Whats your personal agenda when it comes to chivalry and relations between men and women For example, do you believe that its right to split costs on a date, or should the woman pay, or the man? Its just last night (New Years) I went out , and I was talking to this guy, I said "What are you drinking" and he said 'oh just pale' and I said "okay" he then said "What? Don't tell me your buying me a drink" to which I replied "Why the hell not?" I thought that was okay, but it it not the done thing for a chick to buy a guy a drink?
well I think that it's perfectly normal for a female to buy a male a drink or to pay for the dinner or whatever. I know that there are some men that are intmidated by women who are "liberal", straight forward. I am "liberal" or very forward I mean I was on a date with one of my boyfriends and at the end of the meal i paid for the meal and all my boyfriend was so embarassed and upset. I just looked at him and laughed. He eventually got over it.
i think its fine as long as the guy pitches in on other dates or outings and what not. i've had dinner paid for by a female and i wasn't embarassed, i was happy that i didn't have to pay. but then i know i paid for other things in that relationship...it goes both ways...i'm not going to insist on her paying, but if she wants to pay, i'll let her...
i get many second dates... god damn right... bitch is lucky to be in aquantance with me, let alone be allowed to get naked w/ me.
well, I'm a lil more traditional... I still feel like the guy should pay most of the time (it's fine to split dates/costs as well, just give a gal forewarning! One guy told me while we were in line to get tickets if we could go dutch, I had to scrape out pennies to pay, and he went and bought himself popcorn and pop afterwards! Yeesh!). But buying a guy a drink should be no big deal. Hell, it should make the guy happy I figure, because the girl isn't expecting him to pay for every little thing in whatever relationship may follow!
^^^^ditto Its probably just the cheap ass coming out in me, but I like it when a girl pays. hosnestly, I think the dating costs should be spread pretty equal. in college, we're both broke, so why should I have to foot the bill. In past relationships, we'd usually alternate dates or one person would get dinner and the other the play. I don't think things should be tit for tat, but they should be somewhat equal. Peace
I think splitting the cost is fair. I don't mean like bringing a calculator to dinner and finding out the exact amount you've spent, but paying for every other time you're at the dinner or movies or whatever i think is fair.
My boyfriend and I do the same job in the summer. In the fall and winter when we travel we eat at the same places and split the cost of everything. Works just great.
