Most of my dates were that way.
-
I've never gone dutch, but there have been times when the lady insisted on payinig her way.
-
Who ever asks should pay. Doesn't matter male or female.:)
-
If it was planned ahead of time not so much, but if he picked me up then sprung it on me then... ya
-
I always want to be treated special. I would hope he would wait until the relationship grew a little, then I'd be happy to go dutch more often.
-
It is not something I have ever done but then I have not dated except my husband. I would not be insulted if it was arranged ahead of time. In fact I think at the moment if I even thought of spending time with anyone I would want to pay my own way.
-
Yea, I would up and leave. That is if he asked me out. I have done the asking before and was prepared to pay, but when I get asked, I expect them to pay.
-
if i dont have the money to pay for the entire date, including coffee afterwards i dont ask her out. i recently went on a date with a girl where i paid for the restaurant and we went clubbing afterwards, she only bought 2 drinks the whole night.
-
i am a student my boyfriend has a good job so he always used to pay. but now he has lost his job i would def pay my half. altho i did and do always buy the sweeties at the cinema and he pays us in.
-
Neither my wife nor I were ever into Dutch food so that's not even an issue. :p Actually I think I've always paid except for the rare occasion when I didn't have change for a tip.
-
I would personally NOT ask a lady to go DUTCH .... BUT; in these trying economic times ; I can understand a guy suggesting it to a lady.
-
i would NEVER NOT go dutch, i dont expect anyone to pay for the pleasure of sitting across from me :)
-
It wouldn't bother me at all to go dutch. Have done it several times.
-
No I wouldn't ask her to pay. If she insisted I would respect her wish and it wouldn't bother me. Advice to the ladies: If a guy asks for dutch don't make any judgments until you know why. He is either: a. a cheap bastard b. hiding the fact that he's rich c. all about equality d. swallowing his pride and trying to pool resources to give you a better date
-
Depends on when he asked. I would not be offended at all before hand, but if he expected it as the check was being brought to the table and the meal was finished.... Yeah. No sex for you!
-
id prefer it - that way i wouldnt feel obligated in any way
-
I'd actually be more comfortable paying my own way. Then after we knew each other he can treat me and I can treat him.
-
I would deal with it for that date, but there wouldn't be a 2nd one. On the other hand, in a long term relationship, "going dutch" is certainly acceptable.
-
Oh it's just not right to do the dutch oven on the first date.
