Im raised old fashion and dont mind breaking the routine, but how do i get a girl to pay for her own meal and so on. Going on a date tonight, gonna window shop, get some dinner and probably go to a hookah lounge.

How do i set up that she is going to pay without looking cheap or like an ass?
Ive never tried before, and want to give it a shot.

The best way to get someone to pay for you is to control the fram of everything. So set the frame early. I have a GF and the way that i do it is everytime we go out to eat its normally when she asks me to go with her. Like always the server is going to give the guy the check because thats how everyone has been programed to think. What i do when the check shows up is i just sit their and look at her. Since i control the frame and she knows that i didnt take her out to eat she normally just pays. I only pay for her if i ask her to go out to eat with me because thats what i wanted to do and it wasnt mutual thats how i look at paying for stuff.

Alright, well i am taking this girl out to eat this time. Should i just balls up and pay?

well it depends on how you phrased your question about going out to eat and stuff. If you called her up and asked her if she wanted to go out to eat or something some time then its going to look like a date and if you set the meeting up like that then ur probably going to end up feeling like you need to pay. The best way to go about first or second dates is to just say "I've really been having a craving for ice-cream/mexican food or whatever, you should come with me/come with me the next time i go" thats how i do it. Its not set up as a date but rather ur going out to eat regardless if she comes or not so its just a mutual hangout eventhough its really ur first meeting or second. But if u asked her to go out to eat with u tongight or go to some reastraunt then I would pay this one time but only for one thing, preferably whatever is ur idea to do, the huka or dinner.
