TheSilentType Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 What should they be financially responsible for on the date? Say you asked them out? Gas prices are getting pretty high. Would it be reasonable to expect them to pay for half the gas if you pay for the meals/drinks? I mean where I am all the interesting places are far from the suburbs...so it really consumes a lot of gas going from there and back. And they would rather I drive. If we go on multiple dates then all that driving really adds up. By the way, I'm a student and I have no income.
Star Gazer Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I don't care what the state of the economy is and gas prices are, if someone asked me to chip in for gas on a date, that would be the last date.
Enema Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I agree with Star Gazer. If you don't have money you'll never satisfy a woman.
vivrantflo Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Dude are you serious?? It's a date. You're supposed to pay for everything. You don't want her to associate you with an expense.. You pay for drinks, meals, tickets, flowers, cover charges, admission fees and yes.. gasoline for YOUR OWN car. Once you're in a relationship, all bets are off, cause you're now a partnership.. even then, I don't like my woman spending anything.. If you can't afford all that.. seriously, you're not in a position to date... cause in all honesty, and jokes aside.. you need money to take a woman out.
carhill Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 By the way, I'm a student and I have no income.How do you buy the car you will take the lady out in, pay for the gas, provide for the insurance? At what tender age did you realize you'd be working the rest of your life For me, it was 10. Welcome to the real world. Get a part-time job, save some money and impress your lady with your education, work ethic and generosity. BTW, I'll share a tip I found very profitable from my single years. Whenever a lady would turn me down for a date or stand me up, I'd put the money (usually 50 bucks) into a Exxon DRIP I had set up just for that purpose. I got to where I enjoyed getting turned down That was 20 years ago. Wanna guess how well wanting to pay for dates has done for me?

I'm anti-flower.
lino Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Expecting a girl to help you pay for petrol won't get you far. I saw you writing in another thread of yours about what women expect from guys in their 20s that you have a car & live on your own. How do you do these things without an income?
blind_otter Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I'm also curious - how do you live if you have no income? Who pays your rent, car insurance, your daily expenses? Anyway, I'm also with the others on this one - first date, YOU asked = YOU pay. Once you get into a relationship, things can be split 50/50, but when you're dating the whole point is to court the person you are interested in.
