Conservative Side
I know that I may sound a bit old-fashioned but I just talked with my oldest sister about this and she says that I’m just too conservative. But I really feel strongly that when a guy asks a girl out on the first date, when the bill arrives it should be the guy that pays. It’s just the thing to do to make her feel special and his best chance to impress his date.
Then on later dates and different circumstances, if the girl agrees in advance to go “dutch” then that’s OK. But the first date is all about impressing the other person, and a guy who comes off as broke or cheap just isn’t going to make the cut. So that is my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
