Never , a girl should never pay. Maybe some day if we get married she can take me to dinner.

If I was taking a girl out - I would do just that - take her out, I would pay, etc. But if you are casual friends, etc., looking to take that next step, and you let's say make a bet, and tell her loser pays for dinner...then maybe I'd allow it to go through, but I still doubt it. Also, I am accustomed to having enough for it. I used to date some girls who graduated college, and working/making good money when I was in college, though and I'd let them pay. So - I guess it really depends on the situation. Ultimately I would never make a girl pay, but I'd be open to it. Also, depending how old you are, it shouldn't matter as much, I think. Like when you are in high school - I think it should be either dutch treat (each pay) or trade off and on... The whole paying for things absolutely comes in the role of provider, and that doesn't usually happen until you are at least in your 20s.

My $.02, anyway.

Not on a first date. (But the girl should offer to split!)

Thereafter, if the girl chooses the activity, then she should continue to offer to pay. And I would take her up on that offer, say, once ever 5-6 times. (I want to show that I know that she can make money and she can pay her own way and I'm not her sugar daddy and she knows that.)

It also depends upon the economics. If my girl (now fiancee) made 4x my income, I'd expect her to pay more often. Since I make 4x her income (she's a grad student) it's only reasonable that I pay more often, and for the expensive things.

I am a girl and I pay for dates occasionally with my boyfriend. Our first date he paid....then I picked up the second date. He still says to this day that it amazed him that I picked up that date and he loved it....even though he did try to argue with me about it. We have kind of developed a pattern-if i ask him to do something-I pay. If he asks me to go out to dinner-he pays. Throughout the time that we have been together, I would say that I have probably picked up about 35-40% of the tabs, but normally they are the "cheaper" dates as he will not let me pick up the expensive ones. I see no problem in spoiling him as well. Treat him like you want to be treated. You want a man to spoil you-you gotta spoil him too.

Never!!! people say that chivalry is dead, but just amongst those looking for an excuse not to pay or open a door is it dead, for those of us who look for a chance to respect and compliment women with our every action its never been dead. However, i go on dates with my girlfriend every day and we share our money and there are times i try and avoid doing something cause im short on money and she is gracious enough to realize that im low and that she would rather pay then stay at home and suffer. thats why i care about her.

If your talking about a first date, then no, I've always paid.

Beyond that, I've had girls insist on paying for dates.

He better pay on a date. Unless you are dating then it is another story. You sure are asking lots of questions =)

No ,,, unless she insisted,,if a guy does tell the girl your paying she should look at that as a sign of things to come and dump him immediately that is if you can get the blood sucker off of you !!!!

If the date is going to end in a handshake, then yes I would.
It is time that them women get a taste of how much it costs to go out on a date.
