Dating and Paying

[Echewta]

I certainly don't mind paying for dates and I'm always impressed, especially on a first date, if a woman throws out a card or cash. It does strike me as rude if you are on a first/blind date, the chemistry just isn't there and yet the woman still expects you to pay. Rude. You aren't even a friend. I hope you are reading this.

I'm still in the early stages of a new relationship, and we seem to alternate paying for things. We always have the obligatory faux confrontation over who is going to pay, before one of us says, "I got this one, you paid last time." At that point, the one who paid previously is forced to put away their cash until next time.

People that don't at least offer to pay suck.

I paid for the rohypnol, you should get the drinks.

[jabumbo]

i prefer to pick mine up in dark alleys and pay with dirty dollar bills

[cosmo105]

I offer to go Dutch most of the time. I have a thing for clog sex.

[Dorothy Wood]

yeah, I usually don't let a dude pay for me if it's not a good date. I figure it kinda solidifies the idea that we're not gonna be going any further romantically.

me and the boy split everything and always have...he's very frugal though. and now that he's funemployed, I sometimes pay, but oddly enough he'll usually get me back eventually and is more generous now than he was before.


anyway, yeah, that's lame, sorry dude.


and ew, I hate it when my sex gets clogged!

If you're not sure if there's any spark, a first date should just be coffee or something. Then whoever extended the invitation can still pick up the tab, but there's not a huge loss of money or time.

[Echewta]

I know coffee or tea is the safe way to go but I find it so boring, espcially since I don't drink coffee and find hanging out at coffee shops so Silverlake.

If you think about it, caramel is just as arbitrary as chocolate.

I always offer to pay on dates, but I still kinda believe the guy should pay for the first date...especially if he asked me out. I agree, if there's no spark dutch is the way to go. No matter who pays, I always offer.

[MC Moot]

No matter who pays, I always offer.

Excellent...can you pick me up around 8?

;)

I always at least started pulling out my wallet with full intention of paying my half. If the man would insist that he takes care of it, I always said I don't mind paying half. If he kept insisting, then I'd let him.

But otherwise not offering at ALL, or offering without actual intent to pay your half, is really rude.

[miss soul fire]

I always offer to pay, but on first dates, even offering to pay (which I always do), I think it's nice if the guy pays, because it shows he wants to impress you and that's a good sign. I know it's old fashioned, but at least on a first date, it's rude if the guy doesn't pay. It's not the money, it's the gesture.

I already paid for the guy once, but I was so wrong about him. He never even got me a lift. What a stupid ass I was.

[Helvete]

I pay sometimes, she pays sometimes, we both earn and we are always about square with the bill paying. I can't remember if I paid the first bunch of times though.

[paul jones]

I'm not paying for anyone else but me from right now.

Bitches will have to beg and take of all their clothes before I part with my hard earned cash.(y)

[Bitchamachacha]

I recently had a bad date. A bad, baaaaad date. I refused to let him pay though he begged to.

Coffee and tea can be rather drab. Ice cream and a walk in a park is always nice to start with, especially during this time of year. If it's flowing, then offer up dinner after the fact.

And ice cream= getting to see your date use their tongue! ;)

Brilliant

[Adam]

If they bite the ice cream then you'll know there is some schooling to be done right?

[Echewta]

Depends on what you are into Adam.

[Bitchamachacha]

I have chocolate covered bananas in the fridge.

They are delicious.

:D

ha! Awesome. I never paid attention to that with my current partner. But I can say that in that department I am super, super, super super super SUPER lucky.

Mind is blown beyond belief every time. I have not been a timid girl over my short life on this earth. But I've never felt anything close to what he can do. Ever.

I'm old fashioned and I instinctively pull out my card no matter what the situation. Honestly even if I am with a group of friends I pull out cash first, and I try to do it as non-desrcript as possible. I don't let the awkward "oh hey heres the bill" part even happen, I just pay it. The cost of the awkward "hey let's poole our cash" moment overrides the cost of the bill. I'd rather not have to fuck with it.

[Myu-to]

If I asked soemone out, I would pay. If was kind of mutual meeting, dutch. If they asked me out just to have sex with me, I'll let them pick up tab.
