Lets say your going out to eat dinner with a guy on a 'first date' and he paid for your dinner.

Remember, at this point, neither have said anything about anyone liking anyone. Just stepping out for a casual meal.

Anyways, if the guy paid for your dinner, how would that make you feel?
would you think its sweet or whatnot...
or would you be like "What the heck... why is he paying for me i dont even know him that well"

EDIT:
To clarify things a bit. I guess its not an explicitly labeled 'date'.

I asked if she wanted to hang out sometime, and today we decided to go out for dinner.
But we met not too long ago... so its not like we are good friends that have known each other for a long time.

I personally wouldn't think it's "weird."

I mean, it IS a first date, right? So it's not like OMG WTF!

I actually would be disappointed if it was a first date and he DIDN'T pay for my meal.

I agree, I wouldn't mind but if it happend on a reular basis it would begin to bother me but on the first date I thnk it would be very sweet of him =)

[sparkerly]

Haha i'd appreciate it :]

and think it was sweet.

If it's a 'date' with an unspken 'I'm interested in you' vibe, I expect the guy to pay for the meal.
I offer to go dutch, but I expect him to decline and pay for it.

To me, it's really insulting if it's a 'date' and he expects me to pay for my share.

But if the starting premise of the outing was one purely out of friendship, then I'm more than willing to pay my half.

Ok well. To clarify things a bit. I guess its not an explicitly labeled 'date'.

I asked if she wanted to hang out sometime, and today we decided to go out for dinner.

Girls ! just take it as a sweet person.

It's showing respect to the girls that he is a polite guy.

IMO, If you're not interested in her at all and only looking for platonic friendship, then going dutch is the way to go.

But if you are somewhat interested in her, then you should pay for the meal.

I wouldn't think anything of it. But I'd offer him to split the bill.

[Menda]

I went out for lunch with a new friend, and he paid.
Cause first off, he's employed, and he's very friendly
and outgoing so if I offer to go dutch it'll be like an insult
that I'm putting money between our friendship. Hahaha
but yah, it's sweet.

[rachilde]

If I were asked out, the assumption would be that he would pay for the meal. The only time the paying situation has been a problem is when I once asked someone to dinner as friends and, instead of splitting the bill (when the waitress comes and asks if we're ready for the bill, he went ahead and said together instead of separate before I could say anything), he picked up the entire bill--then he expected me to fall in love with him... Even when I paid for the entire meal the next time...

[GOOMBA]

I`d be expecting it, and I`d be dumping his ass if he didn`t. Any meal afterwards, I don`t mind paying. The first will always be on his card.

Sorry, I `m stereotypical. Sue me.

[missxsuong]

it wouldn't seem weird or anything
it'd be the gentleman thing to do wouldn't it?

[bitter SOOweet]

if its a date, then uh... yes he totally should pay for dinner.

if its not a date
well, its still a very mannerful thing to do.

[idiotsucks]

erm, I'll think that he is a gentleman and I'll probably insist I pay for myself. = ) unless, he insist too then I will just let it be. After all, this is girls' rights. Isnt it? It's guys' pleasure to be able to pay for the girl too

[°..a²]

isn't it normal?
even if the "feeling" thing isn't put out there yet, i'd still think it's normal that he paid first.
it's very sweet, just appreciate it.

[Shuga]

I think it would be very kind of him, too... but it depends on the expenses.

Once I went karaoke-ing with a group and I told him I would share the expenses, BUT he insisted on paying the WHOLE FEE. I mean... WHAT? I felt /really/ bad and I would have rather he kept to the aforementioned deal and let me pay part of it.

And for me, I consider $40+ expensive.

Edit: gee its not like i meant it inside joke i guess with a friend >.>

[Vino de Jerez]

I'll feel that he is a really really sweet guy, not just that, he is not a boy, he is a MAN. only a MAN foot the bill voluntarily.

I'll go out with a man like that again, its just what i expect from a MAN.

NEVER ALLOW THE LADY TO FOOT THE BILLS ON WHATEVER DATES.
