People!!!! If a guy asks a girl out he IS paying. After the 1st date you can play it by ear. Valet parking, seriously, I don't go places like that on a first date, I like to get to know a person before all that. Texting, its ok to check but only respond if its an emergency. Treating someone special doesn't mean treating them like they are your world, you just have to treat them with respect and courtesy and for the girl like she is beautiful (don't check out other girls) and for guys like he is manly enough to handle thing, pay the bill and drive (even if he is not driving) and don't check out other guys!

I totally agree with the texting on a date. Or even if it's you and a good friend just spending time together. It makes you feel like they would rather be some where else instead of with you. same goes if you are steady dating, living together or married it's even worse in those situations it makes us feel unwanted. And don't tell us awww your just insecure because were not, you are totally putting someone else above us and if you don't realize this you need help.

Out of all the tips on this page..everyone (just about) is commenting on the same thing...paying the bill. Its sad that that's what everyone thinks about now days...money. Well anyways... I agree with the Cell phone tip. Sometimes my boyfriend ( who Ive been with for 8 years now ) and I take his mother out to dinner and vice versa and she ALWAYS seems to end up in a 10 minute conversation with someone on her phone... and not only does she spend her should be eating time, talking, she talks loudly so everyone in the restaurant can hear. From my experience with that situation, I can tell you its terribly annoying and extremely embarrassing.

If a man ask you out he is supposed to pay for the entire evening out , tip , parking whatever because you are his guest.Until both of you have decided to begin a relationship the man is expected to be a gentleman and pay the woman's way. Relationships are 50/50 dating is to prove yourself worthy of someones' romantic attention. Its a competition and you want to be chosen. We have forgotten how to "court" as my mom used to call it, and how to be courted.Unless you just want to get laid or just socializing be prepared to dig in your pocket guys. Ladies let him pay a take it easy til you know you really want him.

As per "ditch the dutch" consider a friendly neighborhood walk up order kind of restaurant, maybe one we've seen featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. She'll be impressed, you'll be out $20, and you'll both know for sure if a second date is in order. Save the pricey places for special occasions after knowing for sure.
