And you ...This is one of my favorite dating topics. And you gave great advice! Women today want to be equal. But dating is not about equality. The game is an old one where most men want to feel in charge. It's part of the "wooing process. To not let him pay risks emasculation - not a good thing on a first or second date. (or any time actually) <br /><br />If he doesn't offer pay, that's your first tip on his level of generosity. <br /><br />As women, of course we will contribute and pay for things as the relationship progresses. But no need to rush it or you risk giving a man the wrong impression -as you said Terry - that you are not interested.Ronnie Ann Ryan - The Dating Coachhttp://www.after40datingtips.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9378354.post-48299036077944436262009-07-08T03:32:04.431-04:002009-07-08T03:32:04.431-04:00I am so glad to read your advice on this issue. Yo...I am so glad to read your advice on this issue. You are absolutely right. When I was in college, I was really independent and feminist, and I remember practically arm-wrestling one of my dates for the check. And then I wonder why it didn't last. Men actually want to pay for dates. I really wish I hadn't gotten all caught up in the whole "we must be equal." Men DO, on average, make more money than women. Glad you pointed this out.Evehttp://freeadviceforwomen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9378354.post-30076165870963109432009-07-01T10:54:14.318-04:002009-07-01T10:54:14.318-04:00My rule is...I offer once, he can accept gracefull...My rule is...I offer once, he can accept gracefully, or refuse gracefully. I don't push after that. He's a man. He's fully capable of making the decision of whether or not he wants to pay. I'm fully capable of letting him make that decision.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445558988316054957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9378354.post-85362247804310583212009-06-29T19:48:02.267-04:002009-06-29T19:48:02.267-04:00Dear Terry,
