i was just wondering--- do you think that the boy should ask the girl out and be in charge of everything like planning and paying for dates? some people think girls can do just as much as boys can, but i kinda think that boys should be the ones to be strong enough to ask the girls out. am i right in thinking this?

Well, I'm old school, I want a guy to ask me out, as I wouldn't ask a guy out. Gone are the days of chivalry and gallantry! As far as paying for the date, it all depends on the guy, I would mind sharing the cost.

Not any more. As women have gained power, position, education, wealth...I think they also gain other responsibilities. Maybe that sounds odd...it does to me...but hey, the whole idea of a man "taking care of things" came from the idea that women needed taking care of. Well, I think most women don't feel that way now...and if they do, I think that's unfair.
Even with the differences that still exisit, many more women are making par wages with men...and if you are a dating teenager, it won't matter if you are a girl or a boy, you'll make the same money at McDonalds. So why should the guy pay so the girl can save? Nope...those days are over...or should be.

There is nothing wrong with a girl asking a guy out. The only thing if you ask a guy out be prepared to pay for the date. I do not want know guy to be in charge of any thing I do and yes girls can do any thing a guy can do.

I feel that for the most part the guy should do the asking, but I'm not against a girl doing the asking if she likes a guy and he is not noticing her. At least if she Say's something to him then she will know weather or not to wast anymore time thanking about him. It just depends on the situation.

Usually, the boy asks the girl out, but sometimes it takes too long for a guy to get the courage to ask her out. If the guy asks--he pays. If the girl asks--the guy offers, but either can pay.

I can go either way, if the girl asks the guy out but the guy covers the costs, he's being a gentlemen.
But if it was the guy asking, then he would cover and plan i think.
But it honestly can go either way, in this day in age girls can pretty much do what guys do and vice versa.

Sure! But it also depends on the kind of girl you´re asking out. If know a little about her, probably you´ll know if she likes for the boy to pay or not. Anyway, if you want to date her and she hasn´t asked you... it´s quite obvious you´re the one to ask her out.
Good luck!

It's the man's responsibility. The men are suppose to be gentlemen and pay for everything, no wonder chivalry is a thing of the past!

I think when the person does the asking out they should cover costs, or discuss it. Also the term boys and girls makes me feel your not quite ready to date...

Well, of course they both play a part in the dating scene.
Girl hints she likes boy, boy takes hint and goes for it.
End of story.
