  A lot of women consider it a deal breaker to this day

    I call those women… never. Had a girl turn up with a friend, everyone paid for their own drinks. And this was in the early 00s.

    My current fiance said she almost didn’t want to go on a second date with me because I wanted to go Dutch on our first date. She still tells me to this day that I’m lucky I was cute.

  If i invite someone out to dinner I pay. If someone invites me out to dinner I expect them to pay. However, I think in general in the US most men and women expect the man to pay.

  This is an outdated expectation, although it could also be considered respectful on a date.

  I’ve heard that in restaurants in the USA you often give your credit card and they scan it and return it because they don’t have portable terminals. I’ve also heard that it’s often returned to the man regardless of name on card / who gave it. Both of these seem very outdated.

    Smart servers just put the check and the card between the people if it’s not obvious who’s paying. I’m a great test case for this because my spouse and I both happen to have first names that could belong to a man or a woman.
    It’s pretty much random which one of us pays because we pool our money anyway.

    Often the drop the bill in the little book and we stick the card in the end of it and put it back on the end of the table, they come by, run the card and then come back….

    you can see the fear in their eyes sometimes, like “oh shit. This could be either one of them… 50/50 chance I annoy the one who’s writing the tip”.

    We’ve both worked service industry so we don’t care at all and tip well either way but it’s pretty funny to see the realization sometimes.

  If it were the girl shouldn’t have any choice.

  Now they have things called rights and stuff
