If you've already been dating him for a while, I would have assumed that by this point, you're comfortable enough alternating who pays on your outings.

Then again, I'm from America, and originally from Philadelphia (up North), chivalry is all but dead up there.

I agree, if it's the start of a new relationship I think the guy should pay but after a while it shouldn't matter and i don't think guys should ALWAYS have to pay. If i'm dating a guy, I like to treat him too and buy him things but i expect the same back. It just goes back to the saying "don't expect someone to do what you wouldn't do for them"

I have a rather disgusting mental picture of this now. You're not one of those guys who "likes" to eat when aunt flo is in town are you?

haha you lead yourself to think down that road. i'm talking about runny half cooked eggs over rice with lots of ketchup.

A simple rule of thumb to follow when wondering who pays on a date is: whoever initiated the date, is expected to pay for it.

On a first date I like it when the man pays because for me its not the money but the feeling behind it. It makes the man seem sexy and romantic. It shows me that he is interested in me more than just a 'friend' would be. After that if we go for ice cream or for a drink somewhere I'll pay. Once a relationship is settled then whoever has the money pays or we combine our money to pay.
