What did the crab do?
Its a masculine thing to pay; it's nice to feel, as a guy, you can support your loved (or whatever the relationship is) one... It's not only that you have the capability to, it's something more, too... But what exactly is hard to put a finger on
I do think, though, that things should end up roughly even. I know that it can get frustrating when it's not (or the girl gets manipulative in order to be paid for... grr!), and can become one of those 'little things' that add up, tension-wise. I'm not interested in calculating what's half, right to the cent, but I know it's so very, very nice when you hear "you paid last time; it's my shout this time"... assuming you're comfortable enough, as a guy, to let her!
There is a certain element of who has the higher income, too... If the guy has a higehr income, I think things can be a little more skewed, but personally I don't thnk there should be a hard and fast rule...
