That's why first dates should be minimal.

Take her for coffee + go for a walk. If you're feeling her by that point and want to go on a second date, drop some money (if you're the one asking). Same thing for a third date. By then you two have spent an adequate amount of time together to know if you want to continue pursuing each other's company, and she should spend money taking you out by that point as well.

I like the 50/50 approach by this point, but I hate the concept of splitting bills. When I say 50/50 I mean taking turns with who is paying: this week me, next week you, etc. That pattern should continue throughout the relationship.

It depends. If ya'll both got money then it's cool. But when a girl paying because the dude is broke, then I find a problem with that. Not so much when the girl is broke cause the man is suppose to be able to handle it. Because I'm somewhat stubborn I wouldn't let a girl pay for it. I like to spoil.

Seen this dude try to pay at the bowling alley. His card got declined. She ended up having to pay. His facial expression was priceless. It was like he knew it was over for the night.

Theres this guy I was feeling. lol. He kept flirting w/ me when he'd see me around. He kept asking when I was gonna take him out with my check (he lives by my job) ..I just laughed until he kept asking then I realized that the nikka was serious. He really thought I was gonna take a grown man on a date and pay for his meal. smh Left him alone real quick.

Women will take you out and spend money on you if they are feeling you. Yall just gotta learn to read women better so not to waste your time and money on a chick that's not really into you. As a man you should always be in control of the relationship. She should be the one pursuing you. If not step your game up. If there is one lesson to know about women is that when they really want a guy they go after him. Save yourself a lot a headache and money brehs.

When I go out with my girlfriend I pay because her funds are extremely limited and I have much more financial flexibility

When I was single I would pay but I would never spend more than $20 on a date with a new girl. Dinners are reserved for my loves ones and worthy chicks that I've already fukked

I believe the initiator of the date should offer to pay. Usually that's going to be the man. Gender doesn't necessarily have to play into it. Relationships are obviously different.

That said, fellas, if the woman insists on paying while out on your first date, she essentially just put a do not enter sign on the p*ssy and you can hang it up.

Tell 'em, mayne.

I didn't wanna be the one to say it, because it seems like i'm always the one sayin' it.
Let 'em be empowered, modern women and alla that thurr.


If you ask, you pay...unless y'all agree to split it.
Frankly, if I was a fe, I would always be down to Netherlands, because dudes are outchea "expectin'" stuff when they pay.


But anyway, lemme do my dance on it.
