    All of them. It's the least you can do since we'll probably end up your mother, cook, social planner, tax accountant, therapist...the list goes on and on. Any man want to challenge me on that? I call your b*****.

    I would prefer to cook, actually. I also would rather handle my own taxes. I think my therapist would be listening to problems ABOUT my girl.. so I doubt that would work either..

    I love these double standard threads. Did we really need another one? Everyone is different. I think that relationships are best built on equality and fairness. Take care of your own tab, it will cause less issues down the road.

    LMAO - let me edit this. The woman should pay for none of them. It's the least you (as a man) can do since we'll probably end up your mother, cook, social planner, tax accountant, therapist...the list goes on and on. Any man want to challenge me on that? I call your b*****.

    looks like you've been dating a bunch of losers

    I always prepare to pay for my portion of the date but I've never asked a guy out so I don't know what the "rules" are.

    so how does this discussion even come up?

    The discussion about who pays or going out? When the check comes, I get my wallet out. If he insists on paying the check it's not a big enough deal to me to make a scene about it but otherwise just split it down the middle. If he pays, I'll offer to pick up the movie tickets or drink tab or whatever.

    About going out, right now I'm pretty busy (divorced parent, in school full time and working full time) so I don't really ask anyone out but if someone asks me out and it's not finals or mid-terms or a 60 hour work week and my daughter doesn't have a bunch of gymnastics stuff and I'm interested in the person, I'll probably agree. Yeah, I'm not dating a whole bunch at the moment.

    If you're asking why I answered the question even though I said I've never asked anyone out, it's because I think the dates (at least the first couple) should be dutch regardless. Why should one person pay to get to know another person?

    I think this honestly hits the nail on the head. I think this is the most fair thing anyone has stated.

    How is paying for a meal being a gentleman? That is ridiculous.

    I personally pay for alternating dates. I let him pay for the first one, since he asked, but then I grab the check on the next. The guy I'm currently dating said that I'm the first chick who's ever offered to pay, and he seemed to appreciate it.

    I've never paid on a date, but of course I'm not cool enough to ask a guy out.:ohwell:
    One thing I wonder about is this- Sometimes my ex's become friends, and when we go out, they STILL pay. I feel like I should pay for myself since we are "just friends" but people just assume it's "together" and the guys (my friends) just pay it...

    Hm... maybe I should be more outspoken, and be all "I HAVE A JOB! I CAN PAY FOR MY OWN MEAL!!" ... *Things to ponder*
