got it, should the girl stop offering or say like "are you sure, b/c i can split it with you". So guys...your perfect date, would she offer to pay, and if so, how many times does she offer, and does she offer to split the bill or pay the whole thing?

The correct way is that the man always pays for the first date out of courtesy. Then if a second date is implied then the bill would be split in half.
I always like to see the woman offer. Showed I was not just a free meal and usually meant to them that your still on a even playing field because you didn't buy you do not have the right to have sex or other sexual favors. So allot of times woman will offer to pay their way for that reasoning. Dating can be very expensive!

The girl does not pay and does not need to offer to pay when on a date with a guy..

Call me old fashion but if he asked you out for the date its his responsibility to pay the bill, the only time I would think a girl should be prepared to pay is if she asked someone out and even than I would personally have a hard time not paying if it was me. If the girl did ask to pay part and the guy said no then let him pay or you could risk hurting his ego. Have a great day!

The Dude is a classic Old School guy. If I ask a girl out to dinner on a date, I expect fully to cover all costs. That's just how I was raised.
If she offers to split anyway, then I politely decline and hopefully that will be the end of it. If she continues to insist, then I start to wonder if she really thinks it's a date at all. Again, Old School thinking. Not that I am expecting anything past that. I am speaking of strictly dinner and whatever entertainment that goes with it (movie, dancing, drinks, etc).
So my perfect date is, dinner, entertainment, great conversation, yadda, yadda, yadda. And I expect to cover the expenses for the night since I asked her out.
But hey, to each his own. Whatever floats your boat.
Good luck! have fun on your dates/non-dates. =P
The Dude must abide...

me as a guy i think if i am taking a girl on a date it is fine with me if i pay all the time because i feel like it is my obligation this is my way of showing respect if after 3 or 4 or 5 dates she says she wants to pay or split that is ok but if she does not i am fine with it because i do not like to see a girl pay for my dinner or lunch an i am looking at her doing it to me it is disrespectful lets see what other guys think

It's cool of her to offer, but I'd rather pay. If she insists, I wouldn't be offended if she wanted to pay half or all. I just wouldn't want her to get the impression that I'm using her. I would let you pay and tell you that I'll get the next one or offer to pay for something else, like a cab home or dessert or for drinks at the bar...etc. It gets cheesy if the dating thing becomes about money. If you don't really think he can afford a date, go to places where money isn't necessary, like to the park for a picnic, for instance. Be creative.

This is simple - whoever asked the person out is the one who should pay - no questions asked. Of course, the girl could offer - but if the guy asked her out, it should be rejected. In the future, you can hopefully, honestly talk to your significant other about cost sharing on an ongoing basis.

Its always a nice gesture to offer to split the pay or pay for it, but usually I will pay for it anyway just because i was the one to ask them out.

I'm old fashioned. I believe that men should pay for dates, that it's chivalrous and romantic. Dutch treat is for friends and work colleagues! If that's too 1950s or whatever for some people, here's a good rule I use with friends and that's whoever does the asking out should pay.

Brittany G, if I asked you out on a date it is implied that I am paying for it.
Whether or not I asked you out though, I myself would never expect a girl with me to pay for anything no matter what or where we are (EVER).
If you offer and he says no then take no for an answer, if you say are you sure, and he says yes, let him pay.
