Ok, I need to at least see the menu so I know what I want to eat! Would he at least describe the food in great detail for you before ordering?Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021751664110443351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596605274648651955.post-1571176126726978872010-10-12T13:34:14.242-07:002010-10-12T13:34:14.242-07:00It happened to me all the time when I was in Italy...It happened to me all the time when I was in Italy with my boyfriend.

If I ask someone out, then I pay. But if I get asked out, they pay. After a while though, I think it should settle into a 50/50 type arrangement.<br /><br />A menu without prices would make me so nervous! I'd be scared of having a lovely meal and then getting a monstrous bill that was way more than expected! :)annelisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758397701111620142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596605274648651955.post-66890183551508692522010-10-11T14:40:01.513-07:002010-10-11T14:40:01.513-07:00You guys look adorable, and the food looks amazing...You guys look adorable, and the food looks amazing! YUM!<br /><br />I have to admit to hating the whole men-pay thing, and have always been very insistent on splitting costs on dates. This is not to say my boy doesn't sometimes pay the full tab as a gift -- he does. But I do the same for him when the occasion seems right :-) <br /><br />I would be pissed about getting a menu without prices, but I wouldn't hold it against them too much. In my experience, servers usually give the bill to my boy when we are together, and it's just a more subtle expression of the same societal norms.dethbakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318654894712515156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596605274648651955.post-64141991022982806512010-10-11T14:29:26.492-07:002010-10-11T14:29:26.492-07:00Thanks so much for everyone's input, I think i...Thanks so much for everyone's input, I think it's an interesting discussion! I don't think I've ever been on a first date in which the guy has paid for everything. <br />Nowadays I get treated all the time by the boy, lucky me. <br /><br />@Chic 'n Cheap: They were so yummy. The caramel one was melt in your mouth good. <br /><br />@buhdoop: Ha! <br /><br />@Maggie: Interesting, this I did not know.
