Dating Tip 2 – Who Should Cover The Cost Of The Bill?
Given the nature of dating; that you both are new to each other and therefore don't know much about each other, there are certain grey areas that will arise. There will be situations in which it may not be clear what the proper protocol or action should be. In those cases, it may be best to be honest and to talk it over with the date.
One of those uncertain areas may be who pays for the cost of the date. In bygone days when society was more chauvinistic, and when men had a clear and far superior role in the working world, there was no question that the cost of a date would be paid for by the male partner.
But times have changed, even though they may not totally enjoy equality in all aspects. Nevertheless women are just as dominant as men in the workforce and they also have jobs that pay well.
Despite that, in most situations there is still the expectation that, especially for the first date, the man will take care of the bill. If the woman insists on also paying, then the suggestion can be made that she pay an incidental cost such as the tip, parking etc. Following the first date or the first few dates, the woman can then cover the cost if she so chooses.
