Always make the girl pay.

I never split costs, my rule is that the one that asks for a date pays for it, splitting the bill is a sign that the date failed and you should go your separate ways.

[Beery Swine]

I don't date girls who expect me to foot the bill. We either go Dutch or alternate. Never had the opportunity to date a girl outside of my economic class, tho. If she was rich, I would expect her to foot the bill, unless dinner was at a normal place. Damn, I miss my REAL 3rd wave feminist non-tumblrina ex. She was almost goddamn perfect. fuckmylife Completely off-topic but that's the one thing I would change about my past, is somehow convince her to stay.

I pay. 10cats

[Prifter]

When I invite I always pay everything. All my past dates were successful because of this. I'm also a sexy mother fucker so that help too.

[Crissi]

Take turns. One ngiht I pay, the next night he pays. If the first date didnt go well, we split the bill.

[drwelfare]

Have not been on one in close to 8 years, then I paid.
Only women that talk to me now dont want a date, they ask what you would have paid on a date, and say just give them that

[Splenda]

In my personal opinion, the asker should do the paying, and women should ask more. I also think it's a nice gesture to offer (if you mean it genuinely).

[Celista]

I offer to split the bill, if I really am not interested in seeing the guy again I'll be more insistent on splitting it. If I like him and am pretty sure there will be a second date (my instinct is usually right about these things), I won't fight too hard if he REALLY insists on paying, but the second date *will* be my treat. If a guy asks me to cover his portion of the bill during one of our first few dates, there won't be a follow up date. That is the epitome of tacky. This hasn't happened to me yet, though--most of the guys I've gone out on dates with have been complete gentlemen.

Dates, I usually pay. Date nights with girlfriend, each pay for different stuff until it comes more or less even.

[Friendlyimmolation]

I pay,and in the rare case I get asked out I still pay because I'm a chump.

Depends on the situation.

If its a new relationship, generally the inviter pays. As a rule of thumb.

In a longer relationship it depends, I'd usually say alternate but I've had relationships where there has been a significant difference in incomes, so I've usually footed the bill and am happy to do so, and my partner at the time has occasionally paid when they can, or if we go somewhere a bit cheaper than usual as its not really fair to ask someone to pay at a place thats outside their individual price bracket. but it will depend on the exact relationship.

[DarkArchon]

Pretty simple...You talk about it...Agree upon something...Boom done....That was hard wasn't it? The most common solution you two will come up with is you each pay your own or you rotate.

A Bolton is never a chump. And a sane woman can't resist a rare and delicate sausage of that caliber. /hat tip

[Cerilis]

I generally pay when inviting someone, but if the other one in that situation suggests to split, I'd be fine with that too. I also would expect someone inviting me to be able to pay the whole thing, though I would be prepared to pay at least my own stuff and might suggest to do so beforehand, if the situation allows it.

[Bigbamboozal]

I...used to let her pay...but then she would make me wear the outfit Daddy calls my 'belt' and dance on the breakfast table (bowow-chika-mow-wow)
Now I pay...usually.

[Stormspellz]

depends on how the date was initiated, blind date / set up, pay for your own. Asked? that person pays.

I keep missing the games, every time I check on the thread there seems to be a game in progress, or I missed signups already. *sadface* I see you have a game planned on Monday though
