Who should pay on a first date and why? #dating

It's Saturday night, and who knows when you'll listen to this, but I was thinking about my own journey through dating over the years, and I just have a question. Who should pay on a first date and why? Who should pay on a first date and why? I've seen a lot of answers over time. Oh, it should be dead. Oh, you guys should just do something free. Oh, go to coffee. Go sit at a coffee house

There have been few dates in which ive paid, opened my car door, or opened the door period. The times I lowered my standards, I wished I had not.

My answer to this interesting question.

In my experience, the man should pay on the first date. It makes a woman feel secure about his ability to provide for her in case things get serious later on. Also, it's an element of chivalry. Chivalry isn't dead. Society has shifted its values. A lady will let a man provide. She was meant to be complimentary to him. She was not meant to replace him. In the case of friends having lunch, I think it's fine to split the bill

That was so good. Thank you. Chivalry isn't dead, and yet it feels like we're just all in an egalitarian society where everybody is just taking care of everything on their own. And no, you don't need to open the door. No, you know, I can pay for my own stuff. There seems to be that shift in culture. But I like what you said, putting your best foot forward. The man should put the best foot forward
