[quote=Anonymous]Geez. I have never offered to split a date and I never will.  Never had anyone suggest it. I grew up with a cheap father who, despite having been sent to boarding schools growing up and being very wealthy, would bitch and moan over every tiny expense he had to pay. I definitely dont want a man like that so seeing how they react to getting the check is a good indicator.

I should revise: in college I paid for some of my boyfriend's expenses.  he drove a range rover and would sometimes try but I would often swat his hand away under the guise of being a "cool, independent woman."  Yeah, that worked out awesome.  Totally emasculated him and messed up the power balance of our relationship.  only later did I realize how much it really bothered him, despite him telling me how much he hated it at the time.  That's what taught me the lesson: always let the dude pay.  If he is any kind of stand up guy with his life together he will WANT to.  Anyone who doesnt want to is not worth hanging around.  And forcing your own payment will mess up the, "me-man, you-woman," hot primal dynamic guys like so very much.[/quote]
