What's the current way of things on this issue with young couples?
I got a younger friend of mine that called me today with a girlfriend problem.
They both work. He's in corporate sales. She's a teacher. They've been seeing each other for about a year. Usually he pays when they go out to eat, but often they'll split the tab. She gave him the "I don't think its right that you still let me pickup half the tab" speech yesterday and they got into a big fight over it and she hung up on him.
I would never have a girl pay the bill or even half the bill. I told him that the guy should always pay, but he said I was old fashioned and its not like that anymore and a lot of young couples split restaurant bills down the middle nowadays, even after going out for a while. He also just took her on a cruise and had her chip in for it.
What are your thoughts?
