I am a male and I was brought up to believe it is my dutie to pay. However there are a lot of females that dont like this idea. I agree that if women want to be on an equal level with men that they shouldnt expect men to always pay, however if I am friends with somebody no matter what sex, I never have a problem giving whatever I have to another person. However I'v come to the understanding that if a woman wants to pay "Her Half", Your really not on a date at all. Your just hanging out....... Bitter Much?

By partner, I'm assuming you mean either spouse or long term committed relationship.
In those cases, especially when there's a joint checking account, it really doesn't matter much. If you have separate accounts then whoever did the asking should probably pay, or you can take turns paying.
It's a whole lot more fun if it's just spontaneous and you don't get bogged down in keeping score of who owes who.
In the early stages of dating, call me old fashioned, but the guy should always pay.

Are you each employed? Steady guy? Share the bill (one pays, one tips), split it evenly, trade off (you pay every other time), or decide based on who has more money to spend that week. Try a combination of these. As long as no one feels like they're having to pay all the time.

When my fiance and I first started dating he didn't have much money so I paid for alot of our dates. Now that he has a better job he takes me out alot (movies, shopping, etc). That doesn't stop me from treating him every once in awhile though! In fact We're going to alabama and I have tickets to a rocky horror midnight showing as a surprise....

Friends and colleagues can date with no intimate intentions whatsoever. If this is your case, then I think "each pays own" would be a rule. If either one decides to treat the other, then the next time that other should treat.

Most of the time man endup paying;
i seen girls go to Rest room;when bill comes...
Even they invite; they give odd reasons, they forget vallet; or they have money for other certain things only bla bla.
thats why i never dated anyone.
as per rule,you have to pay if she paid last time vise versa.
or you pay yours, i pay mine,so no misunderstanding.
some girls just hook some rich boy and he will endup paying all the time.

What partner?
Business partner? It's best to split, at least ask if we can split the bills.
But, for lovers...it's good to always at least offer yourself to pay, if he's willing to pay, then don`t reject him. And the next date, you could tell him beforehand that it`s your turn.

Normally man should pay or who is host,and when male is financially not strong then female can pay.? Rest depends person to person.

Usually we don't follow the preppy rule that the guy always pay (if that happens, the guy would extremely get bankrupt). Instead, we often let the one who invited pay all the fees. ^_^
