Dating has changed a lot in the past few years, and I’m not traditional about other things, but prefer when a guy initiates, pays on dates, etc.

What is the correct protocol these days as a woman?

If he plans a date, do we offer to pitch in for the bill?

When is the appropriate time to invite him in, second date or third?

Can never get these things right!

It’s an interesting question.

On one hand, he may truly believe in gender equality and expect you to pay for half. On the other hand, he may be onboard with your expectation of old-fashioned chivalry.

I suppose the real question is - are you selectively old-fashioned only when it’s financially in your favor?

Point being, open communication about this stuff goes a long way…

M1, maybe where your expectations lie.

I think this depends on the type of person you initiate the date with. I initiated a lunch date last Thursday night with a man for last Friday, he picked up the tab. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As men, it's in our nature to provide and protect. Usually. Personally it would be difficult for me to ask a lady out then ask her to, or accept her offer to split the check or whatever. If I asked her out it was with the intention of paying for dinner, drinks, babysitter whatever. a lady shouldn't be out anything when she's on a date.
Yes there's the equality crap and all that. "are you too much of a man's man to accept help from a female?" No, that's not the case. It's just not how I was raised.

In my opinion one of the worse things you could hear from someone when you are dating is ‘I usually don’t talk to someone like you’. It makes it seem like you are just settling for that person.

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.
