First dates...
Whether you go out for a meal, bowling, cinema or anything that involves money...it leaves that awkward moment in every girls head "so who's paying?"
Your welcome for the totally unrelated picture
There's always a lot of controversy and stigma on whether a girl should pay, but I don't understand why. We're not in the 1950's. If a girl wishes to pay should be allowed to without the guy going "oh no you can't".
I believe on a first date you should just go dutch and cut out the awkward "oh no, I'll pay" "are you sure?" conversation. That should be the expectation. I've heard plenty of girls saying "He made me pay" as if that's a criminal offence. Why should the guy pay for your meal? This could potentially be the first time he's ever met you, who knows if your going to work out. The first date is discovering if you fancy each other, if there's sparks, if you have anything in common apart from the same job.
If the guy pays - great. But there should never be an expectation of a guy to pay. On my first date with my boyfriend, we went dutch. I felt like punching every person who looked down on me and mocked "he didn't pay?". I am not a women who needs to be brought or paid for, I am my own women who makes my own money. Myself and my boyfriend take it in turns to pay for our dates, which is how I think it should be.
What's your opinion? Should the guy pay on a first date? Should it be dutch? Or should the women even pay? #nogenderstereotypes
