Women love chivalry and, especially on a first date, they expect that the man will not only open all doors, but pay for anything they do on the date. While men should always reach for their wallet when taking out a woman (especially if you were the one who asked her on the date), there are times when you just shouldn't have to pay. If in the following instances, the woman insists that you pay, she should be kicked to the curb immediately.



On your birthday or any day celebrating you. It's your day, hence it should be her money.

For a wedding gift for one of her friends, or the expenses accrued during the wedding. Unless you are both close friends with the parties in the wedding, you shouldn't have to shell out dough for her best friend's big day.

If her father is at the table. (You do not want to have a Ross moment and make him feel cheap.)

When you are too ill to physically lift your wallet.

When she orders the $600 La Mondotte Saint Emilion while you're in the restroom.

If you're on a date and you find out: she was once a man, she is cheating on you or has murdered someone before.

If you traveled more than six hours via Greyhound to see her.
