"As a gentleman I would never expect the lady to pay, whatever the night was to bring. I find chivalry is dead on many. Such a pain being nice lol ![]() Just to be clear - are you talking about a first date or ALL dates? So if you start regularly dating someone you will continue to always pay for everything, whatever the situation? If so I wouldn't necessarily call that chivalry. I'd call that exploitation. If you mean just the first few dates then I agree with you and I also like to pay for the initial date. But if and when we start going steady there's a limit to how far my generosity can extend! | |||

"As a gentleman, if I were to go on a date I'd of course choose the restaurant, the wine and the best food available I can get a groupon for. There is absolutely no way I'd expect a woman to drive herself to the place, if I'm going by bus so can she. The advantage of a groupon in this situation (and I'm sure you ladies can see the romance in this), is that actually when the bill comes, even if she refuses to pay the whole thing, you've both saved money." Also if you order a third meal, but get it to take away, you can have it tomorrow, but you still split the bill 50-50 and you'll be quids in ![]() | |||

"As a gentleman I would never expect the lady to pay, whatever the night was to bring. I find chivalry is dead on many. Such a pain being nice lol ![]() ![]() Good for you and if it makes you happy so be it. You said in your original post that chivalry is dead on many. I respectfully disagree with you that not paying for every date and not absorbing 100% of all costs over time with a regular date is un-chivalrous. On this I think we will need to agree to disagree. I believe chivalry is alive and well and not demonstrated by the depth of a wallet. | |||

"Surely we should be doing the 50 50 thing . All being equal ? I'm sure when women finally get equal pay we might do. Might be some years yet though ![]() Lots of women earn as much as men, where I work 4 out of 5 of my colleagues wives earn more than they do. It's not like we earn minimum wage either, they will be comfortably above the national average | |||

If we went somewhere on the Taste list then me 'paying' my 'share' was always a funny negotiation. One friend would always refuse me contributing cash to the bill and he always called the card the (insert real name) discount. | |||

" It's not about my wallet or ability to pay, I think it's more about doing the right thing " So do you think that any guy who doesn't pay all of the costs all of the time is un-chivalrous? I'm not trying to he deliberately argumentative, just intrigued by your opening statement that "chivalry is dead on many". Does chivalry mean paying for everything in perpetuity? What if the lady feels uncomfortable with this and wants to pay her own way for once? Would you feel less of a man? As I say not being deliberately cantankerous just curious as to the reasoning behind you thinking its 'doing the right thing' to always pay for everything. Some ladies might find that patronising wouldn't they? | |||

"There are those women who don't want to pay and never offer, that says a lot about them. There are those women who insist on paying their way and refuse any compromise on that principal, that also says a bit about them. There are those women who genuinely want to pay their way, sincerely offer to do so but then concede in a conscious attempt to allow you to massage your male ego whilst taking it as a compliment." I always offer to pay and graciously accept however if it's more than one date I'm a believer in treating the man to a meal...it doesn't even have to be in a restaurant but cooking a man a meal and often or not that task doesn't come cheap in terms shopping for it ![]() | |||
