I agree with you. If I dated you, I would abolish sex.

Has anyone seen my wallet????

When I'm with a lady, I pay for everything, that's just me though.

I usually pay for everything and just hope to get lucky. If the relationship goes on then I will still pay unless she insists she wants to pay for some reason.

This is the type of man we have to deal with lol and they wonder why they are single.................i think Feminist have a hand on why men are somewhat confused..............in no shape or form am I going to think that i should pay for anything...........you ask me out you pay.........now if I offer its up to you to take or dont...........but really where are all the GOOD MEN at who dont biotch and complain about spending money on a lady................but im sure when it comes to getting some you wont even hesitate to shell out the money...........wtf

I just pay becuase I think that's what the man should do, I don't expect anything in return.

And your right to do so...............

Really it's a simple answer:

If you are concerned with money while in the dating stages of a relationship to the degree of who is picking up a 50 dollar dinner bill or a 10 dollar movie ticket.. get out. The level of interest isn't there. You will find when you are with the "right" person, little things like that don't matter.

As far as how i currently date, i always pay for the first date. Based on interest level if i ask her out again, i again pay.. if she asks me out, she usually pays. Maybe i'm different but someone with a little independence is sexy to me. I don't want or need a puppy as a mate.

As far as past long term relationships, you will find things tend to even out in different ways.

Oh and for the women that say they should NEVER PAY ...

<----------1952 that way.

Hello welcome to 2009, hope you enjoy the stay.

I've popped for everything most of the time for freinds and family and dates. What I do not appreciate are evil rotten women playas. I've had a few who have pulled some really shady sh!t. One crunt in paticular has self invited herself (crashed parties, events, dinners) and ordered large exquisite dinners, many drinks, and a lot of other things and EVERYTIME its "Oh I've misplaced my wallet", or "I can't seem to find my debit card", or "I don't know where my money went", and the ever lovin "Oh, I will pay you back". And I don't tolerate a playa after the fact. And I don't pay for playas ways. Gamers can eat my guano.

You say its 1952 but let me tell you a lot of women think the way I have expressed above.............I am independent but when it comes to courting someone I think that it starts with the man.........I dont have anything against paying but the man has the burden........and I dont care if im in 2067 I will not open my pockets when a man asks me out period.............Now if he is my man best believe when I have it he has it and vise versa...........but for a guy looking to get to know me...............lol YOUR PAYING

So then the question becomes, if you ask him out? Or is that taboo to you also?

And that should answer your question, OP.

Why on earth are you single??? This was a great point!

Consider what the dating is about.
Man: I am determined to find my life partner, and that means the woman who I promise all my life and everything to love, cherish, honor, protect, guide, etc...including any and all chances that we will have children together, and our mutual lives will be bound together forever via those children and our love which should outlive death and reincarnation.
Women:...................(Just ask them what it is all about, from their perspective.)

Conclusion: Is there really any reason that your search for a lifelong mate includes a question about whether she will pay a few $$ in getting to know you?

Try the question from her angle: If I get serious with this guy, and I have a baby...and it could happen on any given date...should I have paid for "my share" of this?

Good luck. I'm old and out of touch with today's ways, I think.
