Re: who should pay
The guy should. I belong to the old school of thought for most such cases. However, its not wrong if the girl offers to pay few times.
Re: who should pay
guy shud pay
In all the things the guy wants to be the man but when it comes to pay...they want to chicken out & still want to have an upper hand in the relationship!!!
not possible...........
Dont take her to a five star if the pocket doesnt allow....isnt this time to know each other than worry about such things??
Re: who should pay
^agreed!
Re: who should pay
If the dude cannot afford a 5 - star restaurant then he shouldn’t go through lenghts to take her.
If she cannot meet the guy without gifts and 5-star restaurant trips, then yes she’s a golddigger. If you think you deserve it, then work for it yourself, and dont expect some dudes to foot your bill 
Re: who should pay
I always pay. Always have since I was 15.
Re: who should pay
I pay my share, unless its my husband/father/brother. dont ever let anyone pay for me.
Re: who should pay
The One Who invites should pay
LMAO. Now that’s a rather extreme example.
Re: who should pay
the guy,
well if the guy can hold tradionalist thoughts, so can we women, not all of us are bra burning feminists...
Re: who should pay
I think both should pay for themselves. I don't like others pay for me.
the guy,

oh now we are bra burning feminist because we want to pauy for ourselves....awesome!
Re: who should pay
they both should pay for what ever they are ordering. but i know usually guys insist on paying the entire bill and they call it a manly, but same guys if having a lunch with siblings (then they will recall all the expenses and bills they have to pay for this month).

Hahahha!
Why can't each person just pay for themselves?
I am actually looking for answers from those who insist that the guy should pay. I am talking about girls who HAVE the ability to make money and are not completely dependent on others.
I have always paid for myself (ever since I started making money). If someone offers, it is a gift, not an obligation.
I still have to fight (not literally) my brother to get him to not pay for me. He insists on paying for me because I make very little compared to him. BUT I make enough to pay for my expenses.
In a dating situation, in the beginning that man pays. Simply b/c of "manners".....The woman can offer to split the tab or pay, but in my opinion and personal experience, the man should (and does) insist on paying.
Once they've been dating for a while and the relationship is more settled, then the woman can pay at times.
When I 1st started seeing SO, he always paid. These days, I'll offer to pay at times...he'll let me pay sometimes but most of the time, he says "No, don't worry about it."
Even though I work.....my SO makes A LOT more than I do. I'm sure in many cases, that also comes into play as to whether or not a man lets a woman pay...if he knows that she earns a lot less than he does.
So it all boils down to whether or not it's a 1st date....or a "date" with a BF or GF that you've been with for a year.
my friend broke up last week .. i happen to know the girl as well indirectly .. and the girl said that the only reason that she was with my friend was gifts .. my friend used to give her lots of gifts .. which she loved to enjoy .. .. now that made me think that .. is GF is a sophisticated name of prostituion .. ?
There's a difference between a prostitute and a golddigger. Going by the situation your described, your friend's GF would be a golddigger....not a prostitute. Now IF your friend gave her those gifts and expected sexual favors in return b/c of those gifts and got it....then she would be a prostitute.
There are many girls out there who date guys for money or gifts. But that doesn't mean that every single girl is dating her BF for money or gifts.
Its just like men who marry a girl for looks......many men out there marry girls as "trophy wives". But that doesn't mean every single man out there picked his wife only b/c of her looks.
You can't lump all "GFs" into one category.
Re: who should pay
One of the many factors that made me realise Mr Maroush was "the one" was the fact that, on our first meeting, when we went out to eat....he didn't protest when i offered to pay.
I like the old-fashioned ideologies of chivalrous men, which woman doesn't?....but some things i can do for myself.... if they are within my capabilities.
Even in such a scenario the guy should pay, if he KNOWS he is getting laid afterwards. Fair deal.
