    I’ve never discussed who will pay before a date in my life

    Either this person in incredibly tactless or this is some kind of incel meme shitpost.

    Either way, whomever is passing it around seems to have a bone to pick.

    It wouldn’t even cross my mind as something a woman would assume a date was expected to do.

    Idk, really depends on the dynamic between them all. If they’re broke college kids and he’s an older person with a stable job and surplus cash? If he’s picking the restaurant to impress her, knowing she can’t afford it? If he already offered up thread in order to entice her out?

    But that makes the “date” feel more like a Sugar Baby relationship than a proper date. Also might explain why she feels the need to bring a friend.

      Yeah, I have never had any desire to date a woman I had to pay for everything to impress. I am happy to pay if I know their financial situation is sketchy, but I would offer that. I don’t do sugar daddy shit. I prefer women with better motives in dating.
