AQSM, I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I didn't really know. I tried to get you an accurate answer by asking the other half. He doesn't know either. LMAO. We actually met through a community organization. (Not a BDSM community type thing.) It was very much the habit of everyone to go out together and everyone picked up their own tab. We were usually the last to leave, sitting over our non coffee (he doesn't drink it either) until one of us had to go home. If we actually did go out on a date, it would depend. We'd take turns and we'd do small gestures for each other. (The man doesn't cook, but when courting, he made Me the best candlelit dinner at home. I was actually impressed considering how little and I do mean little he cooked for himself when he was single. If we're technical, he paid for that one. <wink>) Of course, now we're talking about relationship, rather than just first meet. And, to be fair, you have to realize that I'm very specific about money. We still have separate checking accounts and have always split bills. I pay less on bills than he does, but I'm the entertainment expense person. I do the saving for the trips, kink events, and so on. I'm just the one of us who is better at it. My father was (is) anal retentive about money and some of that rubbed off on Me growing up. (Ask MP, it's not always a plus.) One last thing you have to consider about why I intend to pay. If it's a first meet at lunch or something, there are two of us and only one person that we're meeting. Now, it wouldn't really be fair of Me to expect the other person to pick up the tab, would it? [:D] Before I forget, I'd like to thank you for the compliment here, as well as the other thread. I appreciated that.
