Comments on: Should you always split the bill? http://www.kellyseal.com/?p=376 Sharing stories and advice on dating and relationships Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:35:03 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: admin http://www.kellyseal.com/?p=376&cpage=1#comment-185 admin Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:22:48 +0000 http://www.kellyseal.com/?p=376#comment-185 Thanks everyone! Tina...Liked the video blog! It is a gray area once you start dating. One of my boyfriends insisted we split everything and that got a little old. Miss Alpha...thank you for Gram's advice. They always know best. Fishy---seriously, I've had guys tell me this. I guess they were being cheeky. OOTG - Yeah, the car guy was a little embarrassing. That was when I first moved to L.A. and he seemed so art-y that I overlooked the whole homeless thing. My bad. Thanks everyone!

That's how I was brought up and I think it's right. Some things should stay old fashioned in my mind. However, I always appreciated when the woman I was dating offered to pay. It showed she was aware, thoughtful and not a gold digger. And if the relationship continued, then absolutely some sort of splitting the costs arrangement was worked out. Nothing written in stone, but like I said,an awareness that things cost money. But be on the lookout for the controlling guy who expects something in return for always paying. Bad!! Bad!!! You'll know. As far as the guy living in his car, hmm.....that's a stretch, unless it was John Coltrane or something. Guys should pay at least at first.

Funniest line ever. Seriously, if a man says he's offended he's lying. <a href="http://plentymorefishoutofwater.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">*Plentymorefishoutofwater - One Man's Dating Diary*</a> Haha – “what if I offer to pay and he’s offended”.

We just did a video blog on "Who Should Pay for a Date?" and the consensus was that for that first date whoever asks should pay. Of course after a few dates you need to start sharing the expense and that can get tricky. I love the story about the guy who was living out of his car. I'm sure he was a nice guy, but you made the right decision. Hey Kelly,
