That's so she feels no obligation when she dumps you.

alternate or split sometimes...
seems the most fair

My girlfriend is really awesome, she likes to pay maybe 30-35% of the time. That is actually a lot since I'm working full time and she is a student with a part time job. She admits that she enjoys taking me out which just makes me mind paying for her even less. My current girlfriend has completely exceeded all of my expectations and has in my opinion reached that "unicorn" status. This one is a definite keeper and I'm not going to let her get way.

ahh unicorn status, that's about as good as it gets.

On a regular basis, Id say the guy pays. But I do think the girl should pay once in a while. I've been with my gf for two years now. I d say I pay 60% of the time, and she pays the other 40% of the time, and we're both fine with that. Hell, she makes $15K more than I do, so I should be able to get a free dinner once in a while, right?

Same here, except the 15k more than me.

hey kids, the guys should always pay for dinner. if she wants to pay, just ask her to cook you something instead, and you bring the alcohol. the fun starts then.

Whoever does the inviting out on the date.

he does, always.
I'm too broke.
(but occasionally I will take him out)

Man up and pay for dinner. If she really wants to pay, let her and then get her a gift with the money you didn't lay out for dinner.

SO MAN UP!
