You ask, you pay.0

Well if I asked I'd expect to pay.
But
I wouldn't expect to have to ask forever.0 -
Yes, whoever asks, pays
It would be rude not to

I think it is a seriously outdated view that men should be expected to pay for a first date nowadays. We (women) can't expect to be equal in every other area of life and then expect not to get our purses out when we go on a date.
Why assuming it is expected? It's not because you accept something and are grateful for it that you expect it. My friends often invite each other for meals rather than going half. I find that both inviting others and being invited is a nice feeling that makes you feel good.
My OH pay for our first date, yet almost 5 years later, about to be married, we have separate accounts and are both independent. We still 'invite' each other for dinner and it is lovely. We don't keep track of who pays for what, he has probably paid for a few more meals, but then I spend more on him for his birthday and Christmas presents.
Although I never expected a date to pay everything for me, it is a nice sign of that person generosity and to me, that already set a nice tone for the future.0 -
Girls out for a free ride left right and centre. It's 50/50 and if the girl gives any resistance she's a user.0
