Is it right for men to always pay on first dates?

Well it isn't wrong, if that's what you are asking. It's up to the couple. Preconceived expectations are a hindrance.

I think its nice for a guy to pay on a first date, but not necessarily right or wrong.

What if the date is between 2 women?

? right? wrong? i think it is just a question of courtesy that it should be split unless one of you makes a gesture to pay because they want to.

It's right for whoever can afford it and wants to pay to pay.

Yes he should pay or we split it up

Date between 2 women ok? The woman who is taking you out she pays? It works with me and another woman she is
willing to pay for both of us

Yes, because I am a woman.


My real answer is whomever asks whom out pays.

No. Bit it is nice.

Traditionally, it's always nice when man picks up the bill. Especiallly if he was the one to ask the girl out.

I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to these things, but I've ended up covering the bill many times.

Expensive or not isn't the issue, but I can imagine situations where it would be more appropriate for the woman to pay or for them to split the costs. Of course if the date is two women, then it would be downright bizarre for some man to pay.

No - there's no reason for it. And it makes me wonder what they might really think they are paying for

OTHER: It depends on the situation.

I think who should pay is something that can be mentioned before the date, to ensure everybody has the proper expectations. Typically, I think the person who invites should suggest a payment method in passing ("my treat!" or what have you).

Back decades ago, when women acted like ladies, yes... These days, NO!!

I would think twice about going out with a man who didn't!

I think that's dumb.

Is it right for women to expect it for a man to prove something to her ???

Yes. If a man can't pay for an expensive meal, or show, he can plan for a moderate one. The man is to take care of the woman. BUT, a woman should NOT expect the world, and be greedy. To me, it should just be a pleasure to be in the company of someone I like.

I think whoever asks whoever out should be responsible for paying for it.

The one who does the asking out should be obligated to pay.

If it's for a coffee or something, I'd accept that. Anything more expensive, I would always pay half. I don't think it's fair to expect the guy to pay.
