Re: paying for your girl friend.
As a single girl out there this is my opinion on the matter.
If he askes me out I expect him to pay. If I do the asking I am willing to pay (how do I know they have money for the date). However, if they offer to pay I will graciously accept.
If we continue dating past a few dates, then yes we can talk about it and I don't mind splitting the cost 50/50.
If a man wants to go out and he asks me and expects me to pay...then there is a problem.
I don't mind going on inexpensive dates, in fact I generally enjoy them more. Movies are expensive nowadays and even DVD's at home are two hours of watching, but not really getting to know the person. I'd much rather do an activity that requires more one on one involement.
And I'd love the opportunity to cook a home made meal for someone and help them with yard work I enjoy, or them helping me refinish my table, or something like that.
