Its not rude not to offer. A) Don't judge too harshly if the guy asks for a little help on the bill (its a pretty big lump of pride we have to swallow for that too happen). B) If you do offer then don't be upset if he takes you up on it. If you really don't want to pay or don't think you should then don't offer...otherwise you just come off as being really insincere.

that's passive aggressive wuss stuff.

If you want sex, ok, pay the bill.

if you want a relationship, be a man, and split fairly the bill. How would you feel if somebody tried to buy you, with a dinner? It feels lame, trust me.

A little trick i do, to skip the awkward part, is, i just give her the bill, and ask her to tell me how much i have to pay, because i'm awful with numbers. and they just smile and do it :)

What a Jerk: "Your feminine Hygeine isn't my problem!" That really shows ignorance and a lack of care. I work at a cash register and it's cute to see a guy just buying tampons for his girl.....just doing something for her, not expected, is so cute.

If we -really- need our products and we're -really- broke, please do pick up the tab.. Or else we'll bleed all your stuff. Who's problem is it then?

I think kindness goes along way, if a lady needs somethign urgently and you can give her the money for it why not? And ladies if you know you'r man aint loaded, don't insist on going places that requires alot of money.. being kind and sincere is so attractive, and comes right back at you!! I don't care what anyone says!

does a woman really like it to have a man pay for the dinner?

isn't that the thing all losers do, as soon as they can get their hands on a woman?

men: don't ever pay for the first dinner, only do it once you really like the woman, and she stands a chance of being the one... or else, you'll end up chauvinistic, thinking that women only care about your money.

a lot of girls told me it's totally unattractive to have their meals payed for, by their partner. do it at you own risk!

I think it depends, sometimes it can be tough for students (or say, backpackers) because they might have most of the normal costs of adult living but only a fraction of a normal adult wage. If they are working full time then I agree it is REALLY REALLY bad news. Run!

Any man with class or woman who isn't feminist should know that there should never be an argument. The guy ALWAYS pays.
If there are ever any arguments, either the guy isn't making enough money, or the girl is ordering irresponsibly.
Any questions?

Keep up the good work, Nice Guy. While you're paying for dinner she'll be in the bathroom "freshening up" by calling/texting me about when she can ditch you.

Later that night and after a couple of mixed drinks, I'll be treating her like a human urinal and you'll be at home fapping to porn hoping your "good" girl will put out after some arbitrary courtship. lmao.

Keep subsidizing her food bill, loser, because hell if I want to. I'd rather be building wealth than wasting it on women. bwahaha

With my job, I don't have to worry about building wealth anymore. What's a $200 dinner here or there? Oh and I'm only 28. You're only a little varmint who scrounges around for the undigested berries in my feces. Scrambling for wealth, lacking any real talent to make it big, filling the void with empty hedonism. Continue to enjoy life on the level of an alpha lion, only eating, sleeping and screwing.
Now, I must get back to the Market, got a couple of trades to make before a weekend in Rome.

rome isnt that great, i was there for two weeks. get your head out of your ass, theres nothing but s**t and dixonadas juice in there.

no really, my lifes plan is to marry into a wealthy family, fortunately i loved her before i knew she was rich, but does that make me a parasite? i dont care. get a life, stop insulting people on youtube (i know i just did, but i was justified by sheer aswholeness)

Ok, if you couldn't tell I was joking you need to immediately stop taking life so seriously.

Depends who asked who out. If a girl asks me out, don't expect me to cover the tab. I'll gladly split it, though.

I don't really mind who pays that first tab- I do get in a bit better mood when the wallet is the same weight when I enter as when I leave.

ROTFLMAO! I love how you p*****s continue to waste money on women. More money does NOT equate to more sex.

You need game! Ask a bi*ch, "When are you having dinner?" She'll say 7PM or something, so I'll reply with, "Great! You'll be done by 9PM so we'll meet at the bar afterwards." Then after a couple of shots we're going to her place to knock boots.

You sh*ts keep wasting time and money on these broads and you're making me rich. I get laid more for less money. Keep up the good work, Ace!
