pay half and half when you go out with your gf ??

[Rutherford The Brave]

I think you should always pay all of it. I mean always but if money is a pinch I think one time will not matter. But I doubt for you its that much of a pinch so pay all of it.

I disagree with Greg. A relationship should be even. I think it's completely unfair for the guy to pay for the girl every time and it would also be unfair for the girl to pay every time. I think it's sad that guys are generally EXPECTED to pay.

I don't think the guy should have to pay all the time. Me personally would feel bad if my bf did. I think half and half is pretty fair. Sure occasionally the guy picking up the whole bill would be nice...but not all the time.

Paying half and half is perfectly fine. The guy should only pay for the girl if he has the means to do so and if he wants to.

I think girls should always bring enough money to cover themselves, and intend to pay their own way on a date. If the guy offers to pay for her, she should casually make it known that she has the money to pay for herself. "That's really nice of you, but I can cover it," or something. That's to be sure that he knows she isn't expecting him to always pay for her. If he still offers, it's fine for her to let him pay. He shouldn't feel obligated to pay if he doesn't want to.

True love is not giving a shit about who pays for dinner.

Going 50/50 on a date is perfectly fine. However, if you have a sufficient amount of money with you, you should always pay in full. Personally, I think it's ok in some cases, but I think it's being more of a gentleman to pay in full.

[Disconected]

if the guy is asking the girl on the date then the guy should pay but otherwise its ok go split. its common curtesy for the guy to pay most of the time, but a guy should never ask for the girl to pay, he needs to imply tht he can only cover himself

This.

[KenFisher]

Basically, what's need to be said is said. But still, I think the guy should pay occasionally, especially first date, or anything important like such. Otherwise, it's a matter of communication and mutual agreement really.

Splitting the bill on a date is the politically correct thing to do. I didn't even know there was debate about this - I assumed everyone knew that paying 50/50 was the proper thing to do. It would be ridiculous to expect anyone, whether they be male or female to cover the tab constantly. However, if either person feels obligated to pay for the whole bill (which makes sense on special ocassions like anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, etc,) the responsibility should lie in whoever invited the other person. For example If I invite a girl to dinner, I would pay the bill. If SHE invites me to dinner, SHE would pay the bill. However, like I just said, it would be illogical and a waste of money for someone to pay the bill every time they see eachother. Splitting the bill is the proper thing to do.
