If a guy invites you out for a drink, just a drink, do you expect him to pay?

I would expect him to buy the first drink but then I would pay for the second.

I’m always prepared to pay for myself, and will offer to pay - but if I was invited out, I’d kinda expect him to pay for at least the first - you invited me here, not the other way around😅

A man should always pay no matter who invites who. I would assume he didn’t like me at all if he invited me and then didn’t pay. If I invited him and he likes me then I would assume he would still want to pay for my drink or drinks.
I guess it’s just the type of men I’ve been around but even when I would go out with my friends men who would be interested in any one of us would buy all of us drinks.

I’ve had guy friends who asked me out for a drink and I paid for my own drinks because we were friends & it wasn’t a date! it’s just two ppl of the opposite sex hanging out, so Its no different than my girlfriend asking me to go for a drink! BUT if this invite is a DATE then he definitely needs to pay! If it’s a date then a guys is expected to pay in my opinion especially if he asked u!

No. If it’s not a date then you need to pay for yourself. And this scenario does NOT feel like a date.


Even if he insist on paying, obviously don’t leave your home without money on you. Teach your sons and daughters this.

I say yesss! I could never go on a second date if he didn’t insist on paying for me. Simply because I would want a man that is actually a man and not an undercover woman. I know it’s an unpopular opinion with the equality hype going on rn but I don’t really care. Men have certain expectations as well as women.

To me the man always pays but that’s how I feel about it. But also even with platonic relationships the one who invites the other pays.

exactly! I agree with u! I’m waiting on incognito to specify it this was “date” cuz women are responding based on the assumption that this was a date bt jus like u I answered based on if or it’s a “date” or not :)

Eh. It would be nice. But I’m always gonna be prepared to pay. I don’t always just assume the man always pays. I’m always a half/half or pay for your portions type of person. It would be nice for who invites who to pay but you never know someone’s financial struggles and i wouldn’t want to pay for an expensive drink or meal of the person got something crazy

why would NOT paying make him an “undercover women”. I can totally see other reasons BUT this one….its…..

Can you imagine if a man said something this cretinous.

A man should always pay, otherwise he is not a man anymore. In my culture.

oh! I mean… “undercover women” is just an interesting phrasing for labeling a man as less masculine when it comes to financial matters (in my opinion).

I never expect anyone to pay for me ever. If I’m invited out and I can’t afford it, I would say I would love to but I can’t afford it. If they then offered to pay then that’s a different story

Rule of thumb is who invites out pays but really we should be prepared to pay for ourselves.

He pays always!

NGL I've been with a brokey and ugh. Never again lol

I would pay for myself.
