Don't accept the date invite if you don't have enough extra cash to share?
You know, I am and comes from a very traditional method of thinking and I do appreciate the fact men are willing to pay and shoulder all. But having gone through experiences and seeing my two sons go through the same things as dating etc., my instinct as a mother has surfaced more than anything. I see the rigors my sons went through in working and saving for those times/gifts etc to show a single girl how truthful and honest their need to impart their attraction. It made me realize something. From boys to men, they do exercise careful planning and honestly save for those times. So why not share the burden?

Why not ask someone out on a date that doesn't cost anything? I mean honestly, why would you ask someone to do something that you can't afford? Dates don't have to cost money. You can go for a walk in the park together or go to a free show instead.
Saying "the man" or "the woman" excludes gay dating.
My 34 year old sister once took me out to a bar when I was 16 and made me pay for her food. I didn't order anything. Not a date but it's similar. The person taking someone out should pay.

i've never gone on a second date with anyone who's made me pay for anything on the first.
.... a bit old fashioned, but that's just my two cents
(but yes, if the chick is doing the asking, then she should be paying!)
