[quote=Anonymous]I’m a woman and always offer to pay on the first date, and if they say no, I ask if I can leave the tip at least and they usually decline that too. I have had some take me up on either offer, and that’s fine too, it’s not a game I play to see if they’ll accept my offer to pay at face value or not. I tend to date guys who make more money than me, and they seem to want to pay for most dates. I try to contribute by cooking meals, buying tickets for special events, etc. Travel is almost always 50/50 on the accommodations, but they tend to pick up the tab for the meals. I think it’s a good sign that they recognize the income discrepancy and try to be equitable, not equal. I’m 46 fwiw, and have been dating post divorce for 15 years, with a few relationships spanning years. But I’ve gone on tons of first, second and third dates. All of that to say that I think it’s a case by case basis. That’s what has worked for me. [/quote]
