My Question of the Day: The dynamics of dating have changed so much that there doesn’t seem to be a “norm” anymore. With that in mind, think about this: a woman invites a man on date. Who should be responsible for the finances during the outing?
My 2 Cents: There’s no question about it. The person doing the inviting should expect to pay. If the man feels compelled to pay, then I wouldn’t protest too much. I would, however, expect that the finances are on me, since I did the inviting.
I asked this question because I invited a guy to lunch who helped me with a difficult project, and I added, “I’ll even pay.”
He then said, “Oh, I couldn’t let you pay.”
I asked him, “Why not?”
He said, “I’m a traditional guy. I couldn’t allow a woman to pay my way.”
I thought that was an interesting response. Hence, the question.

Please note that I will be picking winners for the months in 2011 that have not been done yet. I've gotten behind, but I'm a woman of my word.
Beginning, 01 January 2012, there will only be one winner per month, and that one winner will receive a $30 Amazon gift card.
For the months in 2011 that still need winners, there will still be two, $20 gift card winners. The change will take effect starting 01 January 2012.
See details.
