It's complicated: Who pays on dates

Almost two-thirds of men want women to pitch in eventually, survey finds

Most first dates come straight out of the pages of a 1920s romance novel, and after a man generously treats a woman, he still expects something in return.

Namely, he expects her to return the favor of paying. (What were you thinking?)

An Elle/msnbc.com survey of about 74,000 online readers found that most guys want gals to help with the check after a few free meals. But that’s tricky because gals are torn over tab sharing: Some are reluctant to pay while others are adamant about their ability to pay.
