Do you think a man should always pay for dates?

[mommydiva]

Nope. I think it should go off of who asked as well going dutch at times. As well as if its a date date or something like hey lets hang out and we stop somewhere type date.

I think it depends, in the early stages, like when you are just dating i think he should pay, maybe im old fashioned. But once you are in a relationship then I think the girl should pay sometimes

Yea, but I'm old fashioned. I also think a majority of men prefer it bc it makes them feel manly.

I think a man should pay. Once you have been together a long time, I think its okay for a woman to pay but in the beginning, he has to pay or he is a deadbeat to me.

This is what came to my mind when I read this.

Ditto this!

I don't think he should...but it's always nice and makes the guy look a little more gentleman like

Yes he should pay, Always for food. but then if we go to a movie or something I would pay after we been seeing each other awhile.

I do think it's the gentlemen-ly thing to do to pay for dinner on the first couple of dates, or at the very least the man needs to strongly offer to pay. After that though, I think each person paying separate is okay. It really depends on the couple and the situation. Whatever people want to do is okay. Now that I think about it I do remember pulling out my wallet on dates, pretending like I was going to cough it up even though I knew whatever guy I was with was going to say "oh no, I got this", lol. I do think it's polite for the girl to offer, even if they have no intention of paying. That way you don't come off as spoiled.
