I found this article on who should pay on the first date, and I have to admit, I totally agree. Maybe I've get myself into some tight binds because what I considered a date, the guy didn't, or I didn't ask the guy in a way that made him feel like it was his idea, but seriously folks, whose wearing the pants in this relationship? I agree, (and while I don't like using the term) it is sexy when the guy steps up to the plate. Just because I am independent doesn't mean I don't want a guy to take care of things.
Maybe I think about it as a sign of how things are going to be. Am I going to be the one in charge, or is he? PS. I want it to be him.

"The guy pays to show that the food/movie/miniature golf was completely beside the point and that his real pleasure has come from the opportunity to spend time with his date."
I definitly agree. I don't think a guy should have to pay, but if he wants to make a good impression he will, and if he doesn't make a good impression on the first date then ....
I also figured if he didn't pay then he just wasn't that into me. Which always sucks, but at least I know.
If the guys you're dating are confused about if they should pay or other manly things I suggest you send them here http://artofmanliness.com/ it's just something I've been looking at recently. What kind of schmo doesn't at least try to pay for the date though? I know a lot of gals these days like going dutch but maybe I'm just old fashioned.
You NEVER want him to be in charge - you only want him to THINK he's in charge. A smart women pulls the strings - all the while making him believe he's the boss. I asked Danny out on our first date - and his Dad ended up paying because he forgot his wallet - how's that for taking charge?
