I am not saying that it is completely wrong. However, a guy shouldn’t feel pressured to do so just because that is what is ‘expected’ of them according to society. If two people are on a date, they can easily pay for their own meals. Especially if one individual has ordered something entirely different price-wise than the other person. We have seen some women taking advantage of the fact that it is the first date and thus ordering the most expensive item on the menu just because they know their ‘partner’ will pay for them.
That is exactly what this woman did as well. She ordered lobster and wine while her date went for pasta and beer. As you can imagine, the total for both of them was vastly different, thus the guy told her that they should both pay for their own meals. She obviously didn’t take this like he had expected and went off the handle when he invited her for another date.

This is why I make first dates at a low-key bar. I am comfortable paying for myself, but if my date insists to pay, Hell yeah, why not? Takes a bit of pressure off that whole situation. That way, you’re not stuck paying $$ for a shitty date. I’m a girl by the way. –AreYouHighClairee
If it’s a “date” then I’ll offer to pay (presuming it’s a date with someone I’m romantically interested in, not someone I just wanna bang) purely because I’m the one “asking them out”
But generally 2nd date onwards it’s been a 50/50 split, even had a couple of women offer to pay in return.
When you go out to eat, you order something reasonable? Jeez. What an a**hat for saying you’re gay because you’re reasonable. –desert-lightning
