Alright guys, the big debate. Who should pay on a dinner date? The one who asked you? Or both of y'all? Let me know!

My take on that is, for the first few dates, it's the one who asked me. But if we became exclusively dating or we became boyfriends and girlfriends, then it should be both of us.

Yes, I agree with this and I would say this is the ideal setup, but I also offer to split the bill or pay my part and then it becomes dependent with my date.

Yes, Maria, yes, and it really depends because some women want to pay their bills in the first few days because that's them, that's their personality and that's totally fine.

Yes, I totally agree on your points guys. And also I want to add on this that me on the first date, if I pay my part, it also indicates that hey, I'm also financially independent.

The reason why the host should pay is because he asked for the date and if he asked for the date he should take up the responsibility to host the dinner in the proper way.

But as a guest, the person who has been invited should also offer to pay just as a courtesy and they'll definitely build a good connection, a good rapport and a good first impression about the guest as well.

On top of that, if the dates become frequent, then obviously, you know, nobody wants to like put the burden on the other person, so they should split ideally. At least they should offer.

Right? Like, you asked me out. You know, I got all ready. I think that's my compensation. Like, I got all my outfit curated for you. You better pay me that dinner.

And I think it's implied you don't even have to say that okay come over for dinner I'll pay it's like you're inviting so you should pay but if you don't pay it will not reflect good on you

Most definitely the person that offered should pay, but I'm like the masculine type. So even if I was asked out or to go somewhere or whatever, toward the end of the day when it's time to pay, I would be like, no, I got it. You know, that's just me.

Yeah, I totally get this point of view because I would feel so great if I paid for the whole dinner and I'm like, yup, I got money money and this is my showing of love, you know?

I think if you ask somebody out, you should be able to pay. I don't know if you're a guy or girl, it doesn't matter. Whoever asks somebody out should be able to pay. Same thing as when you ask your friends to hang out with you, you should pay.

I kinda like the narrative of a host and a guest. If I'm hosting the party or the dinner or anything, I'm arranging for everything. That includes paying for the meal.

At the same time, if the girl that I invited over doesn't even offer to pay, that would look kinda awkward to me, so she should offer to pay, just as a courtesy.

That would reflect good on her. You know, she'd be able to create a really good first impression even though I definitely wouldn't take the money. I would have already paid for the...

And if the dates become frequent, you know, there would be times when I ask her out and there would be times when she would ask me out. So whosoever is the host should pay. Right.

This is like a non-written, non-spoken about rule of engagement, right? This is how it should be. This is the ideal way to do it. Yeah.
