View Full Version : USA Today Survey Question for March 6, 2006, Who should pay on the first date?
TVFactFan 03-06-2006, 04:33 PM 42% said the man, 34% said whoever asked the other person out and 17% said go dutch. I agree with the 34% because if you asked the person out I feel you should pay. Now in the situation of a blind date, I think it should be DUTCH. Anyone agree? i mean you don;t know what each other look like and you don;t know if there will be a second date for sure so i say it's best to go dutch. No point in wasting money-lol

In my opinion, it should be dutch whether it's the first date or not.
TheGenius 03-06-2006, 05:45 PM I say the female should pay for the honor of being out with me :cool:
swedeace 03-06-2006, 06:05 PM Hmmm.... that makes a lot of sense for the one who asked the other person out should pay. Either that or "go dutch."

I think so Irene! This guy is really ticking me off! So "into" himself. And get this.......he called me "sweetie" :eek: :lol:
InspectorExstead 03-07-2006, 02:54 AM Whoever asked the other person. Or going dutch.
But I'm not a big fan of men paying. Even guy friends. A couple of them have payed for dinner or coffee and it makes me feel weird.

I try to be friendly, but respect the fact that what I said made you uncomfortable. I'll try not to put you in that position again :thumbsup:
*MIBabe03* 03-07-2006, 12:41 PM My man pays for me everytime we go out.
TVFactFan 03-07-2006, 01:12 PM My man pays for me everytime we go out.
well if he is your man that's different. We are talking about first dates. And by the way, do u ever treat your man to anything? Oh it's probably sex right?-lol
Chad Michael Murray 03-07-2006, 01:18 PM I'm pretty mixed on this. On the one hand, if I wasn't very interested in someone before but then they asked me out and I decided to give it a shot, I'd think the person who asked should pay since I never would've had intentions of going out with them previously.
However...I just have issues with the gentlemanly part of my brain. It's so hard for me to do that. As the guy, I always feel like it would be bad manners to expect a woman to pay. I just couldn't do that. Even if I was the one asked on the date, I'd end up paying just because I feel like it's the right thing to do.

Polniaczek033 03-07-2006, 08:00 PM i usually pay when me and my boyfriend go out. but that's just because he doesn't have a job. :lol: i think it just depends on who asked who or something.
