In my old fashioned way of thinking , Yes , the guy should pay for the first date if he asked you out ..

Others may think its not FAIR and I'd love to hear your thoughts mobians :)

No ifs ands or buts YES

umm. maybe we'll share! haha cuz i do eat a looooooot!

Ann the man pays no matter what thats just me

Ya, I mean it's not like it's a rule that a guy HAS to pay on a first date, but if he likes the girl enough to ask her out on a date in the first place then it would make sense he would want to be a gentleman and pay for whatever they go do. Ill usually pick up the tab on a date no matter what number date it is with 1 exception and under a few rules. The exception is if I'm asked to join her in doing something that she knows I don't want to do and which isn't something inexpensive. Aka, the opera or something. The rules that apply if im always picking up the tab is don't run up the bill ordering 15 dollar frozen girly drinks, don't order the lobster unless I do first, and humor me by at least pretending to reach for the check while grabbing your purse when the waiter brings it. Lol a reach when the bill comes, that's all I'm asking for :)

yep the ol'reach 4 trick

@romeobro: no bro. i wanna help my boy in everything specially when it comes at "money matters" haha! i dont want other people think that am only dating him cuz of his money lol.

I always end up paying. But I say no.

Lol blue, same here man.. that's why I just accepted it so at least I can lay down some rules and keep the tab reasonable

Hiya Rainbowbutterfly, great post as always girl:))) hmmm, a guy paying first is a great first impression. Things have changed so much in the realm of expectations now though until I'd pay my portion of the date just not to get a headache at the end of it. The guy pays, he's like I just paid all of this money. What can I expect to get in return at the end of this date? smh lol I also take enough to catch a cab in the event things get too crazy. Time has changed so much.
