Paying For DATES?

GUCCI · Oct 18, 1999, 11:18 AM

Maybe im just old fashioned, But i think the guy should always pay. though sometimes its OK if the girl offers to leave the tip or pay for parking or something SMALL like that.
And I think thats what we call FAIR.

I think guys SHOULD always pick up the check.. for ME real MEN takes care of Women.

If it's a date, I think the guy should be the one to pay. But if you're together already, I think that you should share - sometimes the guy pays, sometimes the girl pays, sometimes KKB. JMHO.

that's true but if da girl was da one who asked for da date, den i think dat dey should pay half each.

Ira · Oct 18, 1999, 11:56 AM

Actually, depends on who asks for the date. Personally, I'd like to pay my way if I was asked out-- maybe not the whole date, but maybe dessert and coffee or what. That way, the girl doesn't feel she's indebted to the guy, and the guy doesn't feel he's stiffed.

CaRaMBa · Oct 18, 1999, 01:56 PM

Bonquita: I didn't think about that. =)
Yeah, if it was the girl who asked for the date then I guess that would be okay.

joe:

that was cute....
well as for my personal opinion if both of u r goin steady, specially when both are students, i guess it would be very considerate if u share ur bills, that is if the guy would let you cuz there are guys who wouldn't let girls pay. swerte mo non di ba!

JPB · Oct 19, 1999, 12:29 AM

well, i personally stick to this rule:
while courting, i pay. but when we're together, i still pay (most of the time).

sometimes it is her treat. sometimes dutch. but let us be realistic. unless your last name is Ayala, Soriano, or Cojuangco, you cannot realistically pay ALL the time (i'm talking about normal middle-class ppl. like me). i mean, i've been working in makati for 2 years na and money is hard to come by. so if the girl is REALLY UNDERSTANDING, she would understand that there are times when the guys cannot pay. balance lang. but of course, filipinos are ma-pride. so guys will end up paying most of everything anyway.

AngryBird · Oct 19, 1999, 01:38 AM

There shoudln't be some sort of "protocol" on who SHOULD pay. Kung sino ang may pera, at yung isa wala, siya magbayad! It doesn't matter if the guy is still courting the girl or if they're already going steady.

Best solution: share the bill. Not paying for everything doesn't make any male "less man".

tr|n|ty · Oct 19, 1999, 08:27 AM

in my humble opinion, guys should pay when they're just starting out. I may not be the most conservative person around, but i still like the feeling that i'm being treated like a lady. It's different na when ur officially together....kawawa naman the guy if he pays all the time lalo na you know that money is hard to come by or his folks doesn't give him a lot...i offer nah...nice ko noh? hehehe

anyways, i think it's more of the moment thing..or make like this time it's my treat..next time it's yours. simple

ChiQui · Oct 19, 1999, 01:42 PM

It makes a girl feel really special if the guy pays for the date. However, I also think that once in a while they either fo dutch or the guy should let the girl pay. Especially, if she was the one who asked the guy out. It's only fair, don't you think? Times are hard now and girls should also be able to understand the guys and let them save money for themselves din... for those trinkets for the car or whatever guys like buying for themselves... that way, we can also make them feel special.

wAgKaNgMaKuLiT · Oct 29, 1999, 06:53 PM

whoever ask should pay the tab, that'ld be fair. don't u think???

KATKAT · Oct 29, 1999, 11:12 PM

I believe whoever is capable of paying should pay for the bill. I mean whoever has money. Or better yet kung sino ang nagyaya.

greeneagle · Nov 15, 1999, 02:20 PM

peps, labas tayo ! first date naten, magmovie tayo tapos, magsecond date na agad tayo sa restaurant. i wont take it as an affront if u offer to pay

***Zen*** · Nov 16, 1999, 05:13 PM

Naka PePs, 1st date thousand bucks ang ipapabayad mo sa ka-date mo tapos Mang Jimmy's ibabayad mo? Parang... uhm... lol :P

***Zen*** · Nov 17, 1999, 02:53 PM

LOL :P

ross · Nov 17, 1999, 08:28 PM

where's mang jimmy's? and how do you become a member and not a junior member.
anyway i believe men pay all the time. of course there are exceptions. (i'm talking about when the couple are a couple already and no longer suitor and girl) for me it's either i pay or we stay in her house or just talk while strolling or...ummm...sipping sprite while walking
