If a guy pays???

Some girls just aren't used to it.

My prom date insisted on paying for some of that special night's expenses. It felt weird having expected to spend a lot and having about $40 of that burden taken off my shoulders (I paid for everything else, I don't live with mommy and daddy)

I never looked at it as an expectation of reciprocity, I always thought it was "just tradition". But of course, all illogical tradition originates from something that makes a little bit of sense...

It's probably important to note that women have been steadily pushing for equality among the genders, and that would include a yearning for equal financial responsibility in the dating arena.

This probably doesn't answer your question, but that's just my two cents.

I think all of you are crazy, there's no reason that the guy should pay all of the time. For me, If I invite someone out, then I'll pay, and if a woman asked me out, she should pay. If I paid for a date, I would expect her to invite me out the next time and treat me. In a relationship, we would take turns. That's called reciprocity, and guys should start demanding this.

Chivalry, the tradition that guys should always pay and treat women was killed by feminism. Today, women and men are equal, and women should pay their share all of the time. Women cannot expect to be equal in the workplace and in public society, and then expect be put on a pedestal in their private life. Many women proclain that they are independent and self sufficient, yet many of these same women expect guys they date to pay for everything just because they are men. Chivalry is benevolent sexism and should be discouraged. Guys that feel that they have to pay for everything are not gentlemen, they are insecure and think that they need to secure their manhood or assert their dominance by picking up the bill. That's unhealthy.

I don't think that. I think the man is supposed to pay until there is an established "committed relationship". If you are just dating - hence seeing other people and not committed to each other - then the man should pay. But once you move past that into relationship, it doesn't matter who pays. I actually enjoy taking my fiance out sometimes and paying - it used to be a fight to get him to let me pay, but now he doesn't seem to mind when I do! LOL. Anyway, that's my two cents.

depends on the price if it is over $70, then he should get a little action otherwise you should pay for it cuz i'm sure he would just as easily gone to Carl's JR.

No, if a guy pays, I eat, drink and forget! Why should I doubt anyone's intentions and waste time worrying!

to me if a guy pays they are interested. it doesn't mean they want something it just means hello your hot!!! hahaha

but what is disgusting is the fact that most guys use that line as a pick up line and that is probably why girls are suspicious.

I pay all the time and women dont think anything about it

Guys should always pay! No matter what. It dosen't mean you want something it just means you are being polite
