    I'm always the talkative one, so they always come to me about the check.

    They hand it to him, and he hands it to me. I always pay, because we share the account, and he doesn't want to have to deal with the math and all that.

    I did that once with an ex who never paid. It was still sitting there when I came back. The operative word in this story being 'ex'.

    I'm sorry but it serves you right. You go to the bathroom to avoid paying the bill??? Really??? You're a true gentleman huh..
    I think you missed the point. We had been going out for several years and I ALWAYS paid. I wanted to see if she would do it ONCE.

    I think you should ALWAYS be prepared to pay for at least your share of the bill. If you have only have $20. in your wallet then don't order expensive wine, lobster and steak and expect your date to pay for all of that. Be considerate.

    I didn't miss the point if you didn't make it.

    the guys I date have been the type to get seriously stroppy if I even think about paying, so I never paid much attention. I assume they'd hand the bill to whoever asked for the bill in the first place.

    Yeah I got that part, hence my initial reply. It's the other stuff he added later that he didn't mention.

    It actually seems like I get the check more than my husband does... I think it's because I tend to engage the server more than he does (like Michael_Lucas does), so it just seems like a matter of course to hand it to me. Just a hypothesis. I suppose I could just look like a sugar momma since my spouse is so much better looking than I am. :-P

    Just this.
    More of this.

    Unless someone reaches or asks for it.

    90% of the time, they place it at the end of the table, between the two of us.

    I can't ever remember being handed the check while with my Ex Husband, we're talking 35 years. When I'm with a female friend, it normally gets placed in the middle and we argue over who'll pay. :)
