Some girls want a guy to pay when eating in a restaurant. Others think it's "patronizing." So do girls (in general) want guys to pay for diner, or don't they?

I dont think its patronizing, but I will usually split the costs, unless a guy asked me on a date with the intention of paying (and so chose an expensive place). If i invited to the expensive place, of course i would buy. Currently, my bf and i take turns buying basically everything - food, gas, tickets - just bc its easier and quicker, and our kind of "here sweetie, i'll get it this time."
That is what I believe.
If you mean a first date I don't care...I suppose it should be whoever asked who on the date or you split it but I know some guys are old fashioned and don't like to let the girl pay.
If he invites ME out to dinner, I expect him to pay.
If I invite HIM out to dinner, I pay.
All other circumstances, we split the cost.
I am somewhat old fashioned in this respect, I believe that if you invite someone out, than you pay. Any other way, we go dutch unless one party insists to pay.
If the other person pays, all the better, more spending money for me, then again, if _I_ invite people, it's usually home cooking.
So if i'm eating out, it's usually by invitation, and then the other person has a choice of where to go to control costs(i am not impressed by fancy restaurants, only by fancy food.)
Technically, i think i overcame that "reflex" to feel patronized the first times people who were already earning their own money bought me drinks during school/university. Handling "buying dinner" different would feel pretentious.
Political correctness. Ugh!
To this day he still makes horrific faces when he sees the bill and pretends to faint :o)
They'll say "We'll split the cost" on this poll, but they'll expect the guy to say "want to split the cost?", they won't say "I'll pay for half", and the guy obviously isn't going to ask for her to pay half, which females know that.
Women should be the ones saying "I'll pay half", the males shouldn't have to ask.
Some women do pay half, but let's be honest, if someone can get a free meal, they would most likely jump at the chance. There was a woman on the news that actually dated guys just to be taken out for meals without paying. She said that it's cheaper for her, and that she'll go out nearly every day with different men just to get a free meal...
That lady from the news is a disgrace.
