That's true, but by that point you have more of an understanding of each others finances, and obviously you can work it out from there, so there won't be any awkward moments like going to a restaurant that is too expensive for one person or the other. Obviously the person who is more well off will be taking care of things from that point forward.

Ive always offered to pay on date 1, but I dont keep paying...if she never offers to pay towards the bill I finish with her, I dont like self centred people...in fairness though the majority of women Ive dated have been fair enough about it.

I'd offer to pay, and if she says no then I'd split it with her.


But if she offered to pay it would be even better of course...

Ah but of course a lot of people would be shocked at that cause you can't let a Woman pay for a meal. What a load of rubbish, why can't us men be treated like kings

Some women only want to be equal when it suits them I think LOL


And before you all start, I said some.

Would offer to pay in the hope that she offers to split it, happy to pay for drinks but when a girl wants me to pay for a full on meal that's pushing it (not that I know anything about dates)

Thats true sadly its human nature. I do think some take advantage of those old fashion values. I've had some great experiences were some women got seriously upset i paid for everything and some bad were some don't even put their hands in their purses.

I always offer to split the bill and I always stand my round. If someone insisted on paying I'd let them, but I would reciprocate by perhaps buying tickets for something. I earn a decent salary, I wouldn't expect someone to pay for me all the time. I'd find it a bit embarrassing.

Yeah, this pretty much.
