As a woman I always genuinely offer to split but I will say it’s nice when they pay, like it leaves a better impression.

it depends on who asked who out. If you ask a person out, you should pay. Then it should alternate after that

whoever asked the other person out should pay. if it’s somewhere particularly fancy with a dress code, then i lean towards the man paying SOLELY BECAUSE it literally costs more for women to get ready for that kind of date

Whoever asked the other out should pay. If she asked him out, she pays. If he asked her out, he pays.

If he asked her out, he should at least be willing to pay If she asks him out and he still doesnt pay idk why she would stick around with a guy that is going to make her carry the relationship emotionally and logistically/financially In any normal scenario, he should always pay
