I usually ask if they want to go to Sals on 17th - yes she gets the boot, no she gets a chance.

What happened to your "significant other" who used to sit on the same side of the booth with you?

Yeah, it sucks for guys that so many girls seem to expect them to pay for dates. If a guy asks me out I'll always offer to split the bill (sincerely... not just offering to be nice). If I ask him out then I definitely don't expect him to be paying for me. He works just as hard for his money as I do, so why would I expect him to spend his hard earned cash on me? If women are all about gender equality these days anyway, this shouldn't be any different IMO. Of course, it's always nice when he insists that he pays, but I would never just expect it.

If the threads he posts on CP are any indication of his behaviour on a date, I assume he makes some ridiculous statement, then daydreams while she points out how ridiculous what he just said was while never responding to anything she says. Then, after she seems to be finished talking, he'll make another ridiculous statement and repeat the process.

Maybe your conversation isn't fascinating enough that she feels it's worth $8 for the Big Mac meal she's consumed in your company? Just a crazy guess.

I wouldn't call a women who doesn't offer to pay for dinner scummy. I would call her still hungry.

I did not judge her based on whether she offered to pay. I'm taking you out, it's my treat.

I might feel different if the date was her idea or we were going out and doing something on her request/demand. I wouldn't expect her to pay, but it might be nice for her to offer once in a while in those circumstances.

If you're concerned about dating spoiled princesses, I think there are ways to figure that out before you get the cheque on the first date. Hell, can't you figure that out before you even decide to ask her out? You just ask girls out because they're hot and then get to know them later? Is that how it works these days?
Hell I'm even younger than you, I'm not even close to being old enough to say "back in my day"

But I would never expect the girl to pay for a first date, I'd be embarrassed almost if they payed and I let them. Even if it's their idea I'd probably pay, if I'm going then its someone I'd want to go out with, I wouldn't want them to pay

I thought the protocol was to pay half up front and the other half afterward?

One time I had a girl who insisted on paying on the first date because she "wanted me to want to take her out again." It was a nice sentiment. Unfortunately, she ended up giving me the clap. Nice diversion, hussy.

That seems like a lot of effort. All she had to say was "anal on the 2nd date"...

This ACTUALLY happened to me!

Took her to The Keg to impress - and I forgot my wallet!!!

She laughed at me and paid the bill.

That was in 1993.

We have been married now for 16.5 years.

step 1 - get a box and cut a hole in it
step 2 - put your junk in the box
step 3 - give her the box

once she opens it, you'll either get the bums rush out the door, or you'll be ordering pizza in in about an hour

If I had it on the first date it goes without saying that I'd have it on the second date...

What if it's a hooker?
Should she be obliged to pay? I mean she's probably just gonna invoice you for it after the fact anyway right?
