supertouch Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 with my last girlfriend, it seemed like she didn't mind our "arrangement" to have me pay for one date and then have her pay the next. she even insisted many times that she pay her own way when i told her i really wanted to pay. however, shortly before we broke up, she got mad at me because i was a few bucks short for a sushi dinner and criticized me. do you guys (girls particuarly) mind going 50/50 on dates?
Tyra Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I think that it is very essential to arrange 50/50 on dates. You know, sometimes you may have the money and she don't, and vice versa.
roxy_1980 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I personally think that going dutch on dates as strictly as your ex insisted to on is fine when you're first going out, but it should be more relaxed as the relationship progresses. Both should contribute, but if your a little short it shouldn't be a big deal. Actually on the first few dates, I insist on going splits for each individual date. You never know if you're gonna see the person again and I don't want him feeling like I owed him anything if I walk.
DateAnalyzer Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 The only thing I'm buying on a first date is Coffee-lol No meals
AHIWON Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Thats ok if my date brings it up and wants to pay half. Otherwise I just pick it up myself. Not an issue.
fray718 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I usually feel most comfortable when i take turns with the guy picking up the tab...but ususally the way it works out is that if it's an expensive restuarant then the guy gets it and if it's a more casual restaurant than i get it. If he pays 20 for parking, i get the drinks or something, etc...it usually ends not 50/50 in a way more like 70/30....
