    Ask her for cash while in line...what? No.

    If she whips out her form of payment to the ticket taker, which she should, then I'd say "thanks!" if I were you and treat her to coffee/dessert or whatever, afterward.

    regardless - thanks for the tips - I'm paying. :flowerforyou:

    ^and I txt her and asked why she was in Mexico (good idea for getting a convo rolling :wink: ) - wasn't modeling or anything exciting actually just visiting family and friends.

    so nothing too exciting!

    unless she offers, you pay the bill. But if it's to the movies, and she asked you, she'll probably pick up the tickets. I normally say I'll get the tickets you get the popcorn. But I never ask anyone to go anywhere. lol

    She asked you out. She pays.

    The end.

    I disagree. Call me old fashion, but sometimes women must coerce a man to take them somewhere they want to go, but still expect the man to pay...being a MAN and all.

    "Promoters also have a hearty appetite for the finer things of life, the best food, the best wine, expensive cars, and fashionable clothes. And they are extremely sophisticated in social circles, knowing many, many people by name, and knowing how to say just the right thing to most everyone they meet.

    Charming, confident, and popular, Promoters delight their friends and investors with their endless supply of stories and jokes. At the same time, these smooth operators are usually something of a mystery to others. While they live in the moment and lend excitement - and unpredictability - to all their relationships, they rarely let anyone get really close to them. They have a low tolerance for authority and commitment, and are likely to leave situations where they are expected to toe the mark, or where they must play second fiddle. Promoters understand well the maxim, "He who travels fastest, travels alone," although they are not likely to be lonely for long, since their boldness and sense of adventure tends to make them highly attractive to many other people. "

    A legend in your own mind, no doubt.

    da faq? no not a legend? I'm just a hard worker with a people personality - I have the gift of gab with a touch of glib.

    gooood faqqing grief guys - I never attack anybody individually - I'm extremely respectful. And had a brief question - thanks for the friends that stayed on track - I will be paying.

    This thread for me is done.

    At some point I'd be uncomfortable letting you pay every time! I'd let her pay.

    How about you pay for dinner - and she pays for the movie?

    By the way - I saw this movie with my 15 year old daughter a few nights ago - it is indeed a 'Chick Flick' - the movie theater was 95% women (and by the end of the movie, EVERYONE was crying)...........!

    So - that seems fair to me - she pays for the Chick Flick, you pay for the movie!

    Just - establish these 'terms' early on!

    When my boyfriend and I started dating...over 5 years ago...he insisted on paying for everything. Nothing weird, or in my face. Just, without hesitation when the bill would come he'd pull out his wallet. At first it was great. I had always been the breadwinner in previous relationships and I always had to pay. But after a couple dates I got uncomfortable and insisted to pay. As the relationship progressed and we moved in together we worked out that I buy groceries and he pays for date nights. I don't know...I just don't feel like the guy should pay for everything ALL the time. The first couple dates sure...but at some point the woman needs to step up.

    Especially because she asked you out...to a teen novel turned chick flick...I'd give her a second to grab the bill but if she doesn't make a move I guess cover it. But really though...at some point she's going to need to pay.

    She asked so more likely she will pay but Id prob be a lil down if you didnt offer. Its a dang movie and she is taking you on vacation.

    Oh and you said she didnt call a month and a half. Phone works both ways.

    I think in the courting phase, the moment you stop paying (especially if you have to ask her to pay) is the moment you go to the...

    To hell with others opinions. Do you. I would still pay for her if I had an interest in her. My female friends that I have that I don't have feelings for other than friendship, dutch is fine.

    What if I am just trying to like date her and you know.. like do mutually fun adult activities with her and grow as a friend with her.. .like I'm trying to take a long break from 'being' with someone... There are a few other people I'm seeing that I'm also very partial towards.

    Is this english? Because I don't understand what's being said here.

    Wait I haven't understood much of what this guy types

    Just some helpful advice---^This type of crap when you analyze and glorify yourself is annoying as *kitten*, and it is a huge turnoff to women. If this is the type of thing you say to women (or anyone), you should stop. Good luck with everything.

    She asked you out. She pays.

    The end.

    I'd still pay, but I'm a southerner, and that's how we roll.

    Which is why I <3 me a good ol' southern man.

    How YOU doin? :flowerforyou: :tongue:

    ^appreciate your helpful advice - I'm not analyzing myself! I'm explaining my makeup because this guy thinks I'm unhappy - I didn't write that it is my bio! My genetic makeup! The wiring that takes place in my body.. it is like my point earlier about no one being unique - we all have character bios that can be broken down level by level and the more they get leveled the more you realize we are all nothing special at all - I'm not happy about the fact that we all can be compartmentalized myself - but we all can be and its just the way it is -

    I read everything, but your last question and line was "What's the classy approach?" You already know what that is, it's paying. Sorry to all the women-libbers out there, but there's something to be said about a man in control, in charge, and taking care of you. in a gentlemanly manner. If you hadn't stuck that last question in there, I would probably have answered a bit differently.

    Just tossing a grenade... equal rights... share the responsibility of paying... this is purely my opinion for 100% equal rights. Don't complain about lesser wages if you expect the man to pay for everything haha... I think we should be equal... equal pay... equal responsibility... including household responsibilities and covering tabs. Just saying, definitely a double standard.

    Exactly... they come out of the woodworks in here. Look at the last thread this guy started, he was bragging about all of his expensive stuff and being a completely arrogant *kitten*, and some of the GDs were like "is their a Mrs Tolerable <3" lol... but really should have replaced the heart with <$$

    This is one of the reasons I normally dislike women. If you want equal rights, pay for your own *kitten*. The man is not your moneybags, unless that's the prearranged agreement (which probably means you should be in the kitchen making a sammich while being barefoot).

    But in DATING, if a woman asks a man out, she should pay. If he offers, she should offer to split it. If he insists, fine, let him pay, thank him, and move on. Even if a man asks me out, I still offer to split.

    Why? Because a man isn't an object that equals money.
