Who Should Pay On The First Date, The Man Or Woman? by DyshApp: 4:13pm On Aug 07, 2023
After days or weeks of great conversation, you decide to take things to the next level by saying yes to a date.

You get there, and the conversation and drinks are flowing. No red flags so far. You are both vibing and already planning the second date. Life is great.

Then your server swings by with the bill, and awkward silence falls upon your previously chatty table. The mood changes as you stare at the cute guy, waiting for him to make a move to pick up the check, only for you to catch him also staring at you. You both sit for what feels like forever, waiting for someone to finally pick up the bill.

Back in the day, social norms dictated that "the man" pick up the tab. But times have changed a lot, with more women getting paid just as much as men and continuously fighting for equality. As a result, the question of who foots the bill on a first date has become a constant, thorny issue.

Nothing more to find out in your click bait. Whoever initiates a date should foot the bill.

Those people likes what you and your enemies don't like.

As a Nigerian woman that I am, I use to have vex money to pay my bills if the guy wan stain my white, and to transport myself back home😂.

I had this guy then who liked me a lot, he’s a civil defense officer. So anytime he’s around he comes home to pick me out because I'm an introvert. I liked the friendship a lot because he took me to so many places I’ve never been in my city. Though he had asked me out and I rejected him that we can just be friends, he accepted after so many denial. The friendship continued like that ooo. Micheal is a party rider c’mon. Every sat and Sundays are for owambe. He picks me from home and returns me back at evenings. While all this were going on, I didn’t lose my sense of taking vex money and ATM ooo.

So during the Covid-19 lockdown, Micheal who is a military personnel still attends home parties with his friends. So that fateful day the curfew had started like 4pm. Micheal came home to pick me as usual, my mom was scared but he told my mom to be rest assured, me too mumu told my mom nothing would happen shebi it’s Micheal. I made my mom see Micheal as my one and only true friend. Truly nothing happened because he is an officer, so we were always passing every checkpoints without issue. We got to the home party, oh God!!! like God wanted to punish me that day, Micheal was a bit tipsy and was telling me we weren’t going home that night that we both gonna be together. I thought it was a joke ooo. Micheal meant it. He said i should find my way home if I can’t sleep with him, knowing fully well that curfew had started, no bike, no cab, nothing to take me home, In fact I didn’t had a dime with me. That day I regretted knowing Micheal . I begged him like a god but he insisted on sleeping with me that night. For God so good I have one yeye uncle who begs me for money all the time he sees me😂 he’s a police officer. I called him and told him the mess I got myself in, immediately he drove down to pick me. That was how I escaped oooo. The following day Micheal called me and blamed his act on shayo😂😂😂😂 well I forgave him but never followed him out, gradually the friendship died.

Never lose your guard with any man. Men are ready to stain your white.

There's a popular saying that said men are the head of the house, head of any situation literarily.
So as the head and most times the ones that initiate the date, it's men that should pay. Including the tfare and take away for the lady.

Women are naturally designed to depend on men for provision while they give care, so it's not out of place for women to act their natural way. These generation men wants to turn everything against nature hence the reason we have high rate of divorce in recent times.

Just hear urself, thank God none of my sisters reason or talk like u. My both elder and younger sisters re all married and they cater for their families with their salaries too even though the man brings, my elder sister dated her husband for 5yrs and he was jobless in 4+yrs then. But she was working then, she rented his first house as man. But today they have 3boys, married for 13yrs now and her husband is an offshore worker with loads of cash, he doesn't joke with my sister at all. I have a few female friends and they don't reason like u, I hope no one takes u serious abeg. Better change
