If it is a date, boy should pay.
If it is just meeting friends, then split.

.DUDE pay for the first few dates. now come on that would not be to romantic to have her split the bill. mainly if you planed the date. now on the other hand when she asks you to go on a date then you split the bill in half. oh no i would be upset if i went on a date and had to split it. don't get me wrong now you have to know when to split the bill. JUST NOT ON THE FIRST DATE. Wish you good luck and make sure it is fun and something to make you stand out. Take her to like a Sushi Bar with the hibachi grill. You can get what ever you want like grilled shrimp and stir fried rice. lobster, steak all at the hibachi grill. A nice restaurant on the first date. the next few can be basic dates. Just every once in a while make it that special place and splurge a little. Just do not go over the top or she will expect it all the time then you are in trouble. good luck and have fun. And relax

Boy should offer to pay. Don't put up a fight if she offers to pay. Just let her know that you were brought up a certain way and you are not accustomed to the girl paying. Open doors for her and all that other stuff too. By the way...just because you pay 100% doesn't mean you have any right to any physical pleasures later. If she insists on paying half, she might be telling you that you are just friends, or she is being really nice to you because she really likes you, or she doesn't want to be obligated (physical pleasures) to you later. Only she knows the answer to that...and don't ask her. Don't get too wrapped up with who pays. Just accept it, then move on. I don't think you want an arguement on your first date.

It depends on what kind of impression you are trying to make, and the tone you want to set while starting this dating time. If you asked her to accompany you to an event, or lunch etc. you should pay. If you mutually agreed to go somewhere together, but not as a date, you pay for your own expenses. If you go on a second or third date, and are feeling more comfortable with each other, just ask her how she feels about sharing expenses, if your extra money needs to be put aside for school, auto, etc. and you are working on a tight budget. Be prepared to pay until you have that conversation with her. Take that opportunity to think of inexpensive dates you can enjoy to gather. She will be flattered you want to spend time with her, and you will show maturity by being up front about your finances.

If it's actually a date, the boy pays. If it's just an outing between friends, either one could pay, or they could split the cost.

Usually, the person who asked the other person out should be prepared to pay the whole bill. Unless, she offers to split it with you I wouldn't ask because she might think you're cheap. Guys always ask me out and so I expect them to pay, but I make sure I bring my own money just in case I want to split the bill or just SPLIT.

I think the person who came up with the idea of going on the date should pay. And just a little word of advice: never go on a date without any money, u never know what may happen- cards may decline, checks can bounce, or your date may just may be a butt hole and want u to pay even though it was their idea to go on the date and to that expensive restaurant!!!!

Personally i think the girl will get a better oppinion of you if you think it is right for you to pay.. and i think that is how you should do it... Show her you care and that she means something to you... If you pay then it is a more like a real date and not just friends going out.. Espically on a first date.. remember that!!

Its the first date! The guy should pay. Unless the girl has some kind of preference. Always a good gesture guys.

Mostly for a 1st date. The guy should pay otherwise the girl will think you want her to buy herself things, when she should think the boy will pay it all to make shure she doesn't spend one penny. Because she is worth it. But don't pay EvERY SINGLE time. You split once in awhile.

Whoever asks the other on a date should pay. However, if the other person insists on paying half, then let them.
