It should be whoever initiated the date. If I ask a guy out, I pay, and vice versa. If it's a relationship, I expect to trade off. I get the movie, he gets dinner. Unless he makes a gazillion dollars. Dating is expensive!! Don't forget, women have LOTS of unseen dating expenses - make up, hair, waxing, clothes. I always try to be fair though.

OK obviously being a girl i know what u should do. Girls like it when guys act funnny but stay themselves. Try going to see a movie that sh'es been dying to see. But remember, if you are the one asking her out, you're paying for it. And just remember to be yourself! ;) GL

I believe on the first couple dates the guy should always assume that he is paying unless she insist, and then he should not except her money until they have went out on more than three dates. Then from there on i believe it's up to either.

Call her to confirm the date . . . that is it.\n\nWhile you are on the date . . . make sure you get separate checks . . because if she is independent like she says she is . . . she should be willing to pay for her own meal.  If she objects . . . tell her that you are respecting her independence and since you asked me out . . . the asker is responsible for the entire bill . . . and I would rather pay my own way.

I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned on that one.  The gentleman should pay the lady's way.  Of course, that can be a little flexible, but in general, I think I was more comfortable paying for dates, even when I wasn't earning all that much.

You ask a girl out which is like going to dinner or going to the movies for example.  The guy typically pays for everything.  Or a cheaper date could just be renting a movie, making dinner and just enjoying being with each other

I'd guess she thinks you're a sweet guy and actually does like you.  If you're interested in her, there's no harm in asking her on a date.  Just be sure she realizes its a date and not friends hanging out.

It's really easy for a girl to ask a guy out.  I'm a guy, I would know.  I've never turned a girl down.  Women are observative, and will go with their intuitions when it comes to men.  They can decide in ten seconds whether they'd like a guy or not.  Men always want to see where things could go.  The answer will be yes, believe me.  The way I would ask would just be something like, "Hey, do you want to get together and do something sometime?"  Make it really vague.  The answer WILL be yes.  Now, the ball's in your court.  Make him pick what and where.  Good luck.

If this is a first date... no, it will not lead to other dates.  Only your wit and humor will lead to 2nd dates.  What you have planned is a way for her to get free stuff.  Have her meet you for lunch, show up a few minutes late and let her order her own.  Why spend your hard earned dough especially if she earns her own.  All that says is "I am willing to pay you for your time"!!!  Lay on the cocky/funny... bust on her 1970s shoes/bag, if she can't take a joke... forget her.

If the guy asks you out on a date, as in, not "friends" but a real live date, he is making the invitation to take you out and treat you. That is the understanding. If you ask him out, then it should be you who pays, since you would be the one planning the date. If the outing is more casual, like just coffee, and he doesn't offer to pay when he asks you to hang out, order your biscotti to go: because he just wants to be friends, or is totally clueless and not boyfriend material.

Yes girls like when guys ask them out. Even if their answer is no...still know that they are flattered that you asked them. Every girl loves to feel special...and thats how it would make her feel.

I guess it really depends on the nature of the relationship and the personalities of the individuals.  For the most part I would say that the guy should assume the role of paying for the dates.  However some more independent women or those in a more friend-like relationship might feel more comfortable going dutch.\n\nJust don't ever assume or expect the girl to pay unless it was already agreed upon.  Always at least offer or be willing to pay the bill.

I always recommend that you simply ask the person out, before it's to late or drives you crazy. It at least shows that you are serious. If they say no, then it is their loss. And if they say yes, then, well it can be the start of something beautiful. Asking them out via their friends is simply a cowardly way to do it. So go on, bite the bullet and ask her out!

see i guess im old fashioned cuz i always have to pay.. i just hate when you go somewhere & they expect it to be paid for.. like snobbishly though.. cuz i have no problem paying for any of it.. especially if i ask.. but even if im invited i usually slip the waiter my card without her knowing \ni think a guy should pay but its cool if a girl wants to pay once in a while

Id go for it. The guy dosent always have to ask the girl out. Ask him, and if he says no, then at least you tried.

You can offer to pay - but do it discreetly. Most guys like to be a gentleman and pay for everything - but it does get expensive! Maybe, let the guy pay. Then discreetly give him the money to pay for something - so it looks like he's paying. He will think you're thoughtful - you've considered his finances and understood his pride! \n\nOf course you can take it in turns paying. You also have to take into account who has the higher income - if he does and he insists on paying - maybe you should let him - if there are no strings attached. But some men see paying for everything as "buying" you and you then feel under their control. Don't let that happen.
