Or paying for each of our own?

The person who asked for the date should probably insist on paying. If I asked a girl out on a date, I would insist on paying. However, if she indicated that she wanted to pay, or at least pay for her half, then I would probably let her.
You manhaters can feel free to look down on me for that if you want. I'm a grad student on a limited budget, so anytime someone wishes to help me financially, I accept.

The one who asks, as a general rule, is the one who pays unless otherwise agreed to ahead of time. But I wouldn't insist necessarily either. Unfortunately, there have been many guys who feel they're owed sexually after treating a woman to dinner. Enough bad apples out there, sadly, to make some women believe they're going to be taken advantage of by guys who firmly insist on paying. Do at least offer- but don't be too put out if she says no. Respecting her wishes is the most gentlemanly thing you can do.

If I ask out someone on a first date, I insist on paying. Any subsequent dates are negotiable.

My decision is to take turns paying. Kinda kills the temper of a date whilst everyone has to offer as much as dissect the verify IMO. additionally, a minimum of the place I stay, there is rather of etiquette approximately this which i detect significant- for the 1st date, a minimum of, whoever asked, pays. If I ask somebody out on a date, I assume to pay. If somebody asks me out on a everyday date, I assume him to no longer in user-friendly terms stare blankly at me whilst the verify arrives. considering that is especially concern-unfastened etiquette around right here, meaning if he asks and would not look to entice close that he could a minimum of attempt to pay, i'm able to ask your self approximately what different concern-unfastened concerns he would be oblivious to interior the destiny. yet whilst he gets dinner, i'm going to objective to purchase a drink or action picture tickets or something later on interior the night. yet going dutch is slightly a temper killer, and could additionally make peopel ask your self whether we are on a similar web site as to this being a date, or in user-friendly terms a plutonic celebration. additionally, if i've got amassed that I make critically extra money than the guy i'm courting, I won't advise something on the pricier factor except i'm making plans to pay. yet whilst a guy in no way permit me pay- i may well be slightly wierded out. i might ask your self whether he concept money grow to be all he had going for himself, orif he grow to be bothered with old morals and philosophies touching directly to gender roles.

If you are on a date, and you asked her out, then yes you pay. Now if the 2 of you were set up (by friends) and told where to meet then no, unless you feel like treating you shouldn't feel obligated to pay.

Always pay. It will not only build closeness, but she will really respect you for being such a gentleman and generous. A woman likes a generous man. If she truly truly insists on going dutch then you can give-in. But always pay.

If you asked her out to dinner, then you pay. If the two of you decided the first date would be split, then fine. I would definitely expect the man to pay if he asked me out.
