Who Pays for the Date?

Ganda
By Ganda

You're on a dinner date with a woman. The check arrives. Who pays?

Do you (the man) always pay?
Do you split it?
Does the person who initiated the date pay?
Does it depend on how long you've been dating?
Does it depend on how well the date has gone?
Does it depend on other factors?
Does it really matter?

Depending on the following factors, it will decided who pays the bill.

If she is a student or unemployed the bill is on me.

If the conversation was a good one, the bill is on me.

If she was dull talker or she spent more time answering her cell phone, or fixing her makeup, or talking about her past boyfriend, then I will pay for my consumption and the rest of the bill is hers.

My check please!

following the 3 dates, there will be one of two possibilities:

Either they get married and the guy keeps paying and will discover that it was better to restrict himself to dating,

OR there will be no more dates.

Problem is. Guys as well as gals tend to multi-date and it is difficult to keep track of the date counts with each of his/her buddies;)

not so easy, it all depends, most of the time it should be the guy. But sometimes the girl insists on paying, so be it.

when you're committed to someone... money eventually becomes a conjugal property. so if you and your wife/gf decides to go out... you both decide who pays...

but it is still up to the person... whichever they believe in.

I agree with Icelee, the guy should pay first few times, then just take it as it comes :)

comes from the guy ... so he is the on who is supposed to pay ... some of them got a bad weird habit of inviting the others and then ... I have no money, I forgot my money, or can you pay for me this time?

If it would be just a friendly invitation like let's have dinner, it would be my treat then the one who initiate the invitation had to pay ...

If both of them were just bored and ... what shall we do? Let's have dinner then everyone if both agreed on the idea should pay for him/herself ...

If they are a husband/wife, a bf/gf then the guy should pay ... can't imagine a guy asking his wife or gf to pay for the food or for what is he eating ...

i think it's just proper that a man should pay for their first 3 dates... then when they're really getting to know each other and at ease... the girl should at least offer her contribution.

But if the guy insist... then so be it!!! :)
