The guy should pay for the date.If a woman asked me out I would still offer to pay.I had a woman cook me dinner at her house and when I called to confirm with her, I asked If there was anything she would like me to bring.After my wife started working which was 24 years into our marriage she payed for some of our dates.I think that was nice of her.

Oh my the first date when was that one wow ,, but for an answer, as a gentleman I would always pay unless the lady insists going dutch which is fine to, but I would always do the tiping, how ever one time a lady asked me out and she insisted on paying everything thats the way she does it if she asked the guy out i said ok.. I hope this helps....Your'e kinda right a guy would like a thank you after the date but anything else nope, if it weren't meant to be then nothing...But hopefully a nice time...

I am sure this won't win any points but what the hell
I have yet to be asked by a woman to go on a first date.
So I am the one who always aks.
I expect to pay. But if the woman is really not interested in me and makes decent money, the nice thing it to offer to pay her part of the bill. Because she is never going to see you again.
And face it, women control the dating world.
But prices are at an all time high. Dating is now a luxury for me and most people.
So I am not the kind that will pay for the entertainment indefinitely. After a reasonable time, the man and women should take turns treating.
We are in the 21st century and women have fought for equal right and pay.
With a lot of women earning more than men, it is only fair that people split the cost of dating-especially if they travel.
Now if you are rich as Bill Gates or you are dating a woman who is unemployed, that is a different situation.
Then person with the money should pay.

I am old-fashioned, and would think that the guy should pay for the first date, UNLESS, each agree to pay half...I think it depends on eachother's views on the situation.

Its not a question of who SHOULD pay but rather how nice it is when a man does pay...However Im ok with sharing expenses or each can pay their own way....But still its lovely when a gentleman pays...

I do think the gentleman should pay---my choice has been to go out for a few drinks and if there long enough i usually will pick up a round of drinks .

I think that letting a man pay implies interest. I am not saying that if a man pays you owe, what I am saying is that it would depend for me on what my intentions were. If I knew I was not interested I would not let him pay. I think you can tell pretty early on which direction the wind is blowing

I think if the man asks you out on a date, he should pay for it.
I stronly believe in schivalry, in MY world the guy ALWAYS pays the tab no matter if it's the first date or the 1,000th one!!!!!

Hmmm, touchy subject.
Even though I am educated, I make crap money and live paycheck to paycheck (sometimes to almost paycheck, lol), so it has been nice that the guys that have asked me out have picked up the tab. I genuinely liked every one of them, and maintained a friendship with more than one. I am currently in a LDR, (150 miles one way) and it's $60 in gas alone for me to go see him, so thankfully, he takes care of other things. When in a relationship, it's a partnership, so that aspect is something the two people should work out and share.

I think both should meet at a coffee shop and each pay for their own items. This way there are no obligation from either party. If there is chemistry then there will be another date. Otherwise, both parties can go their separate ways.
