It's true. Met him in Feb. By April he stopped by every night at work for a hug. We chatted and he asked me out several times I was just not sure I ever wanted to date ever again. But he was sweet and we kept on seeing each other 3 or 4 times a week. So by
Middle august I went for coffee and by middle September he got his first smmoooch from the ginger.
Poor guy is totally infected with gingervites.

:D

Paying on a date, or paying for dates? Your title is somewhat misleading :p

Anyway I can't say that I've been faced with the same problem - after 2.5 years of dating and 0.5 years of being engaged, we still argue over wanting to pick up the bill :D

Is paying for "dates" legal in SA now? Wow, things sure have changed since I left.

Ja, ok maybe you're hotter than I'll believe without pics. But then again gingervitis can hit hard. Did he see you in a school girl outfit or something? You do realise you can never say no to anal if he ever asks now? 8 months!
 
For me this is also an awkward part to a date. Firstly I don't like relying on anybody and prefer to pay my own way. But I'm with Niccia on this, if he doesn't offer it says alot about his character and also how the evening went.

Hugs!? Bwahaha was he a p*ssy?
As I said I would've been gone long before!
 
It's just never occurred to me not to pay, 1st date or 50th.

I do not find it strange though 8 months is nothing. I wasted years on an idiot. Had to make sure I did not do it again.

True gentlemen still exist.

I dont agree with letting the guy pay for the few first dates - just to see if he can afford me. In the first place, I would go on a date with someone that looks like a hobo, so there I already know he would be able to afford things. If I go on a date and he is a jerk, Ill make him pay - as I didnt enjoy my time - why should I pay. On the other hand, If its a nice guy Id offer to pay. However, if on the first date I offer to pay, and he accepts, Ill run to the hills because Im not going to date a penny pincher. I firmly believe that it shows a guys character, If I offer to pay, and he said no, he will take care of it, it shows some potential :)

Why do men think this?

Well not all men think this but you do get a lot of guys that feel that good manors is a sign of not being macho and afraid their friends will tease them - thats OK if your gay and your into your buddies, but its about impressing the date thats suppose to count. I also find that good manors helps to create order like who should enter the narrow door way first, etc

Oh! I thought it was my bra burning grandma's fault! :p
I sometimes think because I'm an equal at work (techie) they do not have to treat me like a woman on other levels. Men want to be treated like real men until it is what you ecxpect from them.( generalizing here I know, but you get my drift. I know not all men are like this)

How do you treat a man like a real man? Or, how do men expect to be treated like real men?

Treating your fellow workers as equal is very important but good manors is still required. I still open doors for the ladies, wait first for them and help to carry heavy stuff. Non of the ladies complain about it but neither are they weak of character or scarred to stand their "man".

Showing ladies respect in the work place is the same as respect for your peers - and the same applies to your date. Respect her and respect her parents by showing good manors and the best part is it costs nothing & makes a big impression.
