My guy *usually* insists on paying for everything. I've never asked him to take me out to overly expensive places though out of respect because I know he'll want to pay. I almost always offer to pitch in towards whatever we do and he usually says no. Also, if we're going to dinner, he encourages me to get whatever I want, but I usually try to make it equal or cheaper than his meal unless I'm really craving something else.

As far as driving goes (I'm still in school 3 hours away from where he lives) usually he drives here to visit. If he does I try to chip in on gas if I can afford it.

There have always been times in our relationship where I take HIM out to dinner/on a date & let him order the most expensive thing on the menu if he wants. :) Men like to be spoiled every now and then too.

In this economy though, he's had some problems finding a good job since graduation, so we've been splitting things more often. If we go to the movies, he gets the tickets, I get the snacks, or this past weekend, he bought our pizza for our movie night & I bought us ice cream afterwards. He still usually feels guilty about me paying for things.

I'm going to throw this out, re computer dating.

Obviously if you met on a dating site, you were both interested in dating someone and the interest is mutual. Also, this is a person you really don't know in real life and really have no idea what his true intentions are. Therefore, the check should be SPLIT.

DAMN. :eek: If a guy tried doing that to me I'd drop him like a hot potato.

She should bill him for the sex. :p
