A question for guys. Will you feel awkward when or if your date decided or offered to pick up the dinner tab?
I would say, 95% of the time I will feel awkward. No, make it 100% of the times. Not to mention embarrassed. Especially if we are on the first few dates- the getting to know phases. It’s probably the testosterone thing, or the male ego at work here. But I would feel awkward.
How do you overcome it?
I think the most gracious way would be to just let her pay, thank her and make her promise to let you pay the next time around. After all, isn’t feminism sexy? If it will make you feel better, perhaps it is okay to protest (or pretend to protest) once and suggest that maybe the bill be shared. But if she still insists, let her pay
I personally think, it would be much more embarrassing if we keep on arguing and coming up with lame “you shouldn’t” or “please, let me” or “it’s not proper” or whatever else.
It takes a real gentleman to be able to enjoy dinner paid for by a girl, yes?

(Guys) Will you let your date pay for dinner? (Girls) Will you opt to pay for dinner?
I think it is only natural that the guys feel uncomfortable when the girl wants to pay. Maybe our ancestoral instict of the hunter/food provider is still there in our DNA map. LOL

I liked your hub. When my fiance and I first started dating he felt uncomfortable when I wanted to pay for things, but he shouldn't have. I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to pay.
