We girls need your help! When you ask a girl out, and it involves food (a meal, a snack, coffee, etc.), how should the "who pays?" question be handled? That can be a very awkward situation for a girl. I fully realize that there isn't one "right" answer, and that there are as many different answers are there are guys, but knowing how at least a few different guys view this would be very helpful! Some things to think about as you answer: Does it make a difference if it's the first meeting (as in, meeting someone in person that you met online), the first real date, or a date later in a relationship? Does it make a difference if it is a sit-down place or a fast-food place? Does it change if you have already planned to eat, as opposed to a more spur of the moment decision? Does the type of food/drink make a difference (for example, would you handle getting coffee differently than getting lunch or supper)? Post Reply

"After a generous rubdown with oil, we put on dinner clothes. We were taken into the next room where we found three couches drawn up and a table, very luxuriously laid out, awaiting us. We were invited to take our seats. Immediately, Egyptian slaves came in and poured ice water over our hands. The starters were served. On a large tray stood a donkey made of bronze. On its back were two baskets, one holding green olives, and the other black. On either side were dormice, dipped in honey and rolled in poppy seed. Nearby, on a silver grill, piping hot, lay small sausages. As for wine, we were fairly swimming in it." Post Reply
