Never stop girls from being generous with you. In fact, encourage it. The best IOIs out there is when girls want to do nice things for you or buy things for you. When they want to do so (being generous with you), it simply means they are horny for you.

I think everything went well though, so no worries especially when you have sexually escalated properly.

Here are my two essential rules on texting that will save you tons of time and money:

general-questions/topic137931.html

What's wrong in paying on the first day?At least offer to do that and insist on doing that,unless she really doesnt let you...Paying 20-30 euros instead of 10-15 euros to have a great time with a new person is really worth it.Women really value it,no one likes to hang around with a Scrooge's descendant !

all depends on where you are/her age/culture etc

IMO there is no set rule on this. If I go on a date with a girl, I go there with the expectation of having to pay, and expect her to at least offer to get the first drink/meal.

Girls who just sit there and look at you expectantly, piss me off and won't get a 2nd date from me.

That being said, girls are told to not pay, if the guy asks them out.

Good question. Maybe it is a culture thing, I don't know, but I've never really had a problem with this. I have always paid, and have often had women in turn, offer to pay for movie tickets or whatnot.

The only time I feel it was a problem was when I over-did it. I took this one girl out that I had met when we were both working lowly jobs, but I was getting income by other means and had some money set aside for fun while in college. I took her to kind of a fancy spot in downtown which was way out of our budget if I had relied on my income from work. This was one of those dates you see in movies, because I pulled out all the stops for her. We made out that night, but when I tried to follow up, she wasn't as responsive, so no second date. For all I know, she might have met another guy, but I sort of feel like I put too much pressure on her. Almost like if the next date, I was going to pop out an engagement ring. But more than likely, she may have felt I was trying way too hard to impress her, even though it really didn't put a dent in my wallet.

I feel the same. I think guys are expected to pay (I live in canada) because most of the time they are the one asking the other out. That being said. I don't want to pay 50$ on a first date for a girl I might never see again. What I do is that for 1st and possible 2nd date I try to find things that are free or not expensive (e.g. I like to go ice skating because it costs max 10$ to rent skates). In this case, I can see if there is potential without investing too much money on a girl. Another example would be a coffee date. How much is it going to hurt your finance If you pay for a 2$ coffee? Just pay for it.

Key thing to remember -> Things should feel normal. Don't make it awkward by not paying a goddam 2$ coffee. On the other hand, don't insist on paying stuff if a girl is going to pay because it just looks like you are trying hard.
