Personal ad gripe. Who should pay? Him or her? He's not worthy if he doesn't pay?

Figure it out.

Hahahaha thanks Nupe. I'm feeling you on this.

I'm still down with going dutch and I wouldn't just hit it the first night.

I'm old fashioned. As we date, I believe in taking care of one another, but on a first date? Uh, uh...he'd better pay for me or there won't be a 2nd date. I don't expect him to wine and dine me at an expensive restaurant on the first date, but I expect him to behave like a gentleman.

Why is that dumb? No offense, but if some girl told me I better pay for her or no 2nd date, I'd call some ol' bullshit on that. I'd just move on to another girl if that were the case. There are more of yall than there are of us. Plenty of fish in the sea to worry about the demands of just one.
