Who pays for dinner?

I have just recently got back into the dating scene and have found something that really annoys me. Who is suppose to pay for dinner? It seems like when the guy pays he expects something in return. Something as in sex. I always offer and usually I end up paying atleast 50% of the time just because I don't want to feel obligated and then its like they take it

Well, I can only speak from my own experience (and that of my friends I guess) but I really haven't found it's true that men expect sex because they have paid for dinner!

I took into consideration what you said about "is it all in my head?" Well I will tell you why I think this. This has happened with the last

Since you are back into the dating scene you may very well encounter some clods who will try to railroad you with some horizontal mambo moves so dont think everything is in your head.

OK, well IMO, this is not necessarily indicative that because they bought you dinner, they expect sex.

my opinion -- if its a first date through online dating - I ALWAYS offer & expect

I think that whoever does the asking should do the paying.
