0Alright, this is hardly personal finance-related, but I would like to use this [url=http://jen-taylor.savingadvice.com/]blog[/url] to see if my thought process is relevant.
I've always been hearing from guy friends who complain about taking girls out and being expected to pay for [i]expensive[/i] dinners and drinks. [b]It appears to me that guys should pay for the first date, since he is the one who initiated.[/b] This act of gentleman politeness is definitely appreciated. However, if the girl becomes interested at the end of first date, she could [i]offer[/i] to pay her share to indicate her interest. I've met a guy who insisted on paying for first three dates, then I offered to take turn paying so we don't have to do math lessons all the time.
Of course, when I meet someone interesting, I don't want him to spend all his money on food. After the first date, if there are more dates planned, the going-out could be split. Moreover, nowadays, women are making more money and prefer to pay for their share.
As for expensive dinners and drinks, well, I have low-tolerance and one drink is about it. I consider a good time in a coffee worthwhile for a date also.
Don't be a jerk, if you (male) ask someone out, then bring your wallet. Don't be a freeloader, if you (female) haven't offered to pay by the third date, don't waste his time. asdf123
