I read an article on men paying for dates and how they would like help but are afraid to ask...
I have to say, I had the opposite issue. I actively tried to convince the man I was dating that I could afford to cover some of our dating expenses. It took a really long time for him to accept an assist from me. (This even when he took a large cut in salary when business was slow) and his comment was telling- "Are you sure you won't hold this against me?"
Who are men dating that such a question comes up? If I have the ability to help out, I offer. Because I am eating too. I am watching the movie too. And right is right.
But even with my offering regularly, it was the rarest occasion that I was permitted to pick up the check. Occasionally I was allowed to leave a tip.
Mostly I was treated.
So "Thank You" to all the gentlemen who insist on paying, but please feel free to allow me to cover the check sometimes. It is only fair.
