A gentleman knows the price of restaurant should he decide to take ... to his choice of location, thus the gentleman would normally discuss the menu choices with you giving his knowledge of the restaurant, perhaps mentioning his favorite dish.

Now ... its different if your 18 and going out with poor university student, then you should indeed ask .. what are you going to have ? then let your choice match up pretty closely or be less in cost if you suspect he does not have 200 dollars to spend for goodnight kiss on the cheek.

A man who when taking dinner probes to hard becuase you choose a salad and appetizer is just bit inexperieneced at being confident with you as date, there are times in fact when the man should lead you to particular choice when he knows you love seafood and even if its the chefs special meal and very pricey he may well want you to have it to show his desire to satisfy one of your cravings that night.

I personally have fav restuarant .. they happen to serve gnocci which I like and dont make at home, its always a low priced menu item... I will often select it .. but tell my guest the reason why i choose it ... guiding her to understand I choose that menu item not on price by choice of its pleasure for me.

Call me old fashioned but sometimes knowing the ladys food favs I will order for her and ask if she willing to have the item i suggest.... normally it works out well especially when know the chef is going to produce a great meal out of the kitchen, and that is why we go to dinner is it not ?

Message: If a man invites me out and expects me to pay for my meal or both meals I will, but it will be the last date.


How often do you ask men out to dinner ?

How often do you ask a female friend to dinner and pick up tab ?

I will generally offer within 2-3 dates to take him out and treat him to a nice steak. It's all about being kind to each other.


What after 3 dates?

Why not make the second date your treat if he treated you first? And just alternate.

Its more about the man ebign kinder.

I guarantee you men plan and ask for more dates (on the town and dinners he cooked).

I have a date friday night with another potential sugardaddy. My last one moved out of state. Who is paying for dinner? What kind of question is that? HE IS PAYING
I will have the lobster, if the gentlemen is good and generous, I will give him the catfish later.

Hoooray for golddiggers

What if you like the guy though? and he uses you for sex and leaves you on the curb.. or at 42 you don't think you want to meet someone for maybe something serious?

I have given up on serious dating, been there, been hurt too many times. Now I just date for fun. Had a great date yesterday, dinner and shopping, spent 800 of his money in an hour.
There are no men my age that are serious or if they are they have too many kids or ex wives.


I have also become an empty vesical and feel like plastic most of the time. I am incapable of human emotions any more. I just feel nothing for anyone and my best friend is cash

If it's a dinner date and I'm happy with our choice of restaurants, I already have a good idea what the menu and price is so I why would anyone in this situation give the cost a second thought.... Again, qpsweetheart is right... I like when a woman suggests she contributes but it's not an offer I'd ever accept. But it's cute when they ask..

OK...guess I'm just too darn old and old fashioned. If I ask a lady out on a date I expect to pay. If she offers to pay or go "dutch" that's nice and sweet but I'm still going to try and figure out a way to pick up the tab. To me that's the gentlemanly thing to do.

If she wants just an appetizer or a salad that's fine. If she wants a full blown seven course dinner that includes lobster, bone in tenderloin and king crab legs, that’s fine too. A dinner or any other kind of date should be something to be looked forward too and hopefully enjoyed, not something that makes you rack your brain worrying about protocol, who pays for what, can I afford it, etc. Go out and have fun! There are plenty of things to worry about in this world instead of this trivial stuff.

Of course that's just my humble opinion.

I always ask the gentleman if it is casual or formal attire when ever I go out on a date. I never ask what place or Restaurant or what night club we are going. When ordering food and wine usually my date and me discuss what is the best specialty on that particular restaurant. In my life I 've been taken to a high class places and not too classy places like Taco bell, food on the street like Ribs cook off ,or hot dogs. What I showed to all my dates is I am fun,gracious,and a good company......

There's this great scene in a movie from the 70's It's either Monty Python or Gene Wilder.....either way..

The scene is this guy in his 40's and he's with a gorgeous woman in her 20's...

The waiter comes to the table and asks for their order... I won't try and remember the exact order but it went something like 'I'll have the lobster and with that I want a dry French white wine, with that I'd like to see the Phesant under glass and of course I'll need a dry red Merlot for that....and she goes on to order a couple more complete meals in themselves with a wine to go with it.
When the waiter leaves the table the guy is sitting stone faced in disbelief....He says to the girl.....Sweetie, do you eat this well at home? To which she replied "No, but at home no one wants to Fcuk me....
