Romantic Dates and Free Love

Romantic Dates and Free Love

Change is good, but it won't buy you a night on the town. Our mothers and fathers found each other in the days of the sexual revolution, when discussion about the chivalry of getting the bill on dates sometimes ended sourly for the men involved. Women were aware of their increasing state in the world and their ability to provide for themselves.

All these years later, what women realize today is that their abilities, strengths, and intellectual qualities match those of their male counterparts quite well, but their paychecks leave much to be desired. With the gender gap manifesting itself in an increased paycheck discrepancy, fewer women feel good about paying the check on dates. A 12% difference in pay rate equals a big difference in entertainment flexibility for single women in the market for love and romance.

Add to their bill investments in monthly internet matchmaking services such as Match.com and Dating Direct, and you may find fewer women interested in searching the web for their ideal companion, long-time partner, or perfect date. The key to keeping balance amid the dating choices is to understand the value of a perfect offer.

Men choosing their ideal dates online should be mindful of their female companions' investments. The right outfit, impeccable makeup, seductive fragrances, and a bag with shoes to match are enough to leave a bank account aching. With their monthly charges for services that help make love connections happen, many available women appreciate the reprieve of a man who remembers chivalry.

Offering to pick up the tab does not have to insult women who are committed to paying their own way either. Simply do it with some panache, insist a second time, and agree to pay separately if this seems to be important to your date. You could always suggest she pay the next time if you would like to ensure that you see each other on a second date.
