Hm. Call me practical, but i don't feel patronized in a bad way.
If the other person pays, all the better, more spending money for me, then again, if _I_ invite people, it's usually home cooking.
So if i'm eating out, it's usually by invitation, and then the other person has a choice of where to go to control costs(i am not impressed by fancy restaurants, only by fancy food.)
Technically, i think i overcame that "reflex" to feel patronized the first times people who were already earning their own money bought me drinks during school/university. Handling "buying dinner" different would feel pretentious.
Do girls want guys to pay for dinner or don't they?
