[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do feel the boy should pay for dates.  But as teens, I would not expect nor encourage (by us paying for) expensive gifts and dinners.  I would encourage him to work for spending money, and/or do free cheap dates and make inexpensive gifts for each other.  [/quote]

Why should boys pay?   Each pay their own except a special occasion.  Parents, pay, not teens.  My kid is saving his money for retirement and college.  I’m not paying for your kid every meal.  If they are with us, we’d pay but them hanging out or a date, no. [/quote]

Sorry, I firmly believe the man should be responsible for planning and paying for dates.  If it’s a teen/young adult we are talking about then they plan and come up with creative and low cost/free dates  or make a budget and spend what they can afford to spend on a girlfriend after meeting their other financial goals.  You don’t date with your parents’ money. If they can’t do that, then they aren’t mature enough for a girlfriend.  [/quote]

That’s absurd.  No wonder boys like mine refuse to date some girls.  [/quote]

I've taught my sons to avoid these kinds of girls.  [/quote]
