90% of Women wouldn't go on a second date if the man didn't pick up the tab on the first date.

Ladies does this apply to you?

Fella's do you always pick up the tab on the first date?

How do you feel about this?

On the first date, yes I think the guy should. If there is a 2nd date and/or more, then it depends on the situation of each person. I dated a guy for awhile, and I sometimes offered to pay when we did something, which he allowed me to. Then it seemed that he expected it even more, he even claimed to have forgotten his wallet once when we went on a day trip. I wasn't impressed. The relationship didn't work out.

Nah. I never assume a guy is going to pay, especially on the first date.

I fall in the 90%tile.

To those ladies who really wouldn't go out on a second date with someone based on them not picking up the entire bill, why? It makes no sense to me.

Humm he did not say they would pick up half the tab he said if they did not pick up the tab. Therefore your getting stuck with the whole thing...

Now I don't mind paying for my part but don't assume I'm paying for all of it. For I always offer to pay my half.....So if they don't offer to pitch in most likely it will be the last date..

This...but I'd add that if I ask a guy out...I expect to pay. But if a guy asks me out, I expect him to pay. I always offer to pay either the next time or pick up the tab if we do something else that night

I just read it as if he didn't pick up the whole tab.

I'm of the old school and only date men my age..if he ask me out, I expect him to pick up the tab..If I ask him, I expect to pay..If it's a group thing or something that we want to do just as friends..I expect to pay my part of anything that we do.

Hey now....I'm old school too but I prefer the term...vintage

If the man asks me out then I expect him to pick up the tab however- since im kind of jaded- i wont order anything that I dont have enough money with me to pay for if the guy turns out to be a complete A**! I dont like anyone to think that I "owe" them. And YES! that has happened.

Ditto...I'm the same way if I ask you out I plan on paying... just don't expect it all the time lmao...

I guess I'm the odd one out, then. I always offer to pay. I think it's the polite thing to do and would feel very weird not doing so.

Not so odd..I just came back from Dinner with my son and ex daughter in law..I offered to pay, at least my part. They said no, it was their treat and each split the bill. We had gone shopping before dinner. They have bought one of those huge RV's together and was stocking it. They each paid for half of the items they bought. So I guess it's not uncommon for people to pay their own way. But like I say..I'm from the old school as far as dating goes, and in my generation, the one who asks the other out, is the one that pays.

I am also in the 90%!

I like to go dutch on a first date, that way if it doesn't work out, nobodys out anything...

I always go prepared to pay especially if I asked them out. I don't expect anything but hope for good company. If she really feels the need, I will try to dissuade her but not force the issue.

This is my view only.
Why the heck is he asking me out on a date if he doesn't intend to pay for it?!
I don't invite someone out and expect them to pay..after all, I asked. This does not mean I do not want to pay..it simply means that if you ask then you are inviting..so pay.
Works the other way too. If I ask..then I pay.

I always pick up the tab. This dutch thing befuddles me.

This topic has come up a few times, and as such it has got me thinking. So my last few dates I have waited for the time of the bill. When it arrives I get out a coin. To be fair I show the coin to my date so she can see that I'm not the cheating type (this takes care of the cheating topic as well), then flip the coin to see who is paying. Last weekend I went out with one who I feel is a bit more aggressive than usual, so after discussing this with her to get her approval we ended up flipping each other for the bill. I must admit her legs were in far better shape than I anticipated and I ended up on my back while paying the bill. We plan on going out again this coming up weekend where I'm going to approach her on the possibility of arm wrestling.

Boy, this paying on the first date sure is a tough one.
