[quote=Anonymous]I tend to agree that at a first meeting, you should just meet for coffee or drinks.  Each should pay their own, but the cost is so low that it doesn't hurt to pay for both.

On a first dinner date, I tend to believe that the asker should offer to pay for the whole check.  Whether you are a man or a woman, if someone offers to pick up the check -- you should offer to pay your portion (or half, if it is really close).  In my experience, most men decline for me to pay my portion.

After the first date, I will always offer to pick up the check at least every other date.  Usually men are comfortable with switching back and forth after a few dates.  If the guy is a big income earner or very traditional, they will typically insist on paying each time (that is not necessary at all, but if they are inclined to do so, I let them).

I don't think anyone is obligated to pay for another person --ever.  If you ask someone out on a first date and you want to go dutch, I think it's best to make that clear before anyone orders.
