Depends, for the majority of the time, we're both skint so we usually just pay our respective bills. I'll sometimes treat her to free stuff though because I try and be nice

Me and my boyfriend are quite fair, we usually split bills in half. There was a time when he was quite poor so I paid for a little more, and vice versa. Occasionally he'll pay for a meal or something though and it is nice to be treated, but I wouldn't expect that from a guy, it's more of an added bonus haha.

Society pays.

I think the one who invites, pays. If you take someone to a nice restaurant, the cost wouldn't "happen" if you didn't ask, and I think you have to be prepared to pay.

I bring my wallet and reach for it when the bill comes, but I can't recall a date I've been on where the guy didn't insist on paying.

go dutch or 50/50 -
however you look at it, paying for women is not just outdated, it's sexist and objectifies women
you ask a girl out to enjoy her company and for her to hopefully enjoy your company, there is no financial reward or incentive for her to do so, no freebies, and she's not pressured into anything and doesn't "owe" anyone anything
and if she decides there's no chemistry and it's not working, she isn't shame-labelled as a "prude" or a "golddigger"
paying for a girl's time and expecting her to put out because she "owes" you - how is that any different from prostitution?

I could understand those who say "he/she who does the asking does the paying", but how often do girls ask guys out? not nearly as often
social norms, y u so confining and restrictive
why does the guy always have to woo and romance the girl? why doesn't the guy get to be romanced? maybe the guy wants to be romanced?!
