When out on a date is it the man's responsibility to pay? If yes why?

I wouldnt say it was a man's responsibility, but it is traditional!\nPersonally I always have enough money to pay for both of us and will expect to pay for everything, especially on a first date.  I will try to refuse her paying for any part of it on the first date (I'm talking meals, cinema etc rather than flights somewhere - I'm not THAT rich!), unless she really insists on it.  As for more dates after I'd be happy to split the cost of stuff.  And if she wants to treat me thats great!

It's pretty much up to the individual.  Back in the day (decades ago) every thing was paid for so when you got paid you had nothing to spend it on.  If you were wise you saved it, otherwise they would go on spending sprees which usually involved booze and other unmentionables.  If the individual is married it's no different than being married to someone in the military as far as the time apart is concerned.

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

We'll  do you know the guy you want to go out with ? \nWe'll  just tell him that you have a extra ticket and you wanted to know if he is free.\nOr find out something that he like then  get something that has to do with that.

It is like that in the United States too . . . women expect men to pay for everything . . . dinner, drinks, shopping sprees, etc . . . if not they hold out.  And if they did . . . women still hold out . . . depending if the guy is hot enough.\n\nThe entire dating scene . . . is a form of legalized prostitution . . . that is it.\n\nWomen will deny it . . . but it true . . . \n\nAnd I have source for you to listen too.

Take him to small claims court.  Be prepared to talk in detail about when he agreed to pay you, and how much he agreed to pay you.  You mentioned he paid when he could.... if you have any paycheck stubs left, bring those to court, it will show that he did in fact pay you for your time (and that you expected to be paid).  And, bring that calendar, he'll have a hard time denying that you work on the dates indicated in the calendar.\n\nGood luck!

I am old fashion...He pays for the date, always.  I refuse to accept his role in the relationship.  I think the problem with most men is that we as working, independent women feel the need to display our equality.  I don't.  I am equal but you will open my door.  I am equal, but you will pay for the date.  I am equal but if you see me carrying heavy bags or see something in my house that needs repair, you will offer your services.  And in return, I cook my butt off, never say no and make each intimate moment an adventure.  Also, leave that tired clown alone, he's not a real man and will never make you happy.

My boyfriend and I take turns treating each other to meals. I feel in an opening stage of the relationship, when you are presumably asking the woman out, then you should pay. Going "dutch" on the first few dates is fine for high school, but not in the grown-up world, in my opinion.\n\nAs the relationship develops and your roles become more equal, women should totally chip in and pay for a share of evenings out -- or at the very least offer to. I've never really had the big hang-up of having to be "treated" by a man every time I go out, so I've never really had a problem stepping up and paying the bill half the time, and then there's times -- when I took my boyfriend out for his birthday or to celebrate his promotion -- that it was my treat and totally in my place to pay the tab.

This one's easy: Since it's a first date, why don't you each pay your own way?

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.

depends on their contract statement.  some say they absolutely have to have to payment BY the due date, not just postmarked

Yes, it's probably true.  Stop making him feel like crap by asking him to take you out.  Find things you can enjoy that don't cost a lot or crack open your own wallet to pay for the 2 of you.  Men arent' just meal tickets.

I think that if he's a doctor and makes more money than you that it's fine if he always pays.  I mean, don't suggest the most expensive restaurant and always order steak, but I think it's realistic in a serious relationship when someone makes more money than the other for one person to always pay.  Anyways, now he knows that you at least notice that he pays since you offered to.  My boyfriend always pays!
