Survey time: Should a guy pay on a first date?
Just wanting to know everyone's view on who should pay on a frist date. I know equal right and all that but if I guy does not pay for me on the first date I just assume he is a tight a*rse and he not getting a second date.
Sunday night, first date, dinner came to $75 I gave him $50 and he took it and did not offer any change, hmm nice!

Of course the guy should pay! That's what a gentleman does.0

If he wants to then yes or if he invited you but if you ask him then you should offer to pay.0
-
Wow! Did he ask you out?0
-
My opinion if a guy doesn't at least offer to pay, he's a cheap a** and not worth your time. Guess I'm old fashioned about that sort of thing.0

If he wants to then yes or if he invited you but if you ask him then you should offer to pay.
As a male feminist, I completely agree with this.
As a gay man, one of the guys always pays, lol.0 -
If he asked me out I would expect him to pay, I may leave the tip or pay for drinks or something else we may do. That dude should have paid for the meal. If a man is having money problems and I suggest the date, I would tell him "I got you, no problem".0

i agree as long as he's the guy that asked for the date. if you asked for it, then i'd be willing to go dutch. but it's always a bonus if they pay on those dates too (and they usually do).

I think the guy pays on the first date. After that, there should be a little back and forth, if you're going out a lot and that kind of thing. I was with someone for a while that never ever paid, ever. And, it really got to me after a while. I never said anything, which is totally my fault. But, I guess I didn't know how to bring it up. Just was weird.0

I guess it depends who asks who? If I ask him, I expect that we'll split the bill evenly. Slightly outdated but I'd feel weird paying for the whole bill (while still in the early days of dating). Either way, I go in ready for a split bill but if he offers to pay, then that's a nice bonus. I'd be miffed about not getting your change from $50, but sometimes there are other factors to be considered, like paid parking?0

A guy should ALWAYS pay on the first couple/few dates. It's nice and appreciated when a woman offers to help out, but the guy should simply pick up the tab himself. If it was just a casual lunch and she offers to get the tip, I think the guy should agree.0
-
I'd say split it...0

Yes, every time. I'm all for women's rights, but men get off so easy now. Them paying for dinner (or drinks, or even just coffee) is a must!0

yep0 -

The guy should pay!0

Agreed.0 -
The guy should always pay ! Chivalry isnt dead yet!0
-
Yes, he asked me out
Why did you even offer to pay? I wouldnt be surprised if he thought you didnt have a good time and there wouldnt be a second date anyway.0 -
If he asked you out...he pays - if you asked him out...you should be prepared to pay. A true gentlemen will pay regardless.0
-
guy pays. if a girl tried paying me for her meal, she'd have to find a creative way to get the money into my jacket or car or something.0
-
I'm old fashioned, so I always have and will, BUT WTH happened with the women's lib *kitten*? I guess "equality" only counts in certain situations. If you got a problem with that, refer to my initial response.

I don't really know who should pay, but whoever it is better not think it entitles them to anything.0
-
Im old school... but I not only think he should pay on the first date... I think he should pay for every date... Maybe thats why I dont get dates! Haha! I wouldnt go out for a second date if he wouldnt pay for at least the first date!0
-
i like splitting personally on first date0
-
I will physically fight a guy before I let him pay, but that's just me.
Although if he didn't offer, I'd wonder. And I expect them to fight me about it. Not that I know much about dating anymore!0 -
Yes, he asked me out
DUDE!!!! I wouldn't go out with him again... that was lame!
He absolutely should have paid!
When a guy asks me out...I offer to pay the tip... or drinks... and that's only sometimes... depending on how I feel about the guy.
Loser!
Men should be gentlemen until ... well always... but until the lady lets them know where she stands on such things.0 -
I think the person asking for the date should pay. If I ask someone to go out with me (friend or date) I pay. If I am asking you to go with me then I think I should make sure you are covered.0

women should always pay0
