When you go out on a date to a restaurant and then the bill comes: isn't it awkward? I hate it! I'm a girl and usually the guy pays, in my case the guy has always paid for me and I kinda expect him too.... (unless I knew they really didn't have a lot of money but the guys I dated always had a good job and stuff. I'm the poor student with no income) But I always go like "ah no.... let's split! blablabla"... but eventually he pays.

I just really dislike that part of a date. How do you react when it's time to pay?

hmm
iv been out for a meal with my boyfriend only a few times, he usually pays but for example last weekend or whenever,we went and split a pizza etc and ipayed for half as it was quite alot...even though i only ate like 2 slices and he had the rest im not really bothered though,as long as it isnt a regular thing.
another thing i find is gonig to the cinima, you dont know if hes going to pay etc... but he usually says if he isnt.

yea. but that's like your boyfriend. I think at that point it's fine to split stuff...

but if it's like a first date ( or even a third) it's still kinda weird when the check gets there...
I always put on this whole skit of "I'll pay half" but I pretty much already know they're gonna pay any way... Maybe it's because of the kind of guys I've dated.

Phew. When I read the thread title, I thought 'the check' was referring to an HIV test.

If it's a guy I don't really like and just went out for the free dinner, I have no problem letting him pay.

If it's a boy I really like and we're on our 1/2/3rd date I kind of get uncomfortable and tell him that I should pay my share, but they always end up paying for it anyway.

If it's the boyfriend, he always pays. Unless I tell him it's on me before we go out. But I'm old fashioned and would let him pay.
