A man asks a woman out to dinner for a date, to be followed by a movie. They meet at the restaurant, and the bill totals about $85. They each had two drinks, shared an appetizer and had entrees that were about the same.
When the check comes the woman doesn't pick up the check. She lets him pay for it all, $100 including tip.
Did she do the wrong thing? Is she cheap?

Funny how a lot of women here are angered by this question. I asked the exact same question where the only difference was that the woman asked the guy out on the date, and only 4% of the people answering thought that the woman should pay the whole thing when she asks the guy out. Yet, here many women have answered as if the guy was a cheapscate even though he actually paid for the whole dinner (simply because he might have had the nerve to "expect" that she pay for some of it). Wow.....

NO, YOU ARE! You don't take a woman on a date aqnd expect her to pay. You asked her out, you should have planned to go some place cheaper. As the relationship progresses, then it's o.k for the woman to pick up the tab. I would never go out with a cheap person like you.
That sounds so High Schoolish. What do yoiu think you guys should have went half? Be Blessed!

No, she is not wrong or cheap. She didn't ask the man out he asked her, and by doing so he resumed all responsibilities to the check, and the tip. It's not right for someone to ask you out for dinner or what ever then to expect you to help pay for it. If he wanted to share the expense he should have said so when asking her out. So if the man expects to have the woman pick up the check especially after he is the one that did the asking, then he is the cheap one.

Well you are the one who asked her out to dinner and a movie. Would you have rather had dinner by yourself and then pick up the tab or go out on the date? You don't order a pizza and then expect the delivery man or the person running the register to pay fo half of the pizza.

No. The key words here are "A MAN ASKES A WOMAN OUT FOR A DINER FOR A DATE"..which means he agreed to pay for everything.
If you are so cheap to expect the woman to pony up dutch-treat, you need to specifically state that in advance, but for sure for sure, you are not likely to get many dates.

Okay, this is what i wouldve done, i wouldve split the bill in half, thats the most polite way, but if the guy then says no its okay ill take care of it, then i will be like okay but some people thnk that its fine for the guy to pay for all of it. if its the first date the woman shouldve offered to split the bill this doesnt mean she is cheap but probably has really high standards. like the guy always has to pay for her do u get what i mean? it just depends on what kind of woman ur dating.

Definitely not. It all depends on how she was cosidering the 'date' with you. Many women still truly believes a man should always take the bill on the first date or that 'true' date. If it is something to start you relationship with her, then it is a good sign for you. If you wished for her to go dutch, then you should have mentioned something along that line prior to going to the dinner date.

no a man is supposed to pay when he takes a woman out. if she offers u say no twice maybe even three times. then give in. but if u ask a woman out. u better be prepared to pay for it all like a true gentalman

she isnt if she pays the next time... and it also depends on who has a higher paying job. sometimes people do meet from different financial backgrounds. if she couldnt afford to pay for dinner next time ask her where she wants to go...
