I'm going out with this dominican girl and her friend and my friend so its gonna be 4of us. This the first time I'm going out with her.

Do I have to pay for everything?

Posted

No.

 

Although the fact that there are four of you, your friend and you should probably agree to spring for the girls this time instead of making everyone pull out a wallet to divvy-up a tab four ways.

Will this make me look cheap

Posted

Is it a double date? If so you and your friend could split the bill...if it's not a date then everyone pays for themself.

Put your share on the table and, as if by magic, the other three will all follow suit. Hey presto! ;)

Will this make me look cheap

 

If the women don't pay for everyone, will they look cheap? If not, then you won't either. So many men are just a free ride for women wanting a free meal and other goodies. Someone has to say pay your own way.

If you are inviting her out for a meal, then I would say that it would be expected that you pay for your and her meal. Way, way back in the day when I was dating, if invited to dinner by a man, they paid. I paid the next time and if out for drinks, we went in rounds (taking turns to pay). I don't think the man should pay everytime, nor the woman if it comes to that. But, treats now and again are nice as long as it isn't expected.

My son who is 28yrs, says, he pays for the first date and if he is inviting the girl out for a meal, he always pays, if a joint decision they pay for themselves. His current girlfriend is a student, he works and has a good salary, he pays mostly as he knows she cannot afford it, she cooks them a meal and he takes the wine.

 

If she is your girlfriend, how do you usually tackle this? I hope you don't pay for everything and if she thinks you are cheap for not doing so, then I would think she isn't being realistic.

Hope it all goes well
