[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are these guys harping on here? I’m a man and I pay. I will always feed you. I don’t care if it is the first date or the last one. I have no problem picking up the check. I don’t care who you are. I have a job and don’t go around penny pinching my dates. If you’re going to worry about this then stay home. Get out of the dating pool until you grow up. This isn’t high school. [/quote]

THANK YOU.[/quote]

Would someone like this be offended if the woman offered or even requested to pay half? Now that I'm older and I don't know the background of the people like I did with my high school or college boyfriend I feel like I'd rather just pay for half and not have to deal with any type of bad vibes from a man after a date if it didn't go well.[/quote]

I'm not a feminist or anything btw. I'd be fine with a person picking up the tab if we were exclusive. I just don't really like the idea of casual dating and men feeling used. I want to be able to meet up with someone and be able to leave no hurt feelings after.[/quote]

I agree. I am extremely picky, I'm a good looking well off woman. I am very happy single and in no rush, but dating can be a fun distraction. I rarely go on second dates as I have to be pretty impressed to want to go out again. Knowing that about me, I always split. That way I dont see them again but dont feel badly, either. The only times I let a guy pay are if I'm planning on another date, then I get to plan (and pay for) the next one, which I like as I am creative. [/quote]

I'm the PP and actually haven't started dating yet but we seem to think alike. How do you end all of these first dates on friendly terms other than paying half?[/quote]

I either say it when we are leaving if hes trying to plan another date (I had a great time but I dont think that this is what I am looking for romantically at this time". Otherwise I just text when I get home, "Hey, had a great time, thanks for meeting up tonight. I dont see us having a romantic future, but I wish you all the best out there, I hope you find your person soon".

I have made several really good friends this way, and have not had any upsetting/bad experiences from being forthright. [/quote]
