Dating 101.

Times have changed. Cash is tight for a lot of people these days, but does that change the rules of dating?

Charlemagne, Wendy’s former radio co-host and friend to the show, hit the streets of New York City to ask women if the guy should still pay on a first date or if the rules have changed.

Check it out!


Tell Us: Do you think a guy should always pay on a first date or since times are tough, should you split the bill?

  1. I think that the man should pay for the tab on the first date and everyone there after. As a matter of fact a real man leaves the table and pays the bill without his date even seeing a bill at the table. It would leave a lasting impression on his date.

  2. I believe that whoever does the inviting should be prepared to pay.

  3. I think that that it doesn’t matter if the woman pays anyway(recession or not). Why not jst do it ladies and shut up about it…..

  4. HOW AOBUT ON FIRST DATE THE BROTHER PAYS AND SISTER LEAVES THE TIP?

  5. Wendy I feel if they can’t afford to take you out why are they tring to get with you anyway.

  6. Whoever asked who out should pay the bill..if the recession is affecting them then they shouldn’t be asking the other out.

  7. For the first date, I would expect the man to pay unless a woman offered. I have not been in such situation (and don’t expect to be) so I would not pay for a first date. I have paid or offered on special occasions which is fine but since I have traditional ways to a point, I really would love a man to take the lead and show me a pleasant evening out. After all, there is much to be learned in that initial experience.

  8. You told a woman that she has DUTIES. But you seem to think it is ok for a man to not have the duty of paying for a FIRST date! That is not manning up if a man believes it is not his duty or responsibility to treat a woman on a first date. Most men are taking women out to score any way, that was proven by the street journalist comment on “getting desert” after the first date! Sad comment. That’s a low class man to even expect someone to put-out for one meal when you barely know eachother. Nowadays, we really have some selfish men who are in it really for themselves. That’s kinda proven too, due to all the mothers raising kids alone. Resession or not most men do not have money nowadays! I recently learned that doing chores as a kid enstills a make-things-happen kinda attitude in oneself. As we all know, the average boy does no chores as a youth.

    Ps. men should have more than 1 job sometimes,(if they choose to date,marry)? The average woman has 2 jobs and 2 kids.

    Love your flat tommy and wigs- Thanks!

  9. It all depends….whoever asked to go, they should pay. Whenever a bill arrives, sometimes its nice to chip in although you are not obligated.

  10. If i was asked out on the date i wouldn’t pay. But if i asked him or we just mutally agreed to go out then i would pay. I wouldn’t offer to pay, i would just pick up the check when ever it gets put on table and actually pay the bill. Men aren’t as stupid as people believe them to be, if you offer they know that you are doing just that…offering, and they know that you dont really expect to pay.

  11. I firmly believe that a man should pay on the first date, and if there is a chance of another, I will definitely pay.

  12. It’s almost 2010 so no, the man doesn’t have to pay. If you’re going on a date ladies bring enough money to pay for your dinner and a taxi ride home (just in case!). If he offers to pay then great but don’t be upset if he doesn’t, after all it was YOUR meal. Now after a while if it becomes serious than you pay for some he pays for some. After all equality isn’t just for things that are convenient!

  13. A guy should pay for it, only if he ask the lady out on a date. If the date is neutral, then maybe they should go half.

  14. Im a gay man but feel like putting my two sense in lol. I think the guy should pay at least on the 1st date but after the 1st date if the couple becomes an official item. I.e. boyfriend and girlfriend they shouldn’t really mind you pays when they go out as long as they’re together lol

  15. For the first date go dutch

  16. I WILL NOT PAY. IF GUY HAVE NO MONEY, HE SHOULD NOT BE OUT LOOK FOR WOMAN.

  17. Thats the problem drop tradition and let him marry him or she will marry her…LOL

  18. How you doo’n!!! I think it really depends on who asks. If he asks me to dinner, He should pay. If I ask, I pay. Old School like if you will.
    However, I feel if we make a mutual decision to go, we can split the bill. Or maybe, if he pays for dinner, you pay for the movie or vise verse.

  19. Yes..he should if it’s convenient….Being a big strong man and all……
    If the woman makes more and she really likes the him…..We Pay
    If the woman make less he pays regardless….
    If we are testing him go dutch….see if he offers…..cause if he really likes her he will spend on it.. Gucci !

  20. I think the lady should pick up the tab just to make an empowering statement! Its almost 2010- forget tradition!
