If a guy ask me to go out he should pay if he is interested . Now if we are just friends than I wouldn't expect it. I'm somewhat traditional a man should pay. Not all the time. But damn at least the first date. If I don't like him it is mostly because he is weird or scary. I wouldn't cut u off just because we weren't compatible. If a man isn't willing to pay for a first date he shouldn't be looking for a date. A real woman wants a real man. One who is not selfish and who is willing to do for her. This is what we look for and not paying on a first date is a bad sign. It's just how things work it's the same way how men automatically think that woman should cook more for her family. Some things are just the way they are.
every man is real , what you want is a man to pony up his hard earnings while you sit and stuff your face, or enjoy the movie, or bowling, or whatever. What you want is to be chased
