we had been to aston's a number of times and we still crave having their western dishes. and being resonably-priced also attracts diners! i must say this lady i'm dating is remarkable! she is always full of surprises.. the more i find out about her the more i'm attracted to her!

i was brought to the attention to this traditional question, where on a date should the man pay? should the couple go dutch? or should whoever initiated the date pay?

from what i've come to understand, most guys do not mind paying for their ladies but are turned off if he feel that they are 'expected' to pay. there are some that jus feels that there is no reason for them to be paying as they should just go dutch.. "not like the girl cant pay for herself" or "i havent started earning any income so why should i? ". then again there are guys who go all chivalrous and will always insist on paying for everything and anything. girls on the other hand. they are a much more complicated species that i wont dare analyse. i guess there are those that relish having guys pay for their everthing. and independent ones insisting that they are quite capable to foot their bills. some rather just take turns paying off the bill - that way they dont feel like they owe the guy anything and also there'll be no issues regarding money should the relationship turn complicated. in a relationship many other aspects also count in.

personally i've always felt the guy should be the one footing the bill as it is only polite and it is the proper dating etiquette for a romantic date out with the one you love. and alot more other factors but anyway, as you get to know each other more, all these money matters wont matter as i guess what's yours is hers and what's hers is hers! love this girll of mine! =p
