Sure, it would be nice for the guy to pay...but there's no set rules. Do whatever is comfortable. Don't worry too much about who's paying and just enjoy the night!

Igotamonopoly answered Sunday April 23 2006, 3:33 pm: I think that you should be prepared to split it. Go together and get your tickets, and let him go first. See how many e buys. That should be a pretty big clue ;). Have fun at prom! [ Igotamonopoly's advice column | Ask Igotamonopoly A Question ]

xoMarisox answered Sunday April 23 2006, 10:26 am: Where I live, if a girl asks a guy she pays for both and if a guy asks the girl he pays for both. SO mainly, whoever asks pays. I know it's said to be a tradition that guys pay for you, but it's not really like that anymore. [ xoMarisox's advice column | Ask xoMarisox A Question ]
ScratchesOnTheWall answered Sunday April 23 2006, 6:50 am: It's not many guys who are that comfortable being paid for by a girl to be honest. I know we live in an equal world blah blah blah but it's a male need to provide or something. I'd assume you're going halves unless he offers otherwise.
If he offers to pay, ask him if he's sure and then let him and thank him- starting the whole "no really, i'll get it, no I will" thing gets messy and embarrassing so a gracious acceptance is your best bet.
Just to clarify things, mention this ball and casually drop in you're going to buy the tickets tody/tomorrow/whenever and his reaction will give you a clue as to what he expects will happen money-wise. an "oh right" basically means "i pretty much assume you're paying" but the most likely scenario is him then saying "ok, i'll give you the money today/tomorrow/whenever" either for his or both your tickets.

iSpEaKsPaNiSh answered Sunday April 23 2006, 12:40 am: well, if she asked him he shouldn't be expected to pay for both and neither should the girl. I would say each person should pay for their own unless the guy offers to pay both. [ iSpEaKsPaNiSh's advice column | Ask iSpEaKsPaNiSh A Question ]
HeartsLiesFriends answered Saturday April 22 2006, 11:56 pm: Well traditionally, the boys supposed to pay for both. But i dont really believe in that and i think you both should pay for your own. If you have a date, why not ask them what they think would be fair. But yes in tradition, the boy is supposed to pay. [ HeartsLiesFriends's advice column | Ask HeartsLiesFriends A Question ]
jealousyxo answered Saturday April 22 2006, 11:52 pm: Well for me,i think its better that both of you pay because you dont want it all to be on one person or have the guy pay because its supposed to be "the right way" to do it i kinda think thats overrated a bit now.So yeah i think the right way is for you both to pay for your own ticket because those tickets cost quite a bit of money if its a fancy kinda prom.
