Question:

Do you think its right letting the guy pay for everything when out on a date?

Asked in Singles & Dating  |  275 days ago

I personally don't like letting the guy pay for everything when out on date, especially in today's modern society where women are now are strong and independent. So I always prefer to pay half, but the guy continuously refuses to accept my money, which is really annoying. As a result, I need to find clever ways of giving him the money back, like slipping it in his jacket pocket when not looking LOL! =P

Just wondering what your thoughts are about this

  2. Good evening,

    I would say this is a 2 way thing you should be for it sometimes and let the guy pay for it probably most of the time don't make the habit of him paying all the time - its best to keep it in the middle I like your idea of putting it in his jacket

  3. Hello there MidnightBlue,
    you seem ever so lovely and i love the change of Dp, suits you =)
    I dont know but i'd always feel terrible if the guy had to pay everything, sometimes i'd feel i'd want to repay them back somehow becasue it doesnt always have to be their responsibilty to do so, it wouldnt be fair to expect that of them in my opinion.
    Nevertheless, it is traditional and sometimes i'd imagine they guy would rather pay than splitting i guess, as it may feel more normal.
    Anyways Hope i have helped and be sure to keep yabbing =)

  5. You are right & I feel the same way. In a modern world where many women want to be independent and prove they can do things on their own that is a way to prove it. Women who think that a man should pay for everything is picking that up from people that get that mindset of those that want to bring back the 40's & 50's.

  11. I think it should be burden on anyone. Treat him as friend and share the treats on dating.

  12. I think it's wrong
    okay if he's did it once you do it next and from there you both pay, its equal and fairness and better that he's not just doing everything you both are.

  13. I agree with you MidnightBlue - women should be able to pay too. A lot of the time however men feel the need to pay but it doesn't make us feel any better about it. The next time you're out, tell him that you want to treat him and he should let you because it will make you happy. Taking it in turns is a good idea or even paying halves :) It's nice to always offer to pay but if he's asked you on the date, and he wants to pay then sometimes let him :)

  14. LOL. finally I got someone who got the same thinking as me but, only difference is I don't have a bf nor been on a date - but yes, I have the same ideology on this situation. Both should be able to pay. =)
