Paying Etiquette: Who Picks Up The Check? What the hell is going on? why do I have to pay for the bill? Is it because i am a man and you being a woman? Most women earn more than their average men and from our view, there isn’t any law that states that a man needs to carry the whole burden on that first day. BUT WAIT! Who pays for the first date? Actually, men should do that on the first date, well some educated women will try to pay the half, which is much appreciated, but if not, men should go ahead and do the do. There is always a tension when the bill comes. But all these got something to do with paying etiquette. In 40 years ago, Men were doing the payment, even not only on the first date, but most of the time. Today, some women are so much uneducated, that they do still believe that the man is their bank and he needs to pay for all the bills on all dates. Wait a minute ladies, you are not married to this guy and even if you have, then make sure to give your monthly salary to the man to do the paying issues. SO, back to the first date paying issue. One of the touchiest dating issues today has to do with money: Who pays, the man or the woman, and when? On the other hand, some women see men to be cheap asses, if men do not dig their hands into their wallets, to settle the bill! So these are some tips for the men: FIRST TIME IMMPRESSION: I do think, no guy on his normal sense will like to date a woman just because he feels like dating. 99,9% of men have the same goal to date a woman, which we all do know. So men, to fulfil this goal, you will need to dig your hands in that wallet on the first date! Well, you could also do the payment on the early stages, but the question will be, when is the early stage and when is the ending part. Paying for things is not just the gentlemanly thing to do (YES), it also indicates that you are responsible(YES), steady and well-established(YES) and Women like that (YES);, But who cares for a lady who will just be ready for your pocket? IF YOU ASK HER OUT However, if she decides to take part in the payment, then go ahead and see that as a good gesture. A good general rule when it comes to these situations is to ask yourself, “Who asked who?” If you instigated the date, then you will be expected to pay. In fact, it’s good to be prepared to pay, regardless. Nothing looks more pathetic than a guy’s sheepish expression when he doesn’t have enough money with him to cover the charges; and in today’s world of credit and debit cards, this shouldn’t be an issue. IF SHE ASK YOU OUT Most in these situations, it’s more likely that she will cover both of you… and why not? The date was her idea. It only makes sense. Unfortunately, some men still have a problem with letting women pay for them, but there is absolutely no reason to feel insecure if this happens occasionally, as long as you don’t constantly rely on her to pay your way. Some men also need to learn from being asssssses!– Do not let women pay for you all the time! Get a job and do some payments too! GOSH! So, i will continue this next week! Sty tune So who paid for the bill on your first date? Your comments are welcome!
