<p>1) ... on the first date?
2) ... on a casual date?</p>
<p>Haha my brother’s GF bought him food on the “first date”, well, it was when she kind of asked him out.
I don’t mind paying for friends and people I’m close to, so I wouldn’t mind paying, but if he expects me to pay all the time, then I do not like.</p>
<p>1) The one that asked is the one that pays… But I’m not a fan of dinners for a first date
2) a casual date? Sometimes but not every time IMHO</p>
<p>She can pay for herself. A poor college student like me can’t pay for anything.</p>
<p>We gave you the right to vote…you can pay for your own damn meal.</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>This sexist tradition has to end.</p>
<p>But I’m gay anyways so it doesn’t affect me.</p>
<p>Split or the one who asks. Always.</p>
<p>One who asks, pays.
If you guys date seriously then just alternate. It usually works out. </p>
<p>Also- it’s amazing how much a year or so can change HSL. Last time this thread came up, I got accused of being a feminazi because I said the man shouldn’t always pay. Go figure :p</p>
<p>^ Feminazi? LOL I’m no feminist but I think it’s silly that “boys who are gentlemen should pay” and such, then it’s like girls could go on a date for free dinner.</p>
<p>If the girl wants me to pay her way on our first date, then there won’t be a date after it and she will damn be paying her own way.</p>
<p>If we’re getting really serious (in love, not in like), then the guy can start paying.</p>
<p>the guy should pay unless the girl insists</p>
<p>If you don’t want to pay, there’s this:
a) excuse yourself to go to the bathroom
b) REACH… down for the shoe laces
Awkward if you do them both and she/he’s staring at you waiting for you to pay.</p>
<p>I am a feminist and I think it should be person who asks pays and then a split thereafter.</p>
<p>Not sure why someone would get angry at that or call it “feminazi” – isn’t this something that’s good for guys, to not always have to pay? You’d think that when a feminist supports women paying for dates and being drafted for the military that’s a show of good faith. It shows they really care about equality for everyone and not just more benefits for women only.</p>
<p>i had this girlfriend for like two years. it was terrible, and i was just too much of a puss to break it off with her. haha anyways, she EXPECTED me to pay for EVERYTHING. </p>
<p>like, she was liable to just come up to me after school and tell me to go with her to subway… i would go, not eat, and STILL have to pay for her meal.</p>
<p>and at least once a month, she expected me to drop dough for some shiztty fad restaurant that all the prissy girls love (and, typically, the food would blow my butt)… for out “monthiversaries.” like $40-50 for a meal.</p>
<p>that is some freakin ■■■■■■■■ ****, eh?</p>
<p>and don’t even get me started on christmas presents</p>
<p>No. Either try to split it or whoever asks pays. Unless the guy insists and won’t let you pay (because it’s pointless to make a big argument out of it either).</p>
<p>It should be whoever asks. Which should be the guy.</p>
<p>Do girls ask boys out on a date? I have yet to hear that one…</p>
<p>Guys should pay the first few times. Girls should pay after a few dates, or at the very least split the check. If she always expects you to pay, drop her.</p>
<p>Gotta admit that where I am, people always think that guys should pay on the first date. I didn’t hear about this ‘who asks should pay’ thing but it sounds great!</p>
<p>Casual date: Split; unless someone wants to pay for the other.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lmao I remember that debacle</p>
<p>Yes, if on a date. If casual friends, each could pay for their own meal, but even then…</p>
<p>^HSL was once conservative?</p>
