I got the girl, got the number, and got the date. It's been FOREVER since I've been on a date. I know I'll do fine, but my question is with who's paying for what. In highschool, I used to do the stereotypical guy pays for everything. In college, I was a broke joke and did everything 'dutch.' Now that I'm older and have a big boy job, I'm not sure how to go about paying. I'm really big into not paying for girls drinks and what not simply because I don't think is right. What do you think? Should I man up, bite the bullet and just pay for her for the date? We're just going out for drinks and chat. How could I tactfully tell her I'm not ok with buying her drinks? I don't wanna look like a cheapass, but it also goes against what I think is right. This is a clusterfuck of a paragraph, but advice please.
