I would like guys and females point of view on this topic...
The Husband and I had this debate and it was just confusing.
We play together but also alone and I'm not sure about the etiquet on how to handle the situation.
He met someone and they made plans to just have a friendly first meeting... He drove a distance so it was petrol, it was dinner for the 2 of them and then his room that he stayed in that night.
Now this was his choice and he was happy doing it and had no complaints about it. But I am of the mind that you are both benefitting from the meeting and so even if the man chooses to carry the costs it should at least be something discussed just like all other boundaries and rules chatted about between you and the person you are meeting.
When he told me that its just the way its done I still told him that I would never want a guy to think that he had technically payed to sleep with me. He assured me that's not how men look at it but then I read some of the comments here and it makes me wonder all over again.
