i know back than the guys naturally pay for the girls meal, movie tickets, and such. nowadays it seems like couples split the bill in half, which is ideal yea. when i go out with my boyfriend, i seem to pay for more things. i pay for more meals, i pay for his movie ticket sometimes, and i pay for our dessert. i just take the bill and pay it, assuming the guy would say its ok i got..but not even. sometimes he says ok ive got it, but if i say nono, it's fine..he goes ok. UHHHH guys, when u say oh it's okay i got it..are u just trying to be nice? and who usually pays nowadays?

My boyfriend usually pays. I don't always have money or cash though. If I do I'll pay for mine. And when he's broke I buy him food etc.

Me and my fiance usually halve it. Or we take turns, like if we go to the movies, one will pay for tickets and the other pays for candy bar.

Taking the bill and offering to pay it because you want HIM to pay it is pretty passive-aggressive of you, and many people would simply assume you really did want to pay it. I suggest you try to be a little more direct with your boyfriend, and discuss who pays.

I would pay for myself. I don't need a guy to buy me stuff when I can do it on my own.

my guy and i worked out a deal.. whoever picked the restaurant or the activity gets to pay.. that way we usually end up taking turns treating each other and neither of us feels bad about always paying or always not paying..

im a guy and i do pay for first dates and special occasion and for some meals/ entertainment but not everything. girls want equality and if they want to go out to eat i think they can at least pay for their own. there is nothing wrong with it at all. my one friend (who is a girl) thinks its absolutely ridiculous that women still want to be paid for all the time. i think the majority of the relationship should be split 60-40 with the guy paying for 60% just for old times sake. plus i always love my girl so why not foot the bill more often

I am old fashioned so I usually let my boyfriend pay.  However, I was with someone who didn't follow that same etiquette and expected me to pay, which I did for a while and then I got fed up with it.
