It is about the tradition of our society. I suppose you could say that it is programmed into our lives and beliefs, but it is NOT built in. At one point men paid for everything because they were the only ones allowed by society to even have jobs (how would a woman have paid for anything if she didn't have any money?). They did have to prove that they could provide for the woman, but the woman's father also had to pay for the wedding (or even longer ago, offer a dowry) to kind of make up for that. Now, women are able to have jobs and careers. There is still a barrier or a gap, but it is shrinking.
In my opinion, the one who asked for the date should pay (and women shouldn't be afraid to ask), or if the couple has been dating for some time, they should compromise somehow so they can have a mutual agreement as to who should pay and how often. I'll admit that my boyfriend paid for nearly every date our first two years of dating, but the tables have turned and now I have paid for most of our dates for almost two years now.

Because it is a mark of a man to be able to provide for a woman. This shows her during courtship that he is capable and thoughtful of her needs. She will need the man to be a good provider, because at some point, after pregnancy, she will want financial stability to raise a baby. Yes it all stems from that. Basic human programing.

Guys have to show that they will be a good provider for the girl, hence the flash of the cash. it's all about the girl finding out how good a deal she's getting with the guy!

i imagine it truly is mandatory to no longer imagine of him because the guy you want yet in basic terms as yet another guy once you're trying to consult him. it is going to likely be way more suitable reachable to have a communique with him. You both obviously like one yet another so like possibly ask him if he needs to go back over and carry out sometime or bypass to the coastline. straight forward such issues as that receives you more suitable gentle. Then after a short at the same time as possibly he will confess or you are able to ought to step up reason a good number of fellows are to shy. you need to properly be like "am i able to ask you something?" then be like "i love you and that i have for a lengthy time period and that i became questioning in case you want me back." became that of any help to you?

Thats the way it is supposed to be. Guys need to show they can provide, and be giving. Women should never have to pay on a date in my opinion.
