paying?

[britneya]

This is more of an opinion based question. I dated a guy the other day that only offered to pay for his meal. He is the one who invited me on the date. I don't have a problem paying for anything, but should he have paid for mine?

"YES"

Seems like allot of guys nowa days want to split the bill. My girlfriend had the same thing happen to her the other day. She was sooo mad.

If a guy invites you out, he should pay. If I go on a date, and the chick wants to kick in , I usually say, "Just get the tip if you feel so inclined..." But I typically push back and insist on paying.

But as a rule, I always plan on footing the bill. I also open the car door for her, and make sure to hold the door, letting her go in first. Usually, I put a hand lightly on the small of her back and guide her in to door, as I hold it.

that sounds like the a great way to treat a lady soulsearcher. i do that every chance i get. one girl didnt like me doing it... she said "i can handle it"... kinda weird but oh well.

Soulsearcher does it right.

I do the same thing and I wouldn't even think about letting a lady pay on a date. My current G/f is not use to having someone get the door and although she is getting better at waiting a second I told her this.

I open the door to present you to all the people in the restaurant, showing them all that I have the prettiest one of all. The hand on the back is a comforting gesture that also assures the lady that she is being well treated and showing all the ladies in the restaurant that I am spoken for at the same time.
