How many of you reach for the check


Or at least pretend to reach for the check at the end of night


How often do you pick up the tab for a potential boo (or baby daddy for some), if at all

    I got way too much swag to let a girl pay for me in public, even if its not on a romatic level. Unless she's fat.

    BigNorm is hilarious!!!

    Anyhoo, I've never payed, attempted to or pretended to pay for a first date.

    A few dates down the line, I don't mind paying at all. I'll even get the tip. LOL

    So, if you pay for Dinner, she owes you something? Interesting. Is her debt based on what she had? Like if she had chicken fingers, she owes you a kiss, but if she had the lobster, she owes you head?

    I always come up out my pocket regardless of the scenario. That's just how I was raised, but once the shorty is my girl and we're official, well then she can pay once in a while and show me that im worth spending money on as oppose to gettin a free ride every time we go out. When my shorty takes me out it doesnt go unnoticed and its greatly appreciated, as it should be for all men.

    This is how my man is. He always makes a big deal when I take him out. I do it every month to show my appreciation and he always acts like its the frst time I've done it. its funny to me. hahahaI

    Smh @ you thinkin the internet is real, and that im some narcissistic scumbag that enjoys insulting posters intelligence while simultaneously gettin em all riled up and emotional. The truth is im the total opposite of what u read in my posts, the only thing is that I rather not share my life and thoughts on real life situations with avatars on an internet forum. I rather just act an ass, hence why most my post are in Donkey. A "legend" once said, never mix ur personal life with the internet and I agree with him, however I am more of me when I post in the G&S, for the most part, and also when I send out pm's to a selected few. But ya, dont take my posts at face value, im really a nice guy in RL.. sorry for the essay, but ur post hurt my feelings.. *sad face*

    ha.. Naw. Im just speakin in general..

    Some men think that a woman owes them some once they have spent any amount of money...

    I don’t mind payin on the 1st day...

    I just gave that example so that the 2 parties would be "clear" minded.. Because it will comedown to "dam, i done bought/paid for this, she need to give me something"

    I usually pay for the first date just because thats not the type of issue I want to raise on our first outing.
    After that If i feel like your mad selfish then I will just cut off any future attempts to hang out and find someone else.

    first dates I always pay in fact usually the first 4-5 dates I pay, but after that it bounces back. With my current girl I pay for dinner/lunch and when we go out to the movies about 70% of the time and my girl will pick up the tab the other 30%

    I'll keep it real, I've pretended to reach for the check. Never had to actually follow through with it though. But I don't ask men out so it's supposed to be on them anyway.

    I have no problem treating once in a while in a relationship.
