Does the man always pay or at least offer to? Does the woman pay because she asked, or should they split the bill?

And I don't mean nothing dirty - Just paying for dinner or something.

If I ask a guy out then I pay.
I think he should offer, but I will still pay.

I think that if the woman asked the man out, that she should be prepared to pay for the date. If he offers, then there is no reason to not let him pay. And "dutch" is always acceptable. In the same token, I also feel that the woman should always offer to help pay as well if the man has asked her out. I am against stereotypes and society "rules"--they are a crock!
I don't believe in the " I will feel like I owe him/her thing" they should take the generosity at face value and not interpret everything as a prostitution suggestion! ha ha!!

I would always go expecting to pay unless she made a point in advance that it was her treat. However, even when I asked her out, I would let her pay if she asked. I've been told by women that they sometimes get frustrated that men won't let them pay; they feel they work for their money and sometimes want to be the one who treats the other.
I manage a movie theatre and I often see this when I'm selling tickets - especially with teenagers. She'll try to pay and he'll refuse. In fact, I'll often see the guy all but block the girl off from the box office window to keep her from putting in her money. And while they don't usually fight it, I can usually see in their face that they are upset.
The funny thing is many women when you ask them will tell you they want/prefer/expect the man to pay for everything.

Since the woman is asking, she should pay. If the man is a real man, he should insist on paying the bill. It would make quite an impression.

Ideally there should be a 50-50 split no matter who asks who, but when the man asks usually is 100-0 and when the woman asks is 0-100.
Damn these gentlemanish rules...
The answer is 50-50.

Whoever asks should be the one to pay.
It would be nice if an offer is made by the other person (at least to leave the tip).

If you asked him out, I feel you pay. The person asking pays the bill.
Unless he offers than that's different. If you talk about it before
going dutch is always an option.

I have been in this situation and I have paid for the bill just because she was nice enough to invite me out with her and I figure it was the least I could do. But, if you have to ask her this. Let her know you have the money to cover both meals but how would she like to work it out. But I just enjoy treating the woman even if she was the one who asked me to join her for dinner. Just make an agreement she can treat next time.
