I am old fashioned too. I would prefer to pay.

Depends on the dynamics of the couple. Regardless of who approached whom, a sense of who "wears the pants" will be found before a pair decides to meet up before the first date.

anirobbie, that was a VERY cute answer, lol!! So happy to see you back here! We missed you!!

Shyone, that makes no sense at all. How would you possibly know "who wears the pants" BEFORE the very first date?!

However that reminds me of something my ex bf once said to me. He told me that he is the one wears the pants in our relationship. I said of course you do baby, but *I* am the one that tells you when to take them off!!

A guy can wear the pants while I make the decisions - ha!

I would hope what I said wasn't totally senseless. All I meant to say was that through initial contact a couple will gain a sense of who is the more dominant personality of the two. Courtship is worth something, and it begins before the first date so far as I am concerned.

I'm glad to meet a bunch of women who are unafraid to take charge. Welcome and refreshing from what I have run into.

Hahahahaha I always joked that I wore the pants, she (my ex) would tell me what pair to wear. Was my way to trying to say we were equals, our strengths as individuals were good making us as a couple better. Well in theory.

So, guys, it's the first date and you are the one that asked the woman out. Do you expect to pay for the date or do you expect her to pay half? I'm a little old-fashioned when it comes to that and I prefer the guy to pay. Not because I am too cheap. Because it makes me feel more like a lady. The same way that having the door opened for me makes me feel. But I HAVE paid for half before, when I know the guy doesn't have much money and I have no problem doing that. The guys I date are all either college students or not very established in their jobs yet so I do understand the financial concerns.

The reason I bring this up is because I recently found out that a cub I went out with called me "cheap" because he had to pay for our dinner. He asked me out and he told me to pick the place. I said do you want casual or nice? He said something comfortable but nice. I picked a place and sent him a link to the restaurants site so he could check it out. He booked the reservation. And now a 1 1/2 months later, apparently is still complaining to his roommate about it. I might add we only ended up having one more date after that. He had a LOT of issues, lol!

Anyway, what do you cubs think? Who should pay?

lol i say split the bill? unless you're trying to show off or something...
