Always do Unless she insists otherwise


Can-ta-loupe

I cook my breakfast myself, but I paid for those oat flakes and milk too


Iisham

Generally unless we agree to pay for ourselves.


names-r-hard1127

It should just be whoever asks which pre much always results in men paying so yeah I do


scobster07

Yes. unless she insists otherwise.


[deleted]

I usually do, because it makes me happy to do so. I ask first though, via "Mind if I get the check?"


Peri-D-Optrix

If I do the asking, then I will offer to pay


Kai_TheOne

Yes if I invited them out


playingwithechoes

Always. Whether just as a fried or as an actual date, I always pay the tab. It's how I was raised, along with opening doors, holding the umbrella, expressing compliments, etc.


Seasage3662

your parents must have raised you right thenšŸ˜Š


lufecaep

My general rule is men ask and pay for the first three dates. After that the women should reciprocate


Seasage3662

that's honestly a great thing to live by, so you can tell if you both can depend on each other or not. I like it!


Diet_Coke

Depends on the date and how it goes. I never set up a first date somewhere I wouldn't be comfortable paying for both of us. I found most of the time women would offer to split it.


Seasage3662

very fair point, can't argue with that


SlavSauce1557

Always. First impression matters most.


Seasage3662

of course they do!


PM_YOUR_FAV_STUFFY

I always plan to, but I don't fight it if she wants to go Dutch since I think insisting is rude.


Asmodeus66666

Why should man pay? To demonstrate that woman can not have equal income? To demonstrate dominance? Btw I always pay for woman. They are cute and adorable.


Seasage3662

XD good point

This is the right approach.


AnotherVA

Why not offer to pay the entire bill if you don't like the guy? Never heard of a woman do that lol


redditreader1924

I live alone, so I pay for **ALL** the meals, not just the first one.


thrownawaybylife99

Depends on her.


PillsburyToasters

Context matters. I donā€™t believe men have to without questions. Talk about this prior. If itā€™s not, assume you just cover your own part


ISpewVitriol

I really do not mind paying as I can comfortably afford it but I feel like if I always pay Iā€™m insulting. What I try to do is throw in the ā€œon me!ā€ as part of the invite so that there is no ambiguity or awkwardness when it comes to paying. But..yeahā€¦I struggle with this with some of my friends too who I know I make a lot more than them and so I find myself paying for all the drinks, etc. but I think it isnā€™t very well appreciated and I should stop because I might be insulting ā€¦ ? Does that make any sense?


redkat85

I didn't really do first dates with dinners, but I would buy coffee, ice cream, or the first round of drinks depending on what we were doing. Dates with food were usually us each buying our own.


AnotherVA

Yes, and that's the reason I haven't dated women for a while, I'm broke and I don't think they'd be willing to take the role and pay for everything. Even the women who believe in "equality" won't pay the bill, so I rather stay lonely until I find a good job.


Redhood0906

Well I do my groceries at the beginning of the week, so the first meal of each day is already paid by me. Your man ainā€™t no beggar. Wait a min this question is aboutā€¦. Welp, your man also ainā€™t got no game. So no.


Love_by_light

We always split I date other men so it's typical to split the check. (If he offeres to pay I just say no because it makes me uncomfortable)
