Never pay for sex!

No! I say when you are dating, a man should pay at first, but a woman should make an effort as well to secretly plan things so she can surprise the guy and then he would not have to worry about paying for whatever. If a woman were to tell a man that she wants to take him out, more than likely the man would offer to pay.

When a girl wants to split the bill, I consider it a good sign. You know she's not with you for the money, but with you for you. She could be buying her stuff somewhere else alone too.

If she wants to split it, I like saying "you can pay our next meal" or something like that. You are a gentlemen, but you still give her the opportunity to feel equal, and you're guaranteed a second date if she agrees.

A girl that never suggests to pay for anything is not the way to go in my opinion. Make her work to keep you in every way possible, don't let her take everything for granted, show her that there's 2 people in a relationship who both need to deliver their part.

That's my personal opinion.

Do everything as if there's no fucking way you can fail.

From the various books I've read there seems to be a few basic rules. In this case priority matters, 1>2 etc.

1. If she offers to pay never refuse the offer
2. If you invited her out and it's not an expensive meal (coffee), buy it. Let her know it's not a big deal and that your more interested in what she has to say, then the coffee. In a sense rewarding good behavior.
3. If you pay all the time get out of the habit, and say right before you take the bill that she is paying next time.

That seems like sound advise.

I pay about 60% of the time I'd say. When I do, it is usually for a nicer dinner where as she pays for drinks, happy hour, stuff like that.

But yeah, when she offers to pay I take her up on it, or sometimes suggest we split.

Paying every time? F that. This isn't 1950.
