How many times have you paid the whole bill on the first date? How many times has a date paid the whole bill on the first date?

I don't take dates to restaurants

storffish · 2018-10-10T03:06:26+00:00

I don't do dates in the wining and dining sense, but I'll smoke her out if she gets pizza or chinese. then we fuck. not necessarily in that order.

capital-D dates are for wife material, I'm here for the hoes ❤️

I've paid, I'd say, 90% of the time. I always let the check sit there for a few seconds to see if she'll reach, then I'll insist, and if she insists, then I'll let her pay her half, if not, I treat it as a last date. I've had a few texts from women calling me an asshole for telling them that I don't think it would work out. They seem so confused but I think it would be obvious. If you are going to spend any portion of the night talking about how important your career is to you and how independent you are, then you should be paying for your meal. Otherwise.... well, hypocrisy is not a good first impression, ya know?

I used to split 50/50. Wasn't very successful at dating back then and rarely got past a first date.

I don't go on many dates now. I pay for the full thing. My dates are a lot more successful now. Is it because I paid? Who knows, but it's at least a partial factor.

Never had a woman even offer.

I wasn't born in the 50s so I do not go on "first dates" and do not know anyone (except my parents generation) that does.

Nowadays going on formal/romantic dates is something you do if you are already a couple, but not if you are just getting to know each other. Sure I will pay if I invite my LTR to a dinner for her birthday, but special dates like that are the only time we actually go on dates.

There's no bill to pay if you just meet each other at a friends place, at a house party, at each other's place or if you get drunk in some local park.

I pay for the first date like 95% of the time. But the first date is usually 1-2 drinks at a bar 5 minutes from one of our residences at 9:30. If my shit's not together enough to afford 10 bucks worth of vodka, I don't deserve the lay.

Sushi dinners are for girls I'm already sleeping with.

I paid the whole bill once, in University. Ending up having predictably crappy sex with that girl a few weeks later. I have never had a first date pay the whole bill, however every date I've had through online dating has involved paying our own way, albeit with the occasional confused look when I clearly ask for the bill to be split.

Every/never

I don't really do dates that require a lot of paying. I'll pay for coffee or door tickets to a museum if I'm the one that asked the girl out, but I prefer to go hiking or walking the waterfront - Especially early on in a relationship, when I don't know if it's gonna go anywhere, I don't have the disposable income to throw away on what might be a stranger in a few weeks.

I buy my friends dinner a lot, though. They also buy me dinner a lot. So I guess the moral of the story is "earn it first".

[deleted] · 2018-10-10T11:01:18+00:00

I take the cash to pay for both of us but usually they'll offer to pay half. Then I'll suggest we pay for what we wat cos I usually eat and drink a fair amount more and it's only fair.

I've paid the whole for a fair few dates. The ones who've bought me dinner were usually older than me. Once she was married and it was on the husband's credit card.

All the times.

None the times.

goatismycopilot · 2018-10-10T02:52:11+00:00

Never/every.

How many times have you paid the whole bill on the first date?

Almost every time. But this was back in the 80s and 90s.

How many times has a date paid the whole bill on the first date?

Maybe once or twice, Mrs. Cross paid when she took me out when we were dating. Other than that? No one.

[deleted] · 2018-10-10T15:16:56+00:00

Every single one so far

prodigy2throw · 2018-10-10T16:32:19+00:00

Back in my tinder/ bumble days I was a complete amateur with dating. As in never went on dates and had no clue wtf to do. I paid for every dinner like a gentlesir and literally got ghosted every time.

I learned fast once I found TRP. Stopped doing “dates” and stopped paying for shit. Lost my virginity within about 6 months after reading and subscribing to TRP.

Now with my SO it’s about a 60/40 split my way but we don’t really pay attention. Whoever pull their cash out first pays regardless of if it’s groceries, lunch dates, etc.

But NEVER take a woman you just met to dinner. NEVER.

mistercheeez-o____O- · 2018-10-10T18:32:18+00:00

95% of the time.

The 5% is if the woman is really insisting that she pays for the first date.
