Who pays?

What if the guy shows up with exactly enough for his half, without tip, and tells me to figure the rest out?
Yep, this past week.0 -
Where did you all go where he knew what exactly half the bill would be before hand? Chinese buffet?0

Some place he's been many times and I have never been, apparently.0 -
Should've thrown a curve ball and gotten dessert.0

For me, yes. And I hate myself for saying that. In all my years of dating, only one took me up on the offer. We did go out on a 2nd date though...but I honestly don't remember who paid.
you're just being honest. There are just a lot of complexities on either side anymore, it's hard to know what's right.0 -

This is why coffee as a first date works so well. If he pays, I don't feel like I ripped him off (not that I would actually feel that way). If I pay I don't feel ripped off. If we go dutch, well that's just like at work and we're talking a few dollars so who cares!0

Obviously. Good thing I'm an "independent woman who don't need no man"?0 -
First meeting? Each pays their own way. After that? If I initiate, I pay. If he initiates, he pays. If he doesn't pull his fair share of initiating? He's gone. I always offer to cover the tip if he's paying and wouldn't be offended if offered in kind but don't expect it.
Same with planning activities and who is driving/paying for petro/paying for event tickets/etceteras. I also always offer to pay for half of the fuel if he's driving as a courtesy. And, again, would not be offended if offered in kind but never expect it.1 -

Wonder what his game plan was if you hadn't brought money...let you wash dishes?

We had our own cars so I was definitely fending for myself. He probably also realized I wasn't going to be that kind of girl to expect to be paid for.0 -

Do I dare ask if there's a second date after all of that?0 -

No. Besides this, there were very awkward conversations and very different personalities. Very "judgey" of others and expected me to be the same.0 -

Sounds like an overall awkward date...at least you had dessert.0 -
i just want to be in real life friends with angela so we can go to the bars and pick up hotties

Being a gentleman I would never expect a date to pay for dinner or activities. I would be insulted if she did.2

You think I won't taser you?! I will tase everyone in this restaurant!!
Boom. Love at first threat. The happy couple then leave and both get tased by the establishment as they forgot to pay the check in their hormone and adrenaline fueled romance.2 -
Would it be wrong to ask a women to pay for everything? (I don't do this, but I'm curious about the "double standard")0

I met a guy off of PoF years and years ago at Applebee's who tried to insist we order off the "2 for $20" part of the menu...I told him that I didn't mind paying for my lunch and he said "good because I don't have a lot of cash on me"
I still see him on Tinder...0
