Who is supposed to send a text after the first date–guy or girl?

@Stefanie, My brother’s 31, I’m 25. He’s been in a relationship for 2 years now and he says he still doesnt let his gf pay (sometimes she insists on splitting or paying for lunches), but when they go for dinners he usually pays for the cheque even before the bill arrives.

Options2, you’re right, coffee/drinks is better for a first date, maybe i’ll stick with that from now on even if the guy insists on doing dinner.

Okay so, cheque arrives, and from now on i should absolutely say nothing? Regardless of how much the bill is? Like with the first guy, the drinks bill came out to like $40 … and the dinner bill for the second guy it was $85 (but that’s cuz of the bottle of wine he ordered)…. i would prefer going to cheaper places for the first date, but both these times it was the guy who picked out the restaurant/bar and I chose the least expensive entree.

You sit there and give him a nice smile while he pays and then say a very big thank you. Sets the tone for the whole relationship. You feel like a lady and he gets to feel like a gentleman. Wonderfully old fashioned.

Would you ask him if he wants you to share the cost of your engagement ring???? Would it even occur to you? Of course not! Then you are worth a nice meal out!!!
