Who pays?

There's no single rule. Talk about it.

4 min read

Expectations about who pays vary. A little openness avoids awkward moments.

Approaches

  • Whoever asked pays, and the other person offers next time
  • Split the bill
  • Take turns
  • Suggest a cheaper plan if a date is out of your budget

Over time

As a relationship grows, talk about money openly, including how you'll share costs.
