Do you go dutch on a date?

It's a good idea on the first date - that way no one has any right to expectations of "tit for tat", so to speak.\n\nIf the first date goes well, I've always taken turns.  That sends a clear signal that you're on equal footing financially but want to continue seeing each other just because you like each other.  If you can't afford the same type of restaurant, pick something in your price range when it's your turn - or eat in.  Nothing beats a home-cooked meal for ambiance!

Yes, chicks dig burly rides, and it will make you appear to be a stud-muffin.  After you pay for the freaking gas in that thing, though, you'll be too damn poor to take anyone out on a date.  So you may want to rely on your personality to get dates instead.

AS AN AFRICAN LADY,LET ME SAY WE CARRY OURSEKVES BETTER BECAUSE WE KNOW WE ARE WORTH IT AND WE DONT TAKE BS FROM NOBODY. WE ARE CONFIDENT AND WE TRY TO KEEP YOU INTERESTED AND SOME OF US DON'T DO THE WHOLE THIRD DATE THING AND SOME OF US WANT COMMITMENT BECAUSE WE DESERVE IT NOT A FLING. THAT BEING SAID, SHOW THEM YOU WANT TO DATE THEM AND TRY NOT TO BE A SNOB  AND THAT YOU'RE THERE FOR THE LONG TERM. SINCE THE BAHAMAS IS A TOURIST PLACE, THEY MAY NOT BE INTERESTED BECAUSE THEY MAY THINK YOU ARE JUST A TOURIST PASSING THROUGH TO SEE THE PLACE, THROW AROUND MONEY AND GET SOME BOOTY WHILE THERE.\n\nGOOD LUCK WITH IT

Why not? If its a great date, then you scored.\n\nIf its a so-so date, at least you got out of the house.\n\nAnd if its horrible, then you will have a funny story to tell later on!

I agree, for a guy, probably not that important. It can send a message though-- after all, if you dressin an outlandish way, or totally slob-like, then obviously you may be showing disinterest, or may draw attention to your clothes specifically, when the date should be about getting to know each other more (hopefully). Of course, if that's your style, then I say go for it, and see if the guy digs it.

Are you looking for a date or just showing off your spelling skills?

Haha!  It's good to be back - computer was down for a few days.  Well.. I'm not a guy, (obviously), but unless things go REALLY well on a date it's a turn-off when the guy is all over you.  You've got to conquer the gettin-to-know-you before you jump on that.  So if it's a REALLY good date then you did get to know each other and it's okay to fall into that animal instinct.  If you're like 99% of the guys out there then maybe it is a good idea to relieve your stress before the date.  You may not get the urge to, er, be selfish on the date, and that will tell the girl that you respect her.  Also - it might give that first impression that you're a laid back bad-a*s type that most of the ladies can't resist.  So yeah - I think it is a good idea!  HA!

No way. Why go to the whole guacamole if I am not interested in the first place. I'd just be wasting my time and that of the person I will be dating. :)

It depends on the length of the relationship, if its a first date then they might decide to go dutch, if its a longer relationship then they pay according to their agreement, they might pool their money. If they are living together then it's just like any couple .  Things like that come natural as you grow together. The rules aren't different in a gay/lesbian relationship.  Paying becomes part of you as a couple. No need to decide who will pay .  I have found that being comfortable with someone requires no monetary agreement on a date.

I don't know your culture - here this would happen at the first date without any meaning at all.\n\nGreetings from Switzerland

Yes, you unwittingly broke a rule.  You just shouldn't comment on your date's choice, except to say, "that sounds delicious" or "great choice."  Your comment could be misconstrued as a criticism of her eating/health habits.  It's like saying, "I would eat that, but fried food is bad/fattening/disgusting and grilled food is far superior."  Thus, it's a little rejection of your date.

Did your mother tell you to date around?

When a person invites another person out, that person is the host, and pays for the entertainment that they've chosen.\n\nPresumably the person who wants to get to know another person, in the hopes that something deep will develop, would want to impress that person -- not necessarily by spending huge bucks, but by fulfilling their obligation as host by not presenting the other with a bill for entertainment that they chose.\n\nThere's probably a way to get another to agree to a "dutch treat" date-like arrangement -- it would be in the wording, sorry I can't be more specific.\n\nOr you can do cheaper things in the first few dates, if you really hate spending the  money on unknown girls.
