If he agrees to pay for both dinners don't argue, just let him. But if you want to pay for your dinner split the bill. In other words; let him pay for his meal and you pay for yours.

If he's a bf and u knoow him good u can ask if he need help...if it's a friendly date ya'll can split it...but as far as pay the whole bill...I think it's a man's handling unless he luks like he needs help.

4everMyself2 answered Sunday May 7 2006, 9:00 pm: If he asked you on the date then most likely he will be willing to pay. But if you are the one that asked him then when the check arrives you should wait and see if he pulls out his check book. If he doesn't then you'll could either go half or you pay for it or you could just ask him what he wants to do. [ 4everMyself2's advice column | Ask 4everMyself2 A Question ]
Notso answered Sunday May 7 2006, 8:55 pm: I think you can usually get the gist of who's going to pay while you're on your date. If he opens the car door for you, waits for you to sit down and stuff like that, chances are he'll pay, and expects to pay.
However if you don't get obvious clues like that I'd say smile, and offer to go halves.
If you invited him though, I'd offer to pay the whole thing. General rule of thumb is inviter pays.
Lyfe8allbad answered Sunday May 7 2006, 8:44 pm: Ok before any thing starts da question you should ask is who asked who to go where? secondly it is always the guy who is suppose to get the check because its the law of class but if the check stays there for more den 20 seconds den just pick up the check. HOwever if the man doesnt want to be embarass he would pick da check up. [ Lyfe8allbad's advice column | Ask Lyfe8allbad A Question ]
kristen22 answered Sunday May 7 2006, 8:15 pm: Many different women will give you different responses on your question. When the bills comes to the table don't just pick it up that very second. That makes it look like your in a hurry to high~tail it outta' there! I would wait a bit and see if he makes a move for it. If you've sat there a reasonable amount of time after your done eating and he doesnt make a move to grab the bill, then you can. If he lets you pay for it without even offering, that would be the end of my dating history with him! Good luck I know this is the most akward part of a 1st time dinner date!

xomegaroni answered Sunday May 7 2006, 7:54 pm: try splitting it first. maybe go for the checkbook & ask if he wants to split it with you er what. don't worry too much about it. go with the flow. if you go for it & ask to split it, that'll probably go better. after you guys date awhile, it'll become more comfortable if he pays since he's the guy & what not.
