No question.<br /> But I had him over to my place after his long work day ALL the time in which I would order-in or cook. So, were even:)<br /> I'm a sahw now so obviously he pays for everything and we're on a joint bank account anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-222876 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:40:13 +0000 littlebug 222876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs usually paid just because that's the way he was raised, plus he made more money than me. I usually offered, though, and he'd let me if things were tight for him. Usually if I paid it was that I was taking him out for something, though, like his birthday or a celebration of some sort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-222311 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:57:27 +0000 Mrsbells 222311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we took turns. He always wanted to pay but I would insist on paying sometimes too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-222297 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:49:36 +0000 oliviaoblivia 222297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He paid most of the time but I paid for groceries when I cooked for him. He always had more money than I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-222263 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:38:28 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 222263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He paid for most of our dates, but I paid for a few too. When we traveled I paid for my own plane ticket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-222246 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:28:24 +0000 Alivoo01 222246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the hubby paid for a majority of the dates, but I paid for the very first one (and maybe a few ones after that too. ha!). For trips, we each paid for our own expenses and split what was shared (e.g. hotel). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-222035 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 22:04:23 +0000 mrskc 222035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He paid for everything. He had his career started when we met and I was still in college. I was broke! He was such a sweetie paying for everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-222005 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:28:43 +0000 mediagirl 222005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He paid for dates. We paid for our own travel expenses when we traveled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221994 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:11:38 +0000 prettylizy 221994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would alternate paying up until we moved in together and joined our finances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221988 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 20:46:23 +0000 eeh 221988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He always paid. We're both pretty old fashioned like that. He lived 45 minutes away from me and I did most of the commuting because of his work schedule so he even paid for a lot of my gas. When I was there I did a lot of cooking but he always paid for the groceries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221975 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 20:15:11 +0000 mrsjyw 221975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH paid for most dates and I paid for groceries when I'd cook him dinner :) He paid for wknd getaways, and one time when we went to Denver for my friend's wedding, he paid his plane ticket too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221973 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 20:13:03 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 221973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He paid, which made up for how much my grocery bill went up when he came for meals nearly every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221957 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:23:11 +0000 Smurfette 221957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We split them. If we went on a trip, he would pay for flights and I would get the hotel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221956 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:22:52 +0000 cyndistar3 221956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For how young we both are, DH is incredibly old fashioned and almost never let me pay for anything ever! Even now, he is the one who has a job so he still pays for everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221953 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:14:11 +0000 MamaMoose 221953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met in college so there weren't many fancy dates. But he paid for most of them. Although on our first real nice date night he forgot his wallet! He was mortified!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221949 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:10:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 221949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took turns actually. I didn't want him to have to pay for all of them and I was making more $$ than him at the time (he was in school). He probably paid for more dinner dates, but I paid for more big ticket items (plane tickets, broadway shows etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221948 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:08:18 +0000 autumnlove 221948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: crazy lovebirds! ;-) love your story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221947 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:07:31 +0000 chopsuey 221947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I only knew each other for 2 months and spent 4 days together before we got married! He paid for the few dates we went on. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-paid-for-dates#post-221945 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 19:04:15 +0000 autumnlove 221945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you were dating your SO, who paid for dates? We always took turns paying but he definitely grabbed more tabs. We did pay for own plane tickets for a vacation to Boston early in our relationship. It was just easier to take turns paying instead of splitting checks/going Dutch for dates! </p>
