Okay, but why are you asking if he pays for the 1st date?
Like, what are you getting at with that questioning?
I mean, my first date with my girl, I went to pay and she insisted we split the check. I'm just traditional in that way but she was adamant about squaring it up. So I was like, cool.
She basically set the ground rules subtly right there. There's other ways I take charge but she aint gonna be bought like that...so to speak. So we developed an understanding early on, and over the last few months.
I think a lot of women don't make enough of an effort to clarify what she's expecting and what she's offering.
But I don't really have a dog in this fight/thread.
I'm just observing.
