Who Should Ask and Who Should Pay?

[Lioness]

Men - do you feel funny if a woman asks you out on a date? If you accept, do you expect her to pay for everything?

Do you think a woman should pay for herself on a date, especially if she makes more money than you?

Women - would you ask a man to go out with you? Would you expect him to at least offer to pay?

If a man asked you out, then expected you to pay for your own meal/drinks, would you be angry, or is this perfectly fair?

If he expects you to pay your own way, should he mention this beforehand, or should you assume this may be the case?

Have you ever insisted on paying, either because you're a feminist, or so there will be no question of "owing" him anything?

Thanks for your responses.

Hey Lioness, this topic has been done heaps. There are lots of old threads on it.

But anyway, im a girl and i don't tend to ask guys out. I do occassionally but its like being chased by guys and having them being the dominant ones. Asking them out kills that.

If its with my guy friends, we tend to split it. Dates, they almost always pay. I offer but they insist. I don't mind paying though.
