If a guy invites you to go to a restaurant then he orders more than you, and then when the bill comes he looks at it and before even you to say something he ask you to pay half of it, what would you do?And would you go out on a second date with him?

Personally, no, I wouldn't. I think that in the early stages of dating, whoever asks the person out, should pay for the date.

I would definately not go out with this guy again. The guy is supposed to pay the whole bill on the first date. How can he even tell you to pay half of the bill when he ate more?

I'm a girl and I always offer to pay for the bill. When he insists on paying, I insist on picking up the tab for the drinks or leaving the tip. It usually works out well.
But, if he asked me to pay for half the bill - no way would I bother with him again. It's not a matter of you paying half - it's a matter of him being so rude. You'd think if he cared enough, he would have been able to pay for all of it.
Has he asked you out again yet? Sounds to me like he doesn't want a second date or he would have picked up the whole tab.
Dump him.

I would look at the check figure out how much I owe and pay that amount.
if it was a real date the kind where he asked you out he is suppose to pay the whole tab
no I would not try a second date you might get stuck with the whole tab

He might just be testing your reaction...If he knew you were online talking about, well then you failed his test...I guess you wished you had a calculator or should he have payed the entire bill? If you had fun on the date, offer to pay the whole bill next time. Then see what he does on the third date...

Guy perspective.When I was dating I'd get pushed around my some women.They wanna pay 1/2.or just for there meal.This pissed me off and confused me.If hes been through this type of ringer this may offer some explanation.Whipped by feminism.Beyond the issue presented do you like him?
If so tell him how you expect to be treated and what a date means.by doing so you will have done him a great favor.

Run.. dont walk, but run to get away from him. If he is that inconsiderate to begin with then it wont get any better. He could have asked you to go dutch if money was an issue, which is in poor taste, but to have you half the bill which is clearly paying for his part....NO WAY.
let the mooch pay his own way.

I'd pay the half of the bill, and then never date him again, because couples who split everything down the middle always end up splitting up.

Most of the guys I went out with expected that I would pay my fair share, but this guy sounds like a jerk. Did you like him otherwise? If so do something free or something where you can just pay for yourself (bowling or something) before he can make you pay for his lobster. If he would have talked to you about it first that would have been much better. If he's a jerk in other ways you should be glad you found out so soon.

OMG! not that big of deal.. if he wanted you to pay half.. then.. maybe he isnt made of money.. or maybe that's how he grew up.. Now.. if he continues to do it after dating for awhile.. i would talk to him.. say it doesn't make you feel worth it.. or as wanted when you are supplying some of the money. Of course if you had fun otherwise.. why bring it up.. it doesn't matter about money if you really like him. Maybe he was just seeing how you'd react.. trying to feel the kind of person you are.. of course... hopefully you did pay! I don't think it's that big of deal.. when my fiance and i first started dating.. we would go out to eat.. and he would always pay.. but if we went to the movies or anything like that.. he would pay to get in.. and i would pay for snacks.. then.. he would feel bad for letting me pay at all.. and always buy drinks.. so it ended up.. i payed for some stuff anyway! don't worry about it..! if it's meant to be.. it's meant to be!! Loves!
