Whether or not I take a second date really has nothing to do with whether he paid for the first. If he was weird about it, though, that might change my mind. When I say weird I mean being stingy or analytical or something. Honestly, and I mean honestly really. Whether or not I take a second date really has nothing to do with whether he paid for the first.

For example, I went on a blind date with a woman a couple years ago and after a little discussion, we both agreed that we should split the check. Now, when I have asked women out to dinner or a movie, I insisted on paying for everything. There are probably a number of other factors involved, but I probably can't think of any of them. In regards to Matt's comment above, just because the men you are referring to avoided paying for the first date, that doesn't necessarily mean that is the reason why they didn't get a second date.

Period. I've known men who have tried to avoid this -- or those who have fallen for the fake female move to the wallet -- and they've never gone on a second date. All the other dates are fair game, but barring unusual circumstances -- she asks him out under the condition that she pays, for example -- men ALWAYS pay the first time. (These rules are enforced and reinforced by women, by the way...) The dude pays for the first date. Period.
