Who should pay on a first date?
Well, there's one simple solution to this problem that most guys don't consider.

The answer to this question is really simple, but most guys miss the mark because they believe they have to do something that costs money to go on a date, and this is not the case.
A simple answer is: don't take a woman on a date that costs money. Go somewhere where you don't have to spend anything.
For example, here are some brief first-date ideas:
The last one is a little more advanced. If you don't have much experience in dating, this is going to seem completely foreign.
It's definitely possible on a regular basis. But that's not what this post is about.
If the weather sucks or it's going to be dark, then obviously you're going to want some indoor options. That's going to probably cost a little bit of money.
But even a cheap date costs some money, so who pays them?
To keep it simple, I would just pay. For the cost of a coffee or a drink, you can eliminate any confusion or any kind of awkwardness in deciding who pays.
When I mention a drink, I literally mean one drink. Don't take her out for a round of drinks, because that can get very expensive fast.
The whole point of the first date is just to make a connection and get to know her a bit. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to do that.
So, avoid expensive dinner dates. They're just a waste. Most of the time you're just going to end up being a dinner ticket, and that's not something you want to do.

Men are the ones who normally pay on a first date. This is a traditional way, which has always been done.
But as a man, you can avoid this kind of cost by going either on a really cheap date or going on a date that is free.
The guy doesn't always have to pay on the date, but it all depends on what kind of impression you want to make.
It's possible you may come across as cheap if you're trying to decide how to split your coffee bill.
If your first date offers to split the bill, that's definitely a good way to go.
How much should guys spend on the first date comes down to their economics? It's like, how much money do you have?
But the honest answer is as little as possible because spending more money on a date will not turn her on or make her like you more.
