ku2008 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 A friend and her husband is setting me another one of her friends up on a blind date. They are going to so things aren't too odd???? Who pays???? Me for mine, for my dates or for everyone????
melodymatters Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Well sounds like you are the woman, correct ? I personally would think either my married friends would pick up the whole check for "their pals" ( depending on ages and incomes) OR they pay their couple bill and you and " joe" pitch in your shares, OR " joe" if he likes you ( or depending on HIS finances) picks up your share or the whole check because he's so happy about the introduction. Yeah, not much help, but as the woman agreeing to this blind date, I would NOT pick up the whole check, or your dates share. The most would be pitching in my share.
Lizzie60 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 If I were part of the couple setting my friends on a blind date..I would pick up the tab.. but you can't expect them to pay... If I were you, I would ask for my own check when the waitress takes the order... simple and that way you don't feel obligated to anyone.
Cad Rake Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 weird situation I'm stumped. Probably best to go halfsies.
directx Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 I would always pay. One, its just a nice thing to do. Whats the damage? $20 at most? Its classy and its only a few bucks. Plus, the chick might have some hot friends. Opportunities to look good dont come often , and for $20 or $30, I'll take advantage of such an opportunity every time.
Cad Rake Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 guess it depends.. don't want the other to think you're his/her sugardaddy/momma. Especially if you don't hit it off with the blind date. That would be awful, paying for some ugly forker just so you could get the hell out of the restaurant.
