These comments are funny, because I've paid for myself on dates before. And I've also picked up the entire check more times than I care to count. So all these men complaining about paying all the time are lying. And I'm not alone in this among my other women friends, so quit your wining about how much money is being kicked out. Over exaggeration at its finest! Most women will pay their half on a first date if they don't like you. Especially if they INSIST on it after you've finished eating. Take THAT as your red flag, let her pay her half and cut your losses.
