We all "pay" in one way or another, the $64 question is, do you think what you gain out of it is worth it ?



Hmmmmm.

She's right -- what you don't put in from your wallet you better put in from your heart. That is to say, if the man does the labor, the girls does the favor.

Oh come now, I would hope you can get your girl to do "favours" without buying them.

And why is it a $64 question anyways Baf?
 
we both work and share the same accounts. but normally he carries the money if we go out together.
 
I always paid with my girlfriends......at first, I got used to paying for any female that I was with, to both treat her and also cuz I used to think that that would impress them......and then I just got used to paying.

But I would occasionally remind my ex how nice of toys I would have if I didn't always pay. 😉

damn freeloaders:|

Yeah, I always pay for any girl I take on a date...that did backfire sometimes though...🙁...but its alright 🙂
 
Depends on what we are doing but I pay most of the time. If it is something that she knows that I won't goto if I pay then she pays (i.e art shows etc.)

I pay, always. Primarily due to the fact that I make about 10x her yearly income. Viper GTS

Same here except sometimes she insisted on paying for the meal or for the bowling.

I need to wake up, for a moment I thought you said 'blowing' :Q
 
been out with five different girls in the past two months and i paid for most of the stuff on every date.

forgot about something. 😀

This for both the singles and the married and the gals can chime in if they wish.

When dating/hanging out/fooling around/just being together who pays? Do you, the guy pay, or does/did your girlfriend pay. Was it Dutch or did you take turns paying?

My wife and I were "together" for a year before we got married at the ripe young age of 25. I was an on/off student, part time/full time worker and sometimes slackard. She was a straight arrow employee at a bank. She paid for everything we did, everywhere we went, anything we ate and all of what we did. I never paid a penny for anything because I didn't have a penny. She didn't have a car because she took the bus everyplace so she loaned me $500 to buy an automobile so that I wouldn't have to borrow a car when we wanted to go out.

When we got married we drove to Vegas, she paid the JP $35 to get married and we came back home to her apartment.

What's your story?
At the beginning, first month or so, she insisted dutch, I inisisted that i pay. We agreed after 2 months of dating we would start going dutch. Did that.

Now I own a home and we live together (engaged).
The new rule is. I pay the mortgage, phone, electric, cable bills which are half of my salary. She pays forthe food we eat at home and she pays about 80% oof the time whenwe eat out. We each pay for our own vehicle.

So, I hope to put LOTS of money in Datek in the near future. There's always something I end up buying. Liek this month I needed about $300 in stuff to do my brakes. I needed that 3.5 ton jack 🙂 New rotor and stuff. Did it all on my own. Had to go buy a 1 3/16" socket to do the rotor. What crap. Had the 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 but not in between. What BS that was.

 
Me always .. cept maybe once or twice, never on a date though .. I always paid for those.

Why wouldn't it be more than $64 though? That seems pretty low 😛
 
My fiance has paid for mostly everything BUT, I never expect him to pay. Up until recently (now not working) I would always offer to pay for him as well as myself almost as often as he paid for me. Now he just pays for everything. "Whats his is mine, and mine is mine!"
 
In University I had a larger allowance so I paid a heavier amount of things. Now since our finances are split we both pay; doesn't matter who's account it's from. Course since I'm the only one working at the moment I pay!
 
my boyfriend always pays...that was befoe we were living together.
When we first started dating...he always paid, which took me some time to get used to. I felt bad for him paying, but he insisted. I made me feel special. In turn, i would not get something super expensive either. He is/was a gentleman!
