Is it rude to ask a girl to pay on a first date?

Answer 1

Only if she's hot.

Answer 2

It should be expected of her to contribute at least equally. Why is it women want to be treated equal in all things, until it comes to them having to pony up to the equal expenses part. It is absolutely absurd to continue on this sexist path of a man has to pay for dinner pay for a movie, pay for drinks, etc. Why can't a woman pay for ME to spend time with her? In this Politically correct world, i would expect more feminists to come out against this practice of being a weak little woman that needs to be provided for and taken care of in the dating realm. And what purpose does it serve? For a second date that the man will have to pay for? For a house and a car and credit cards a man will have to pay for? Where is the payoff? Sex? Overrated. Marriage? Just foolish. this isn't the 50's anymore. Women have the opportunity at just as successful a career as a men, and for the first time in history, 50% of women are living alone in homes they own. It's time for a change. Lets go DUTCH!

P.S. I can already see the "well you must not have any dates.. etc. responses to a comment like this. Well ha. Shove it. :-)

Answer 3

Well, first off, if you can't afford to take her out, then it's not such a good idea. Women like to feel special, and asking for a girl to pay on the first date might turn her away from liking you as much. If you can't afford to take her out, what's so wrong with just sitting at home and watching TV or a movie? Just do things to make her feel special, you don't have to spend tons of money necessarily.

Answer 4

If you're a teen, it would be ok to split the bill, but if you're an adult man, you should pay the bill, and if she offers, you should immediately decline. I would never date a man who wouldn't spring for the first date. I'm not a gold digger, but if a guy can't spring for dinner and drinks ro whatever, he's probably stingy, and that just doesn't jive with me. As you become a couple, that's a different story-she should be paying sometimes, but never on a first date.

Answer 5

It's rude to ask anyone to pay on the first date, unless you're flat broke. Asking her to split, however, is something else. That's definitely acceptable.

Answer 6

If you asked her out, then you should pay for her. But if she asked you out, you need to offer to pay for your half. Hopefully she'll do the same and offer to pay for hers. You'll have to judge her behavior as to whether or not to let her pay for hers or not. Most girls like it when a guy pays. But don't ALWAYS pay. I had an ex who never wanted to pay for anything - and it got to be a pain in the ***. Not even a $5 entrance fee to a concert!!! So be a man and pay sometimes!

Answer 7

Yes....very rude. I think that a guy should aways pay just like he should open the door for her not matter how long you have been together. It is the little things like that that touch a girl's heart!

Answer 8

It is not rude but if you like her it is not a good thing to do. Take her out once or twice and pick up the ENTIRE tab. If you like her and she likes you then you can go Dutch (she pays for herself and you pay for yourself).

Answer 9

If you discuss it with her before going out, and she agrees, that's fine. Just make sure it doesn't become a habit and start depending on it. It happens, so be prepared before going out. In return, do something really nice for her, so there's a balance in the relationship.

Answer 10

It should be expected but if all is going well and you are enjoying the whole date then pay for the whole thing because it makes you feel good.

Answer 11

well no not rude.. maybe alittle.. but I can tell you this.. . when I go out on a first date with a man and I do not plan on ever seeing him again.. I pay for my dinner.... that way.. its even ...... we owe each nothing........
