Ultimately, I think the person who does the asking should pay on the first date and choose your activity based on how much you can spend. A first date does not have to be in a 5 star restaurant. Get coffee and take a walk!
I've been married for 35 years and don't plan to be dating, but I think, in general, the one who does the inviting should expect to pay. However, I think that the first date (and several thereafter) should be inexpensive: an afternoon walk and ice cream, coffee at the art museum, an outing to a street fair and a beer, a free concert in the park and a bottle of wine, that sort of thing. These are conducive to individual paying without embarrassment. If the invitation goes like this: "I have two tickets to the basketball game, would you like to come," then the asker bears the cost of the tickets, and the askee should spring for drinks or snacks. The manner of the invitation can help clarify expectations: "Would you be my guest for X. Would you like to go to X, my treat."
I'm definitely old school. I think the man should pay on the first date. There is something about being courted that really makes me feel great as a woman. It's a dying trend. I might even take out my card to split it just so he can tell me to put it away.
They will let you rent a car with the fee upfront and a 250 money order. Did it many times, before I recieved a credit card. You also dont want to have your debit card on file at a rental car company, if you total the car there goes the account, if its a credit account, they have a much harder time getting the money. Most cards also have conditions of insurance when paying with the card. Watch CLARK HOWARD, he'll let you know.
Organic also is about he planet and worker safety.. If you care at all about honey bees, not to mention the health of farm workers and the communities where citrus is grown, you would be buying organic citrus: lemons, oranges and grapefruit.
Actually, I think going with USAA is a mistake in this category. The 9.9% APR counts for nothing with a high annual fee no flexibility to reduce your deposit and credit limit, not potential for growth by CLI (without deposit), product conversion, or reward perks.
And for the record it does cost you a hard inquiry.
Only true regret out of all my credit card applications.
I think it's customary for the guy to pay on the first few dates unless the girl insists on going dutch treat. Both should be willing to compromise on occasion. But, in general, I believe that it's good for the guy to pay.
I think the man should pay-- if he's interested enough to ask you out, he should be willing to show that by a willingness to pay for you. To me it's a sign of things to come-- a good man will take care of his wife.
in my experienced, it is not always work on first date - I used to ask when the bill comes do we have to split? at least I show him that i also ready to pay and it wont be one side expense if we both are enjoyed the moment and the food that we had
but mostly the man who i'm dating with if he invited me to go the place that he likes the most or be one of his favorite, He will cover all expenses for both - but sometime it is kind of cute if we do a little fight to insist who pay first - at least as a women we look like ability to take care of our finance well enough.
I also think the guy should pay on the first date, as long as he's the one who asked her out.
My first date with my husband was a little different since I had invited him to dinner as a thank you for helping me with a computer issue. When I paid, then I turned to him and said, "Now you owe me lunch". I guess it worked since we ended up getting married seven months later.

Whoever did the asking should pay for the date. That person can plan where to go/eat and then will know what his or her budget should be for the date.
I think whoever invited the other out should pay.

You ask, you pay.

There are ways to get into USAA without military affiliation these days, if you really want to put yourself through that.

OMG! I totes love my garlic press. Who says zesters are a waste? I mean, seriously...

I think guys should pick up the tab.
I think each person should pair their own way.
The one who asked
Split bill.

I think that whoever asked the other person out, should pay, whether it was the man or the woman.

The one who invites you on a date should pay.
I also think the guy should pay on the first date, as long as he's the one who asked her out.

I guess I'm old-fashioned, but I think the guy should still pay for the first date. I know it may be outdated, but I think it just feels right.
If you ask me out, you can pay. I'm fine with splitting the check though!
It should be half and half, or whoever asks the person out can pay. It really doesn't matter!
Depends on where the date takes you. I prefer to go Dutch but if someone invites me to a very expensive place and says they will pay, I let them pay.
