Hey there,

I'm going to get straight to the point here...

I feel in a relationship EVERYTHING needs to be 50/50.. I pay for dinner, she pays for the movie, I drove on Friday, she drives on Sat, I eat her box, she frolics the balls...

I am entering a new relationship and this is the first one in a while that I have want to pursue and get to know her better as a person. How do I firmly establish that I want everything to be 50/50 without coming off as cheap or an asshole?

In previous experiences if I asked the female to pay and she either refused or said she didn't have money, I would leave the shit on the table and just walk out without receiving dinner/coffee/movie tickets whatever... I don't want to have to use that move on this chick, but I still want to establish that I expect her to cough up half the cash when we go out... Advice please!
