If you view a date not as an opportunity to have a good time, but as a chance to create a harmonious relationship, you should reconsider your attitude to some aspects.
One of them is paying the bill on a date.
The tradition of a man paying for a woman goes back to the past, to a time when a woman simply did not have the money to pay for herself.
Back then, women either did not work at all or received tiny pay for their work.
Their careers were limited to waiting for marriage, but even after the ring appeared on their finger, they had no personal money – it was assumed that the man would support the family.
Nowadays, women work on an equal basis with the stronger sex, which means that they can pay their own expenses.
Therefore, a man paying the bill is more of a voluntary gesture of attention than an obligation.
Moreover, you shouldn’t demand that your companion pay the bill if this is one of your first meetings.
First dates are more about getting to know each other than about courting.
However, each person may have their own opinion on this matter. If you are sure that your chosen one should pay all expenses from the moment of your first meeting, this is your right.
And you can only be glad if you find a partner with similar beliefs.
If you haven’t come across anyone like that yet, it doesn’t mean that life brings you into contact with bad people – you’re just different.
