Following My Dream Nearly Cost Me My Marriage
But after that first date, if the woman has decided that she likes him enough to see him again, then I think equality comes in and I would always offer to split it. If he still declines then, that’s great but I’d then try and take him out and then I’d expect to pay the whole bill. If he refuses to let me pay, then I’d try and cover other things, cinema tickets, drinks etc.
Having said that, the last guy I dated paid for every dinner we had. I even tried sneakily to pay the bill whilst he was at the bathroom, but he just wouldn’t let me. And it was really nice. I see what you’re saying about it showing how much he wants to be with you; it did make me feel really special and therefore, consciously or not, the feeling was reciprocated. And I was more and more excited about him. Whether that was because I thought he would ‘look after me’ or not I don’t know, but it at least showed that he was romantic, which is what I would want in a relationship, but I would expect to give it back too rather than just receive it.
I’m fully aware that things might work differently in the US to the UK, but I think maybe our sentiments are the same. It would be great if the guy wanted to pay for everything, but actually it would make me a little awkward.
I also think I might feel that way as I’ve earned the most in every serious relationship I’ve had and so am used to paying the lion’s share or even (in my last relationship) paying for everything, literally everything, for 2 years!
So perhaps we shouldn’t stick rigidly to rules, but just go with what happens, if you really hit it off with someone then maybe who picks up the bill becomes less important.
All the best
