If you're out to dinner, you pay for what you ordered. If you're paying for a hotel room or a mini vacation, split it evenly.

If you're both men, split   

Neither. It's 2025. Grow up and pay for your own food.

 

Half (regardless what each ordered), or whoever asked the other out

Split the bill or pay for what you ordered. The concept of buying a meal for a total stranger is bizarre to me. Tbh I never get dinner on a first date, usually just a bar and in that case I/we usually take it in turns to buy rounds.

how neither of you gonna pay? 

The top 

 

bottoms are at risk of prolapse, so the top

The "who pays" discourse is so boring. No shade to OP. It's long been discussed to death & for some reason, always will continue to rear its ugly head. But the notion that money is a grand gesture 1 way or another is so soulless. Culturally, we all hear more about when the cheque came than anything else & it's so depressing. Where's the romance? I'd rather cook dinner with somebody else than have them buy me a fancy meal

Either the top or who asked first 

Whoever asked. But I will say, some of my fondest dates have been done with basically no money spent. How about we wait to be spending money at all until we've met once and the vibe appears to be good! 

Your date's husband 

Whoever invited. Cant believe some of yall are old enough to f*k but not to have common courtesy 🤦‍♂️

the person who has money 

The restaurant.

Lately I've been doing cooking dates, I pay for the groceries and he cooks while I drink wine

 

 

 

Split it obviously why is this a question

Nobody. Why would we pay?

Personally I always pay if I ask the person out. And try to split if I was asked out or to pay outright depending on the circumstances. Either way I don't like to focus too much on this issue, it ruins the vibe. 

 

The primary reason why this became such an issue in modern society is because food prices are outrageous and people are simply aren't earning enough to dine out without taking a financial hit. In the not so distant past taking someone out cost pennies even to ordinary people. It was never something to dwell over.
