<p>1) 1st date…if the guy asked the girl out then YES ALWAYS!!
2) umm depends on who asked who out or just split it…i would split it. However, neither person should show up without change their pockets. </p>
<p>On a personal note, I had a boyfriend that made it seem like he was sacrificing his liver every time he had to pay. Afew times I would spot the distress on his face, and then say “its okay, I’ve got it”…but like come on, if he was dirt poor I would undeerstand but he had A LOT of extra spending money. I dropped him real quick. That relationship was over within 3 months…he was hot but selfish as hell. A guy not paying, especially if he asked you out, hints at some deeper underlying problem within his head…selfishness, etc. It’s not a good sign .</p>
<p>Nah- there were just a few posters that needed to adamantly oppose me no matter what I said. It’s cool though. They got me off my CC addiction :).</p>
<p>HSL has always been moderate but I am EXTREMELY liberal. I clashed with a lot of peeps.</p>
<p>If I ask you out, I should expect to pay. But why should I have to ask you out? Call me old fashioned <em>or</em> call me a feminist, but if you wanna call me either… don’t call me at all.</p>
<p>I’ll pay for the both of us if I know that the relationship is heading somewhere. If it looks like it’s going to be a one-time fling or hookup, then no, I won’t pay.</p>
<p>I’ve asked some of my girl friends. When a guy buys a girl a drink or meal or whatever, she thinks of him as a sucker and doesn’t respect him (especially if it’s the first date or first time together). Of course, these girls think highly of themselves, so only take this word of advice and apply it as you see fit.</p>
<p>If the guy asks me out, I always offer to pay, but I think it’s nice if they insist on paying for the first date. After that, we usually either split or alternate paying.
Guys shouldn’t always pay, cos that’s just not fair, but it’s nice to at least be offered. If I was the one asking them out, I’d pay for the first date too, it just seems the way to go.</p>
<p>Wow they need to get over themselves. She doesn’t deserve that guy if he was trying to be nice and that made her lose respect for him. What a load of bull.</p>
<p>Guy should be asking out and therefore should pay the first date.
Dinner dates alone, they should alternate.
Snacks/ice cream after movie etc. guy should pay.
Group dinner guy should pay for both.</p>
<p>Although, tbh, I think the only one that should really be in doubt is the first date. After that, they have this fancy thing called communication. lol</p>
<p>If a guy asks me out on a date, I expect that he at least offers to pay, and probably insists to pay. I always bring money and offer to foot my half of a bill, but I’m always going to let the guy be a gentleman if he offers. After the first date, it’s all equal/whoever asks pays.</p>
<p>It’s a dutch term, and I am coincidentally dutch, but anyways we have a dutch meal, which is simply, you pay for what you ordered, it’s not fair if I ordered a Pizza pie the size of saudi arabia (what cartoon reference is that?) and you order a sushi that we split costs or that either one of us pays for the other person, although after a meal, I can buy my girlfriend a sweet or cake or icecream, point is I’m not shelling in 20 bucks, and if the girl I want wants that, I don’t think we’ll ever match based on our different lifestyles, that said, most girls in my schools are materialistic *****es who want nothing but money and clothing and gifts and that’s how marriage ends with them too, in more gifts and objects.</p>
<p>You know what’s really annoying though? When the guy pays without even asking first. Like, I was meeting this guy at a movie theatre once and by the time I got there, he had already bought my ticket and it actually really bothered me at the time.</p>
<p>No. The guy should not. Especially in High School. High School Girls aren’t mature enough to want nice guys. There’s a whole forum on bodybuilders.com about it xD</p>
