Ep. 21: Who pays for the darn first date? The definitive answer to this tricky question‪.‬ Your Dating Bestie Podcast

    • Relationships

So, you meet a man online, you swap a few good messages, you speak on the phone and then he asks you out. You’re at a pub or a casual restaurant having drinks, a light meal and a great chat. Then the bill arrives – along with a whole lot of awkwardness.



In this day and age, when men no longer have to pay because women earn their own money, who pays for the darn first date? I answer this question once and for all.



Here are the top 5 points I cover in this episode:

 

❤ Your five date-paying options and the pros and cons of each one

❤ Various reasons why a man may or may not choose to pay for a first date

❤ The ‘fake purse grab’ technique and why both men and women like it

❤ What to do if he plans a fancy first date and it makes you uncomfortable

❤ How first dates differ to second/third/fourth dates and relationship dates



This episode was inspired by the women’s finance podcast, Penny For Your Thoughts. The short version of my answer to ‘Why pays for the first date?’ was featured in this episode.



As a professional dating mentor kinda like the lovechild of Carrie Bradshaw and Crocodile Dundee, I help women go from ‘dating sucks’ to dating success with my unique ‘best friend’ approach.

This will also give you exclusive access to email-only content and the opportunity to ask me a dating question and get it answered for FREE. Cool, huh!
