How many dates should a woman pay for??

@TylerJ76 Thanks, you look nice.

Where are you with this woman, acquaintances, friends, intimate or more? She asks you out, so you are going to let her foot the bill, maybe you could say, let's do dutch treat. If it works out, maybe you can always do that, or talk to her, find out what she can do, maybe you should be paying. if you're on a tight budget, talk to her and maybe come up with a plan. If you or her are going to be rigid about it, then it will never work out.

On our first date I asked him out (to see the Star Trek movie playing at the Skydome). I had got free tickets for that. He accepted and then said "But let's do dinner first." He paid for that. After we started going out we took turns, more because I insisted--he would have quite happily paid for them all. But I was a bit of an independent cuss. I had a crappy low-paying job and he had a good one, but I didn't care.

20 years later, we've been married for 18 of them, and we have a joint account, so when we go out, we pay.

I do think that the person who asks should be prepared to pay.

I was going to make an utter pig of myself and say..."as many as it takes for him to relinquish the goods," but I am a sweet middle-aged lady who would never say such a thing.
Nonetheless, if a woman does the asking she should pay.

Eta to add the rest of my post..

But i thinkbin my past if one party paid one time the other would pay the next.
