SHARING IS CARING

I feel that the man should pay for the first couple of dates to show that he is willing to be a gentleman. Then, after the two become an official couple and are more comfortable with one another, they should split everything (preferably 50-50, but some guys will insist that they pay more, so 40-60 might be better). Basically, this is an issue that you have to work out with your "significant other."

Its 2006, men only paying for dates is history. Women have come a long way since the "men pay for dates" era. It's a good way to show that you are confident, successful, hard working, and financially secure with yourself.
But, then again, why not let him pay all the time and save your money! Now that I think of it, that would be the right thing to do! Milk him for whatever hes gonna throw at you!
And Im a guy telling you this!!!

I think in the beginning, the guy should pay for the dates (first-third dates). Then after that, the couple should work out a deal where they take turns. If the guy pays all the time, it looks like the woman is too dependant.

No it should be 50/50 think about it why should he have to pay for everything is it because that that's the typical thing to do or is it just because he's a man thats not right people should be independent its ok if you take turns but every time that hits the pocket after a while and its kind of like putting a price on your self

Maybe not always but most of the time! I dated a guy that foot the bill all the time. I offered to pay and he finally agreed but he asked me if I would give him the money to pay the waitress because he would be embarrassed if she knew I was paying. What an idiot! That relationship last 2 months. Now I have a sugar daddy that pays all the time for everything, buys me nice things and gives me money all the time. I love it!

For the most part the man should be the gentleman and pay for the date, but is it a date date, or a business date, or a frendship date. Because a business or friendship date it could go half and half or one pays now and the other pays next time.

I think who ever does the inviting of the date pays. When I take someone out, I pay. I ask them to go to dinner... I pay. Generally men are the ones doing the asking... so they pay. When in a relationship, I still use the who brought up the idea pays. Works great for my boyfriend and I. :-)

The man should pay for dates at the very beginning. Once you and the guy are in a comfort level in a relationship, then you could either go "dutch" or maybe on occasion, do the treating.

If the couple is dating I believe the guy should pay on dates. The only exception to this would be if the girl invited him somewhere. At that point he should offer to pay, but only as a gesture as she should pay since she invited him.

I like when the guy pays, but only to some extent. I dont like the feeling that I am using him, so if we go for a movie, I'll buy the drink or the popcorn. My boyfriend and I talked about it, and we split everything, he'll pay for the even dates, and I pay for the odd ones. I feel like its something that should go both ways. Relationships are all about compromise, and I dont want him to feel like thats all I like about him.
