To pay or not

[yatagan]

Hey guys,
I know there's a ton of threads about this already. My question however is, how do you bring it up? I usually offer to pay for the first round and she should pay for the next one, but I never feel 100% secure doing that. I'm interested in how you guys do it, and especially Chase if he's still on these boards. Thanks

I do the opposite. I tell her get the first drink and I’ll get the rest.

I never buy girls I just met a drink lol. Maybe I would if she did something very nice for me.

With girlfriends I pay roughly half the time. Girls I date tend to want to pay for me all the time, even if they're worse off than I am. I reward this with extra affection, but insist on paying half the time because I want to.

(for reference, I am in college)
