[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I strongly believe the man should pay for the first few dates. I always offer to pay half regardless of my expectation, but no one has ever allowed me to do so. After the first few dates, both should be paying. It is kind of ridiculous to always expect the guy to pay for everything, especially if you both are hardworking adults. The men I dated and been in relationships with have always noted they respected me moe for picking up tabs on subsequent dates. [/quote]

You contractor yourself! If men are paying for the first few dates, that can add up quite a bit. If you go out with a lot of different men just 2 or 3 times, you are getting a lot of free meals. Equal pay, equal pay![/quote]

This "free meal" thing is really bizarre.  I don't know anyone who dates specifically for the food.  [/quote]

Ha ha! Before I was married I never went on dates for free food. You did remind me, however, that I once had a 6-month relationship with a guy where we both knew we were incompatible in the long run. Our relationship was pretty much all about him taking me out to expensive, wine-soaked dinners at fancy restaurants, which was something we both really enjoyed. He did get a lot of excellent sex out of the deal so he wasn't complaining. But 6 months is about as long as a relationship based on free meals can last, no matter how good the sex is![/quote]
