Dating is hard and culture is very important, knowing the persons background and where their from is very important and their habits and how they act.

Don't vomit on your date. Sure it makes an interesting story for when you're older but minimal (if any) people get to that point

I say, it doesnt matter about who pays, and who doesnt. If you truly like someone, money shouldnt matter, and the only thing that matters would be having a good time.
Whats the point on going on a date if all your going to think about is how come he/she didnt pay. ..

It really wasn't a date.... But I went out with a guy-friend. I kinda liked him, He didn't offer to pay for my ticket, Didn't offer me Popcorn! I haven't spoken to him since- and never want to.....
Blokes- if you going with a girl anywhere, ask them what they want to eat and if they say "I'll pay." go along with it- if they say "A Bottle of water would be great." get it for them..... it makes us feel worthy of $3.00

Dating can be a real arse but what u girls have to do is act like u dnt like a guy that you know likes u and act shady like you dont know him... dont give him information and if u like him and he thinks u do tell him u dnt so he thinks he is the higher authority which he isnt just hang in there i think some of you might get a valentine!!! but remember you are the boss you take this as far as you want not litterally dont take it a year or two just a few weeks till you know him very well and remember dont let him see hear or know that you like him

i reckon if you actually go out it's cute for the guy to pay, but the girl should, but i think a grewat date is just going to ur house and just watching a movie! so much more fun ( and never invite ur friends to cum as well, trust me) :)

well, on a date NEVER!!! go to the zoo! Unless you want a childish BF!?
And we dont live in the 90 century, its okay for a girl to pay, because you dont want to pig out and want your bf to pay! Take turns i say!
thats the best ay!!! :)

i agree with Thomas. thats so stupid how guys have to pay all the time, thats sterio typing saying that they HAVE to. I reckon they eitherr go halves in the date fees, or pay for themselves. Making the guy pay is wrong. its sweet, but its wrong. they should be treated equally the same as girls. Maybe once they can pay, but then the girl has to pay on the next date.. thats what i think. and i think everyone should agree. GUYS stop paying for girls.. its nice but its not fair for you's.Adri x

i was reading the comments, and its true! dates dont exist anymore! a guy can ask a girl out and they can be "going out" without actually ever going a date! is that classified as going out? what happen to the romantic dinners? and picnics? and FUN dates! movies as a date is good... but all the time? no! go to the zoo, go to the city, ice skate, rollerblade, go to the park there are so many places you can go that arent the movies! Just make sure that the dates are organised so everything goes RIGHT! (: guys shouldnt always pay... 50/50 sounds right, considering girls n guys are equal now! :D

I think if you go on a date you should pay half each. I mean come on the girls allways say let the guy pay. But girls lets put our self in there shoes do u want to have to go on a date and worry about how much it will cost? No i didnt think so. Allthough im a girl i think the guy should not allways pay you should half it, But guys it would be nice if later in the relationship you paid for it at least once!! Sophii

you guys ever heard pf a little thing called femenism, i know it happened a long time ago but it seems like we've gone backward. i just read hlaf these posts and they are all saying suff about what the guy should do. last time i checked the girl was equally on parade. sure the guy should pay for first date if he asks girl out. but wat if the girl asks the guy out...

dates?? i dont think they even exist anymore. I mean you can now aparently be going out with someone and never actually go on a date with them or even go out. And personally I dont really like it if the guy pays all the time. But the person who does the asking out on the first so call date should pay. :)

My first date I went to the movies with my girl friend, i was eating pop corn, when I choked on the sead, gagging and coughing, my girl friend looked around at me, as she was doing that I coughed so hard everything in my mouth went into her face. What a night mare trying to explain to her what happened!!!!

maybe a double date but never go somewhere tackyor somewhere to flash cause then you might feel out of place withh all these old people and then there's these two teenagers hmmm. maybe tell your friend to call in the middle of the date incase you are really scared that it might be awkward

ive really gotta agree with louisa wi dont like the word date, as she said it puts pressure on you ide rather just hangout or catch upto be honest instead of going out for a big fancy dinner ide rather just go to a movie or stay home and watch movies on the tele. its just so much more relaxed and then u dnt really have to be bothered about who pays n stuff its just funner and easier

Seems like Datings gone down the drain."Will you go out with me" seems to be the best way to ask, but they never GO ANYWHERE.It's more along the lines of walk around, arms on shoulders.What happened to the 1980s style of saying something like "I want to be with you forever"? Bwahahahaha

Personally, i'd pay myself cos i'm a guy, cos its only courteous and gives a good impression to your date. Oh and what can mess up a date, her annoying friends or bad table mannersLOL

Whoever asked the other one out has to pay. I don't think it always has to be the guys job. If the girl invited the guy out, then she has to pay, or split the bill and vice versa.

It seems that any old person would like to pick up a girlfriend/boyfriend.It's a shame, because half of them don't seem to have the right "feelings" to have a certain person. I saw some people meet for the first time, end of the day they're dating.That girl got the boys name wrong, twice. It's a shame really. I like to take my time. I'm in no rush for a GF at the moment. Heh.

Never lick your knife, go halves in teh bill, meet there or be picked up (depending how you might want to end the night).A comfortable place, not too loud. In perth a great place is Wild Fig - casual, funky atmohspere, exceelent, fresh food, right on the beach and often have jazz playing. Bookings are essentail though!

i think dates are awesome, its the only time i can be myself and know i'm not being judged. anyways, choose a good fun place, somewhere comfortable for both of ya. i think, maybe its cos i'm a little old fashioned and cos my bloke's always done it, that the fella should pay, but ladies....make the effort to pull out your wallet and ask if they wanna go 50 50. be yourself, thats the best thing anyone can do, and remember to aknowledge the other person, if you dont show any interest, how can you possibly expect them to. also, be honest

dates are always great fun as long as you are comfortable with the person. i like movies and going out to little dinners that aren't expensive and nothing that brings a big expectation of someone, thats when it starts to get awkward. just enjoy the night and be yourself that way you both will have fun :)i hate boys that grafiti, smoke and do drugs, they drive me insane and neevr seem to treat you right.xxx

great idea's for dates are always simple... You shouldn't put pressure on it to be a big fancy thing... Its way more fun when you can hang out and be relaxed... I love bowling on a date, get some ice cream or watch a movie (always better at home... you cant muck around in the cinema), try to keep your dates varied and also nice to take turns in choosing what to do. Hope you have fun =) xoxoxo

i love dates! except when it goes bad. when you really have nothing to say to each other and you have to sit there in awkward silence. when the guy turns out to be a loser and just wants to surf all day and do nothing or when all he can talk about is his amazing penthouse suite and how great his and how much money he earns! uuurrgh!

to be honest i hate the word date, like its so much better if u just go and hang out, go do something that you both enjoy and make a day/ night out of it. as soon as you call something a date then suddenly there is all this pressure for it to be one thing or another. as for payment, personally i dnt think it matters, it depends a lot on the overall situation (if ur worried bout it gettin messy then just pay for urselves yeh?) well ive just found that doing something fun and not calling it a date just makes the whole event a lot less stressful and generally more successful :)peacexx
