<<< Who should pay on the first date - part 4
honesty is the best policy
However, in the interests of any date, most woman should choose to pay at least half even if there is an offer to pay the whole bill by the other person.
This leaves a good overall impression where both persons credibility is preserved.
Another point to note is that if you have gone on several dates and dinner is being provided for by only one of the individuals, it can be a sign that there is interest in the relationship from the person footing the bill.
It is important not to give off signals like this as this can lead to problems later.
The correct approach to make sure that this doesn’t happen is to pay your portion of the bill which clearly sends a strong signal that you wish to remain as mutual friends and nothing more.
Friendship is as valuable as an intimate relationship and mature adults will pick up on this.
There are times when some people have the incredible belief that their ‘presence’ alone is sufficient to warrant an act of kindness on your part.
These people are often the most manipulative when it comes to money.
