Why not? Both people are shopping for the same thing.

lol I was actually reading in my local paper while waiting for my coffee that of those that do offer to pay their share, 48% don't want the guy to take their offer.

I agree but women are looking for That One Amazing Guy not a "two-thirds" dude.

 

Plan the date so it stays inexpensive yet fun and money shouldn't be an issue.

Because they're testing. Rather manipulative.

And I'm one of those guys that doesn't give a crap who pays in the end.

 

If I have to pay all of the time, great. If she wants to pay, I wouldn't turn it down.

 

As long as the bill gets paid, I'm content.

They can look all they want. They're not entitled to one.

I've always been a believer that if someone offers the date, they should pay.

 

 

I mean, also most women aren't that stingy. I'm sure they'd be willing to cover something here and there.

 

 

The sharing thing is cool, but I feel like that takes a pretty big aspect of romance out of it.

I have more problem with the fact that most women give zero input early on to where to eat then actually paying

 

Not asking you to split the godamn atom here just throw something out there youve surely had food before and an opinion on it

I view women expecting to have the date paid for them like I view waiters expecting to be tipped -- I'm happy to do it, but I hate it when the other person feels entitled to it.

 

As far as dates, I'd like a woman to offer to pay for something, even if it's just leaving the tip. I'll reject the offer, but I'd like it to be made.

I just tell them where we're going. They tend to want the guy to lead on stuff like that so I'll indulge.

And for the One Amazing Girl, the 2/3 guys might want to pay.

"Leading" a person what to eat seems like something you do for a child not an adult

Why is anybody paying?

 

Regular dates are unnecessary. I've taken girls to ice cream shops before, then back home to my house. Total cost like $10. I've also brought girls for a walk. Total cost $0.

 

Traditional "dating" is a thing of the past and unnecessary today.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I've always paid for dates. Just seems like the "manly" thing to do.

 

Now, if she offers to pay, I will graciously accept, but I don't fret about things like who is gonna pay or where to go.

Well, you don't order them to eat their brussels sprouts, you suggest things and usually they agree. Women tend to like this from my experience.

:laugh: I love reading these threads - this is such a nothing scenario for me. When I've been out with women, I haven't had to spend a great deal of money. The most I spent was on a festival ticket and that was just for me to go! :laugh:

She doesn't exist.

 

Why so bitter? What horrible experience did you encounter to so twist your views?

Women already know what they like. They want to know what you like and what you'll think they'll like in the early dating stages. If it's something they end up liking, that wins you points. If it's not, you can still gain points if it ends up being a funny story.

 

Now down the road after you've gotten to know each other, then they'll expect you to know what they like.

Agreed.

 

If men are taking women to a fancy steakhouse as a first date, and paying for it, they're losing out here, man.

I absolutely agree with having non-expensive or "free" dates, but traditional dating is nowhere near obsolete or of the past. It is alive and well and no sign it will go away anytime soon.

 

But, I do find myself taking my dates to events that do not require spending much or at all. Not b/c it's cheaper, rather, b/c it's more creative at times or fun.

Pay for the first date and we're good. The second date and on I'm happy to go dutch unless you've revealed you're a Cretan in which case I feel I'm entitled to compensation for putting up with your *****.

 

Yeah, I said it. I'm a woman and I feel entitled. Someone go get the popcorn. :cool:
