Depends on the situation and who invited whom.

When I was single and asked a woman out on a date I always paid. Even when a woman invited me I still offered to pay (it was how I was raised) and many times I did. Women are more independent now and make better wages than they did 20 years ago and some get offended if a man offers to pay. I still think a man should offer and be prepared to.

I usually offer to contribute towards the bill, but I like it when he says no, not because I am looking for a free meal, but because it makes me feel special and like "he's the man!". I would reciprocate in some way however, like invite him to some event (my treat), or invite him over to dinner.

I think the female should be treated like a Queen and she should not have to wait for a honk, open a door, step on a mud puddle, unless the person courting covers the mud with his coat, and especially pay for any part of the date. I will expect this when my daughter starts dating as well.

Whoever asked/invited the other to the date should pay. If a woman asked/invited a man on the date, the man probably won't be so old fashioned to expect to pay. But always, no matter what role you play, have enough money available with you to pay, at least for yourself. Otherwise when the check comes it might get really uncomfortable if you are not on the same page. And if you feel it would be more fair to each contribute, instead of asking to two checks or awkwardly whipping out the calculators, the invited should just pick up the tip for dinner, and then later pay for something smaller, like the popcorn at the movie, or ice cream afterwards

Yes, if he wants to make a good impression.

I think it depends on the situation, who asked who to go, and how long the two have been together. On the first few dates I do feel like it is the man's place to ask a woman out. Since he has asked, he should pay. Please guys, never leave a woman where she has to pay when she was asked out. This is of course if it's a date. If you're going as friends just pay for yourself unless you're feeling generous :) and if you have been dating for a while, I guess it just depends if you have crossed the line where you are "sharing" things or not.

I think the woman should pay because if it leads to anything she will eventually get everything he owns in the divorce!

Yes, especially if it's established that he makes more money.

I never let the man pay until we were together for awhile, and even then it was not all the time. Usually only if it was something he brought up unexpectedly.

I don't think that there's an obligation but in most instances, I think that a gentleman would pick up the tab unless you both had agreed to go dutch beforehand.

Since we are living in a semi-equal world I believe if he asks or asked you out on a date he should pay now if you ask or asked then you should pay (thats just out of courtesy..A true gentleman would just go ahead and pay) but these days romance and chivalry is total out the window. On the other hand you have to make sure its a date not just hanging out

I believe it should be traditional, unless the relationship is untraditional.. in other words... Yeah the male should pay... however its ok if she wants to pay ... still leave her wanting...
