ORIGINAL: Diffident It's a bit rude to ask someone to go out with you and then dump half the bill on them at the end of the night. You might have gotten a different answer if you had said that this is what you were planning at the time of asking. If a woman does offer to pay her share of the first date I take that as a sign that I have been friend-zoned, because that is nearly always what it means. That's not been my experience, I must say. Women I've got together with have tended to be feminists - because I tend to find these more congenial. (Well, actually, that's most of the women I even meet, anyway.) They'll offer to pay half, or just will pay half anyway - but won't make a fuss about it. Easy enough. I also must say: the type of woman I expect to demand to be paid for is going to be right wing and non- or even anti- feminist. I have picture in my head of a 'powder-puff type', as I call them: the sort who considers herself an expensive jewel and will pout furiously unless she's treated that way by means of extensive wallet-emptying on my part .... RM, I suspect, wouldn't recognise this nor even understand what I'm talking about - in part, I think, because he's already pre-defined a 'feminist' as 'someone who wants to grab what she can off men'. But, but, we've done this subject of 'Who pays on first dates?' many, many times on this forum. The whole issue can turn into a damned minefield. There'll be women who claim to be feminists, but who want the man to pay and that does indeed smell of hypocrisy. There'll also be women - and men - who appreciate what feminism is, but also have a fondness for some old-fashioned manners. An example of the latter is the tacit rule that the person asking the other on a date, pays. And then there's the easy-going feminist who is conscious that man might feel somewhat insulted unless he pays the entire bill. To hell with it, I always think. I'll generally take the route that least makes paying the bill an issue. But, then, the sort of women I meet are the same. Again: I don't tend to get together with powder-puffs. Or man-haters, or tiresome, raging anti-feminists. In fact, I don't even know any of those sorts, these days. Sorted. :)
