Ok so I started dating this guy about a month ago. First time it was a casual meet up and when the bill came I offered my half but he paid the tab. So, since he paid I was thinking, "hm ok maybe that means he wants to see me again?"

 

Anyway we have gone on a few dates since then. The next time we hung out we went for drinks and he paid. Then we went out to eat and I paid the bill. Then... we went out again and switched back and forth paying a couple times so... you get the idea. We have been taking turns paying which I think is fair.

 

Then he made dinner and had me over at his place and had wine and stuff and then last night we went out for dinner with some friends and I took the tab. It was a little more expensive though around $50 or so but this was after he made me dinner and all that. He seemed a tiny bit surprised that I was paying the bill but he went with it and then he paid for our drinks later after that.

 

Anyway, my question is....was it out of line to pay that last tab or should I have tried to split it? He cooked me dinner the time before so I figured I should. We are still in that "new" phase so I'm just wondering.

At this point in your relationship I think it's wise to talk to him about the finances of dating. What we think isn't as important as what you two think; it's your relationship.

If you can afford it, I see nothing wrong with it. You did it because you WANTED to, right? And didn't think anything of it. He was surprised because he's impressed.

 

There are a bunch of guys here on LS who'd like to date you. ;)

Of course it was fine. It was nice of you to pay!
