Moderator AndreaMT Posted March 31 Moderator #1 Posted March 31 💸 WHO SHOULD PAY ON A FIRST DATE? 💸 I recently got into a discussion with my friends about who should pay on a first date. My opinion is that a man should always pay on a first date. Some believe the man should always pay, while others think it’s fairer to split the bill... Some feel it depends on the situation or who invited whom. 🤔 What do you think: who should pay on a first date? Man, or maybe even a woman?? Or should they split the bill?😅 Aerena09, MilicaRa, shahzaib and 2 others 2 2 1
Rasckal Posted March 31 #2 Posted March 31 I may be old school but I agree with you 100% Aerena09, AndreaMT and AK2128 2 1
smasher116 Posted March 31 #3 Posted March 31 nah we always should pay first and every date , a woman needs a man to take care of her and support her not to come and spend her moneyy Aerena09, AndreaMT, Zamia2001 and 1 other 1 1 2
Moderator Faris Posted March 31 Moderator #4 Posted March 31 A woman should foot the bill on the first date. We men are sensitive, lovely and tender creatures, so we need attention, and women should always take care of men. @NemanjaPi Lepa ❤️ Saini234, Aerena09, MilicaRa and 3 others 1 1 1 1 1 1
bharath621 Posted March 31 #5 Posted March 31 I'll definitely pay for my first date, if I get chance 🥹😂 Aerena09 1

Traditionally, many people believe that the man should pay, but modern perspectives focus more on equality and mutual respect. I believe it depends on the situation — for example, if one person invites the other, they can offer to pay. However, splitting the bill is also a fair and respectful option, as it shows independence from both sides. At the end of the day, what matters most is comfort, understanding, and clear communication between both الأشخاص.
lucaslauf Posted March 31 #7 Posted March 31 It thinks this is better to do fifty fifty. At the first date, we dont know each other and if it will work. So if i'm a men and i make like 2 dates in a week with a girl, i'm gonna be broke soon. I can pay but only if I think it will work with the girl i am with
Hallplay Posted March 31 #8 Posted March 31 Depends I think both most the time unless you invite them and order lots but they should always offer
Moderator StefanTl Posted March 31 Moderator #9 Posted March 31 I’m more of a traditional type, so I think the guy should pay on the first date. It’s just a nice gesture. I know a lot of people still see it that way, too. But at the same time, it’s really about the situation and what both people are comfortable with some prefer splitting, and that’s fine too. There’s no strict rule anymore. I feel like people sometimes overthink this part too much instead of just enjoying the date and getting to know each other. AK2128, spaceoddtiddy and Faris 1 1 1
AlienBeaverH Posted March 31 #10 Posted March 31 I miss the days of courting and chivalry.. the man should pay, he should open doors for you, etc. And on a first date, I would bring flowers, chocolates or something personal to give to you. I think it is a show of respect, gratitude and that his intentions come from a good place. IMHO.

[After $59.95 bill comes] "Cindy, your portion is $29.98 before taxes & tip." "You invited me." "No, I invited you to get to know me. When it comes money, I want to be fair & respectful & have you show your independence." Rock on! Edited April 1 by SK987654

Aerena09 Posted April 1 #20 Posted April 1 Date is inversely proportional to money on Men.🎗️ Case closed. 🔒
Community Manager MarkoCo Posted April 2 Community Manager #21 Posted April 2 As a bit of a traditionalist, I’d say the man should pay. It’s just how my internal “old-school settings” are configured. Of course, as long as it doesn’t upset anyone involved. AndreaMT 1
lasiempreverde Posted April 2 #22 Posted April 2 It’s so obvious… play $80 in original blackjack. You’ll always win the first game. With that money, pay the bill… and @eddie will be the one paying for the date ♡
chaposlim187 Posted April 2 #23 Posted April 2 Whether the date was good or not it's the man's job to pay on the first date. Women have enough things to pay for already, it's the least a man can do spaceoddtiddy and AndreaMT 1 1
Surtuk Posted April 2 #24 Posted April 2 With baddies you pay for everything anyway dates not a big deal
spaceoddtiddy Posted April 2 #25 Posted April 2 Chivalry shouldn’t be dead, but as a woman, I’ll always offer to pay, and anyone who splits on the first date is not a romantic. Dates should be about romance, not bills. That being said, there should be a mutual understanding in what is affordable to both. zhestka 1
