"Guys should be the ones to pay" Your opinion?

[HuoXingC]

I'm just curious about what you ladies think. If you were dating a guy, would you expect him to pay for everything? Or are you one of those people who are all about equality and believe in splitting the bill 50/50?  

[Laur-Lau]

I believe if he asks you out, then yes he most certainly should be paying the bill. Otherwise thats just bad manners. However, sometimes its nice for a woman to treat her man, but not too often, and she really shouldnt be splitting the bill 50/50 too often..although i guess it really depends on certain circumstances like the length of the relationship, the seriousness of it, and the amount of money and number of times you go out and actually have to spend money.

Instead of splitting the bill 50/50, I prefer the idea of alternating. Or, whoever asks the other out is the one who pays the bill. Something fair. Unless you're married, then it's pretty much both of you guys' money anyway...

If he wants to flatter a girl he should. blaugh  

[anticupid16]

If he insists, then I guess so.
I'm not comfortable with getting gifts, or having people pay for me, lol. You should see the havoc I wreak at Christmas with my family trying to get a list from me.

Same here.
I would say half the time I end up treating the guy, or we split 50/50. I don't like when people give me things, especially since I'm better off than most of my friends.
Especially the broke college students who still insist on buying me things.

I've always refused to let the male fully pay, unless the bill was over 30$.

Hmm. I'd let the guy pay because I have no moneys. sad

 

[srv1025]

I think that for the first few dates he should pay but when the relationship is established they should alternate who pays (that's what my boyfrined and I do)  

[Chelsea X111]

well I would want the guy to pay for expenses at restaurants likew hen we are dating but then if we decided to become like boyfriend/girlfriend or become husband/wife then i wouldn't mind splitting 50/50  

[Kaiyle Brightblade]

I think this outdated practice goes back to the time when women didn't work. I don't agree with it. On the other hand, when you don't know someone very well it can be rude to defy expected patterns of behavior. I would let the guy pay for the first few dates, but then I would start paying for some things later. I wouldn't try to be super aggressive about splitting everything 50/50, but I would try to make things even out. Like if he buys the movie tickets, I'll buy dinner.

If he wants to prove he's a good caretaker he better let me mooch off of him. 3nodding

I'd offer to pay 50/50, but if he wants to pay, he can pay.
Unless I ask him out, in which, I will pay.

The asker should pay. Always.
But I always offer to take care of the whole bill. I usually get turned down.

And the whole bill thing is because it is too much work to split bills. I'm lazy.  

[Meth on Meth]

Basically as RosesFallingLikeRain said. That, and I think in my own conscience I would feel bad about making them pay, even if they did ask first. It's just how I am.
