Would you go on a second date with a guy who makes you pay half of the bill?

Question

If a guy invites you to go to a restaurant then he orders more than you, and then when the bill comes he looks at it and before even you to say something he ask you to pay half of it, what would you do?And would you go out on a second date with him?

Answer 1

lol..h**l no!!!!

Answer 2

TACKY.

I always pick up the first date check, second and third too.

Maybe then if she offers.

Answer 3

OMG! not that big of deal.. if he wanted you to pay half.. then.. maybe he isnt made of money.. or maybe that's how he grew up.. Now.. if he continues to do it after dating for awhile.. i would talk to him.. say it doesn't make you feel worth it.. or as wanted when you are supplying some of the money. Of course if you had fun otherwise.. why bring it up.. it doesn't matter about money if you really like him. Maybe he was just seeing how you'd react.. trying to feel the kind of person you are.. of course... hopefully you did pay! I don't think it's that big of deal.. when my fiance and i first started dating.. we would go out to eat.. and he would always pay.. but if we went to the movies or anything like that.. he would pay to get in.. and i would pay for snacks.. then.. he would feel bad for letting me pay at all.. and always buy drinks.. so it ended up.. i payed for some stuff anyway! don't worry about it..! if it's meant to be.. it's meant to be!! Loves!

Answer 4

I'd call a friend for a ride home and refuse to pay for half. I'd never date him again. If he invited me he should pay.

Answer 5

He def. wouldnt get a 2nd date and since he invited me I wouldnt pay for any of it. I would have walked out of the restuarant

Answer 6

I have always picked up the tab on a date.  

To ask your date to pay for half is totally unacceptable.  It is the gentlemanly thing to do, even if she insists on paying even a portion.

Answer 7

Run.. dont walk, but run to get away from him.  If he is that inconsiderate to begin with then it wont get any better.  He could have asked you to go dutch if money was an issue, which is in poor taste, but to have you half the bill which is clearly paying for his part....NO WAY.  

let the mooch pay his own way.

Answer 8

Pay for what I ordered & never talk to him again

Answer 9

I'm a girl and I always offer to pay for the bill.  When he insists on paying, I insist on picking up the tab for the drinks or leaving the tip.  It usually works out well.

But, if he asked me to pay for half the bill - no way would I bother with him again.  It's not a matter of you paying half - it's a matter of him being so rude.  You'd think if he cared enough, he would have been able to pay for all of it.

Has he asked you out again yet?  Sounds to me like he doesn't want a second date or he would have picked up the whole tab.

Dump him.

Answer 10

Whoever does the asking does the paying. If he couldn't afford that restaurant then he should  have chosen a  less expensive one. I would go out with him again, but this time I would do the asking and pay the whole bill.  If there was a third date and he did the asking  and  wanted me to pay half then that would be the last date. As one other answerer suggested, maybe that's the way he was raised and he just needs a little "instruction". If on the other hand he's just cheap  then he would be history as far as I'm concerned.

Answer 11

well generally guys are somewhat confused when it comes to paying bc there are so many different outcomes.  If he cam right out and said it in a serious tone, hes probablly a player and has many f besides you.  so drop him.  i know this bc i do it.

Answer 12

Guy perspective.When I was dating I'd get pushed around my some women.They wanna pay 1/2.or just for there meal.This pissed me off and confused me.If hes been through this type of ringer this may offer some explanation.Whipped by feminism.Beyond the issue presented do you like him?

If so tell him how you expect to be treated and what a date means.by doing so you will have done him a great favor.

Answer 13

He might just be testing your reaction...If he knew you were online talking about, well then you failed his test...I guess you wished you had a calculator or should he have payed the entire bill? If you had fun on the date, offer to pay the whole bill next time.  Then see what he does on the third date...

Answer 14

I would definately not go out with this guy again.  The guy is supposed to pay the whole bill on the first date.  How can he even tell you to pay half of the bill when he ate more?

Answer 15

Our first date, I totally came prepared to pay for my share of the bill and tip.  He would not hear of it and paid for the whole thing.  That made me nervous, thinking he was expecting something in return, ya know?  



In your case, I'd give him the brush off if he asks you out again saying "I guess I just can't afford your eating habits.  Bye."

Answer 16

Personally, no, I wouldn't.  I think that in the early stages of dating, whoever asks the person out, should pay for the date.

Answer 17

That's only half the story.

Next time you pay all.

RUN don't WALK.

Answer 18

I would look at the check figure out how much I owe and pay that amount.  

if it was a real date the kind where he asked you out  he is suppose to pay the whole tab  

no I would not try a second date you might get stuck with the whole tab

Answer 19

I'd pay the half of the bill, and then never date him again, because couples who split everything down the middle always end up splitting up.

Answer 20

no u shouldn't since he asked you out he should have offered to pay for it all. The down the middle thing only works if he offers to pay all but you insist on spliting done the middle.

Answer 21

Heck no!  He's CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

Answer 22

Most of the guys I went out with expected that I would pay my fair share, but this guy sounds like a jerk.  Did you like him otherwise?  If so do something free or something where you can just pay for yourself (bowling or something) before he can make you pay for his lobster.  If he would have talked to you about it first that would have been much better.  If he's a jerk in other ways you should be glad you found out so soon.

Answer 23

A gentemen pays the bill period!

Answer 24

yeah i would.

and on the second date i would order an expensive drinks and an expensive meal.

then when the bill comes shuffle through your purse and claim to have forgotten your wallet.

tell him your really sorry as he pays for the whole thing =)
