      • Don't tell me you finished that bag of crickets already?

        *sigh*

        OK I'm off to the cricket store for more. If you're nice maybe I'll get you one of those bell-shaped bird seed things!

          • Oh sure you tell me to stop now, but next time I come flapping up you'll be right there in your nest with your open beak pointed to the sky waiting for a nice worm...

  • No way. It actually annoys me if he tries to insist on it. I earn too, why should he be out of pocket and not me?

    Ugh I got stuck having to have a second date with a guy I didn't particularly like, because the bugger paid behind my back and I couldn't let him get away with it.

    • Why does him paying mean that you have to go on a second date? Is this really why women don't like guys to pay? Because they feel like it obligates them to stick around?

      I always pay most or all of the check on the first date simply because I am the one who invited her out. And besides, that extra $10 for her half is of almost no consequence to me anyway so I might as well.

      • No, because that's how my fucked up sense of 'fairness' works, when in reality, that was most UNFAIR to go out again, if I wasn't all that interested.

        I speak for myself here, no one else. It's not the reason I don't like guys to always pay. This was a once off.

    • Once a guy insisted on buying me beers in a club. I said, "Actually I'm with two friends and I was going to buy them drinks too." He answered, "No problem, I'll pay for three." Later he came and asked me to dance to which I replied, "Do you really think that you can buy me a dance with three beers???"

      This is not cool but I'm that way.

      • Hello , well thats diff ur saying that a random guy bought 3 beers to make you dance with him , well ofc you cant accept by buying you 3 beers but u shudnt let him buy ur beer and ur friends one for nthg , he bought it to try to get close to you and u rejected it so u shuld have rejected the beers too

    • Well first the guy always should offer to pay on a date , second it depends on the girl i guess , like if she wants him to pay or not if she do want him to pay , she will just let him but if she doesnt she might pay for her self
      Thanks for ur help :)

      • But why 'should' he? Why is he obligated? Other than what I guess you could call tradition. Why are both parties not obligated? If he should offer, so should I. I wouldn't mind him paying as long as it's understood I'll foot the next bill. Though I think that until it's an official relationship, paying for yourself is the best option.

  • I am a girl and I don't think that guys should pay for all the dates. I believe that us girls should also pay for some of the dates. That way you don't feel guilty after breaking up with them.

  • I think the guy should pay for the first date, becuz guy ask me out and dont pay for it... I dont think he is a "guy"...

    the second date I may say i can pay for it, if the guy pay still, its also okay for me..

    but third time....we will discuss on this...

  • Yes, or I feel ripped off. Girls should be won. All of the guys I know pay for dates, even outings with female friends.Its nice when guys say' i want to take you out, buy you drinks' blah blah blah. its so nice to feel taken care of. but i believe I'm worth it, I'm pretty, feminine, and I try to make a guy feel good on a date with me. Seriously, patriarchy is still alive and well. And usually guys approach and pursue a girl. guys like independent girls, but only girls with their own mind, like the guy is not all she has, she has her opinion and shit, not a girl who does not let the guy make any effort !! guys wont cherish a girl if shes 'won' without much effort

  • I'm a 50/50 kind of girl. I prefer paying our own way. Or if he pays for me this time, I'll get the bill next time.

    • Hellp , ummmm i dont think that will work because most of the times guys should invite girls for a date , i never saw a girl inviting a guy for a date , but girls can make a condition abut the date and tell him you let me pay for myself and we go , he might reject it first time and would insist on payin but after he will go on with the condition

      • I don't really care. If I ask someone on a date, I'd expect to be paying and if a guy asked me, he had better pay or else that would be the last time I went out with him. Period. The frequency of girls asking guys makes NO difference in my answer. That's a totally separate issue.

  • I've voted yes. I don't like spending my money. Once I even broke with a guy because he had too many financial problem and couldn't invite me anywhere.

    • I dont know how ur thinking but boyfriends arent credit cards , a boyfriend is a guy that you love him because he means to u a lot not because he have money , once you get in a relationship with a boyfriend you shudve have know how he is and what is his job and his salery if u just care about if he invites you many time
      for a date because not all guys can afford paying always on a date which should happean many times

          • To re-answer your question it's yes, I expect a guy to pay for dates. Now I live with my boyfriend and we share bills equally. But before we started living together I let him pay. That's how I am.
