First question: 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?

Please answer both questions. Do not tell me what you would do on the date, just answer whether she and then he did the wrong thing and if either of them is cheap, and then explain why.

Michelle -- why the difference? Why should the man have paid for hers in both instances?

It is very interesting how these questions asked together produced mainly "nonanswers" and neutral answers. And, actually, very few answers altogether. When I posted the questions separately I got numerous responses, some very angry, and the VAST majority responded that the guy should pay the whole thing when he asks, and at least 1/2 when she asks.
I think it's very interesting how the results are different when the questions are asked together, and that there's a reluctance to answer the questions.

1) No she isn't cheap because he asked her out to dinner.
2) No he isn't cheap because she asked him out to dinner.
It is about who did the inviting.....That is the person who should pay. It is the same concept as if you invite someone to your home for dinner. Would you expect them to bring the food?

If he asked he is responsible for the bill
If she asked she is responsible for the bill
Neither one are cheap. Because the other person initiated the date and in my opinion if you do the asking you do the paying, unless the other person ask to pay the bill.
If the two are just friends, the same thing goes, but you should return the favor if your a good friend.

my answer would be more diplomatic
why would you want to do that
share it 50-50 on the first date.
or 100-0 on 1 date and the 0-100 on the next
once its a relationship then its again 50-50
its never100-0 or 0-100 in a true relation
you earn and if he does too
then why be a load on him?
he is giving you a nice time right?
so why should he pay full?
share it
love is sharing
personally coz he wants to satisfy his wonker doesnt entitle any female to ask him to pay full..
or vice VERSA
