Who should pay on a date?

Who do you expect to pay when you’re on a date?

When someone pays for me, especially on a first date, I feel inordinately obligated to tag along for another, subsequent date. If I come to realise on that date that there is little to no sexual or romantic chemistry, that can create quite the quandary.

I’d prefer to avoid that pressure and simply split it down the middle.

You only checked so you’d know whether you’d need to bring cash in your wallet, or just protection.


If you go out expecting to pay and you end up paying with no resistance from your date, they’re a leech and that’s the end of them.

But…

If you get to that stupid moment where you’re fighting over the card machine or pushing cash back and forth, that inevitably includes some finger games on the table that causes some mock awkwardness so you move on to….

Getting that eye contact moment where nobody else in the world exists other than the two of you and you know you’ve just met your soulmate

Or not, and you find they have a lazy eye, need to improve their skincare and you breathe a sigh of relief that you never had to find out what other skin conditions they might have.

Oh no, you’re paying for me. End of. It would be rude of me to “offer” to pay with no intention of doing so. And what if you say yes? Then I’m fucked and I really don’t want to climb out a bathroom window
 
Honestly i think its fair you go half and half i mean you went on the date so why not pay for your food and drink too its 2022 women shouldnt expect men to pay and vice versa but thats my opinion, like fair enough if he/she offers fair enough let them do it but i just think it should be 50/50
