Going Dutch - Yes or No
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008
Going Dutch at a business lunch is normal. But what about going Dutch at a date? Oops, this suggestion can make women fury. The thing is that all the discussions about equality and feminism seem forgotten when paying for a dinner at a romantic encounter. Maybe in the Netherlands it’s quite traditional to offer your date to go halves on a bill, but American women won’t like the idea.
So what’s wrong? Should men foot bills on their own or should they try to share a dinner cost? Due to the recent stats they’D BETTER not to mention going Dutch to someone they want to see again. And women in their turn, shouldn’t make a scene - when men want to pay for a dinner, a trip, entertainment on their own. If they do, it’s like a signal for males - this gal isn’t interested in me. Dating experts recommend women to make a suggestion of splitting the bill on the third date, if men agree, of course. (more…)
Men are making jokes about women, and women neither want to be behind and share jokes about men. Is this normal? So many people from the both camps seem concerned about this. Some simply don’t like them and refuse listening. Some feel humiliated and disrespected. Some get so angry that it’s safer to clear out. How do you think it’s ok for men and women to make gender jokes?
Is getting close without living together possible? Or cohabitation is inevitable in modern society?
So, here we are, and here is sex in our lives. Yep, sex is important, it’s pleasure, intimacy, and of course it’s a significant part of relationships. But most girls are very concerned about having sex for the first time with a certain guy. The thing is that in 90% cases it’s males who take the initiative of having sex. And girls aren’t just ready. Sometimes. So what is the most common time to make sex?
