Dating : First time meeting a girl, should I pay?
Meeting with a girl I met on social media for lunch tomorrow. Just a casual chipotle style restaurant nothing fancy. We’re obviously meeting in order to get to know each other better, so I feel like it’s a “date” but it’s also my first time meeting her so I don’t want to send too strong of a message if she’s wanting it to be more casual. I’m sorry if this is common knowledge, but I got out of a long relationship a while ago and kinda forgot about all the nuances of the beginning of the dating process.
PS: I’m probably overthinking this, just very nervous about it!
There’s no harm in offering, most women will appreciate it. If they insist on splitting, let it happen.
Yes. It’s still polite.
Split on the first date.
From my outside perspective, the whole thing sounds fairly casual. If meeting for lunch was your idea then I think offering to pay makes a lot of sense. If it was more of a mutual idea then I would lean towards just paying for your own meal. Honestly, I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer on this. Sometimes you kind of just have to feel out the situation and go with your gut. Good luck.
Yes.
Just pay and save yourself the headache.
Try to pay, and if she insists on splitting it then split it.
GOOD DATE: I decide to pay. If she insist to split, I agree.
BAD DATE: SEPARATE CHECK, PLEASE.
Whoever asks, pays.
Personally i go by feelings, if the girl is a well educated and polite person i always offer. If i feel like she’s the type of girl that sucks money from people i split.
