In contrast, dating/marriage in America; I've been married for 19 years so far. The only way my wife pays is when she sneaks her debit card to the waiter before I can pay. Or...she pays for some activity I want no part of, knowing I won't let she and our daughter go by themselves. That's why I'm at Disneyland right now...I'm keeping my mouth shut as they discover the soul-robbing experience of waiting 1-2 hours to get on a ride that lasts 1-5 minutes.
believe me...not all men in Germany are like that😉...maybe the younger generation...but the "old" ones are more gentlemens …mostly 😚 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Girl I’m Canadian been living in Toronto for 4 years. I’m moving to Berlin in a few weeks after meeting this German boy here who did a short visa. We started hanging out in January and the first few weeks we’d hang out he’d often take me on walks… and YOU know the winter weather here! Believe I had makeup running down my face even though waterproof. I met up with him in Berlin this July and I’m wearing jeans and a purse… I had no idea he was taking me on a hike up to Teufelsberg. But I honestly love the walks and I can’t wait! My style has slowly become more sporty like my natural tomboy self that gradually changed when I moved to England and then Toronto where many girls are a little more done-up.
I don't know any german man who would behave like this on a date and i lived in that country for 40 years. I guess you were just pretty unlucky and picked the one idiot. Or it is because you live in Berlin, they are different. 😂
They are different indeed. But for small stuff like coffee, we usually just take turns. And for big, expensive dinners, it depends. Splitting the bill is fair if the income is comparable. If she earns way less than me and I am the one who wants to go to the restaurant, I will pay. I see no reason why my desires should become a problem for other people.
No we germans are like that now and its good like that, she wants to be equal so let her pay her own bills bc that is what equal means. We are just done putting in three times more then what comes back from most women today. They want you to pay for everything, pay their car, their nails, their handbags, food, the house both of you live in etc so pls explain what they give back? Bc most modern women actually think having sex with him is all they have to do while he does everything else.. they dont even know how to cook or raise children etc any more so even that would be our work after we come home from work.. sry but equal means equal work to put into the relationship and thats not something most modern women are willing to do..
I split all expenses that are over €5. I find it reduces resentment long-term over who is paying more in the relationship. Some people develop entitlement otherwise. A fair relationship is a happier one 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
First Date you should split the bill, because nothing should be expected from either party. You are both there to get to know each other. On equal terms. If the guy is expected to pay for everything, then what are you as a woman supposed to bring to the table? That said, I usually do offer to pay in the first date to make a good impression, but it should never be expected. Equally, a woman could offer to pay to give a good impression. Showing that you are not a gold digger
Agreed. There are in fact more women out there who set up multiple dates online to get free meals everyday as part of a budgeting plan. They brag about it quite a bit
I agree with Steve Harvey. How is a man going to show he can provide if he won’t buy a plate of food. Not going to catch a traditional woman going Dutch.
It depends. Depending on the culture, you might indirectly "buy" a "favor" from your date that way. So you get something in return. Does it make those girls "professionals"? Maybe. I do not judge. But I can assure you, they do not want to be called that way :D
@@andreas7944 Called what? Because I dont understand. Also it depends on the girl. If she acts kind and nice, then yes sure. But if she acts like some hoe, then sorry. No man wants to be treated like ATM. What Im focusing is that, if you want to be independent, dont force men to do things for you.
Commitment is required both in Love & Financial Matters but with the walks & treks you'll always have a fit physique and loving nature is purposeful Great Love ❤❤❤❤
