I kinda like when the guy pays first. As my boyfriend and I went on more dates, we switched who would pay or paid for our own. Now we share all our money so it doesn't matter who pays.
when I'm out with my boyfriend I hate getting treated xD
I always feel like I owe people that way. We always kinda share.
He buys the popcorn, I the drinks or something like that~
Whoever invites, pays. It's that simple. By inviting someone you're telling them you have enough money to pay for their meal, and it doesn't matter who earns more as long as both have enough. Sure, if your partner hit some hard times and is struggling to get by, it's best if you pay for them. But if both have enough money to pay for dinner without it influencing their everyday life, the rule applies.
Or, if you already know the person for a longer time and you're both comfortable with each other, you split the bill.
This was years ago but a man took me out on a dinner date. Afterwards he suggested to see a movie which I paid for. He looked at me and said "Oh, a modern woman; I like that". It wasn't about being modern or hip; it was just the right thing to do in my opinion but that's me. I do that with my friends as well.
