[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a year older than you so I think I can add some generational perspective here. [b]He's cheap for accepting your offer to pay - most men who are gentlemen would turn you down[/b] - but you are making it needlessly awkward. Venmo? It needs to be a little smoother than that. Let him pay for dinner and then you suggest a round of drinks somewhere that you can pay for.

However, I did pay for a fourth date recently and that was because he had to step outside for a work call and I thought it was tacky to just sit there with the bill in the middle of the table until he was done. And when he came back in and realized I had already paid he was mortified. [/quote]

Why offer to pay at all?[/quote]
I mean, you're preaching to the choir. I don't offer to pay. But I also think a lot of women do and men who accept their offers to do so aren't gentlemen. I only pay in extenuating circumstances like the one I mentioned where the guy had to step out to take a work call, OR if it's like his birthday or he just got a promotion or something. But the latter is more in relationships, not dating. I would be so grossed out if a guy I wasn't exclusive with expected me to pay.[/quote]
