Who should pay on the first date?
I'm in college and I've gone out with a couple of girls over the past few months on first dates and typically I take them to a restaurant like Applebees or something that's nice but not too expensive - usually about $30-$40 bill. No matter how the date goes, there is always the awkward moment when the bill comes and she pulls out her purse and asks "how much do I owe" or something similar. I never know how to handle this because I assume that since I asked her out, I should pay. So... what do you do in this situation when the woman offers to pay? I can't tell if she'll think I'm arrogant and/or "trying to buy her" if I don't let her... or is she just testing me to see if I'm cheap...
