Do you pay for stuff on the first date?

Ok i know this may sound like a bit of a stupid question but just say you meet up with a girl at the cinema, is it expected of you to pay for her ticket, drinks, popcorn etc? I have no problem paying for it even though ive no real source of income at the moment as im a student but have times changed? Do you pay for your own shit? Keep in mind this isnt your girlfriend..first date.

    Well I've only ever "dated" one girl, but we didn't actually go on anything that most people would term a date lol. But she typically paid for everything because I had no sources of income and no money. I felt pretty damn bad about it though. I'm just that way, that I would want to pay. There are people who don't though, and it's a more common thing now. Like I say though, if chivalry is dead, it's women that killed it.

    Yeah, why not? I think you are expected to pay and going to the movies is a lot cheaper than going to a restaurant.
    She might offer to pay for her stuff, you say no, you look like a decent guy. Everyone's happy.
    Nothing wrong with paying. If you don't pay for everything she might think you are a cheapskate even if you are not. Each girl is different.

    Depends. If i'm the one asking her out I pay for the ticket. If she's asking me... ill pay for my own ticket only

    Of course! First impressions are permanent ingrained.

    Well i've been on many dates and most of the times they didn't let me pay for it although i made my move. Everytime there is this flirty arguement of who's gonna pay. To tell you the truth everytime i payed on first date, were the times i hooked up with those dates. But this happened by chance, i don't think it had anything to do with my treat.

    you ALWAYS have to try to pay, but if she says to split, do so...dont have the"no no no i pay i pay" argument is an awkward as fuck moment and she will notice some lack of confidence...always try to pay, if she refuses, do as she says

    I do pay for the first date, unless, she was completely shallow, had no respect for the waiters, or talked bad about them behind their back, complaining through the date. That happens a lot. I suppose I'm not considered the most polite person..

    I would, and I would continue to IF I thought she would make a good girlfriend.

    It's just seems like the right thing to do.

    My girlfriend hates it though but she can't stop me, I'm faster at getting my wallet.

    depends on what you consider the first date. The girl should know its a date, and she should know that you arent just trying to be friends. If both those prerequisites are met, then yeah you should pay, if you dont pay its not even a date.

    I'm always about splitting it. If we're grabbing dinner and doing something else, one person pays for each, or if you're just doing on thing, pay for yourself. I think it makes it less awkward

    If you asked you pay. If she asked don't put out until she buys dinner (you don't want her thinking you're too easy!)

    I kind of expect it, but it's not a big deal either if the guy can't afford it. Being honest about things like that matters more to me.
