Psychologist Settles the Debate Over Who Should Pay on a Date

A leading psychologist says the long-running debate over who should pay on a date has a simple answer: the person who extends the invitation should cover the costs. In a conversation with RIAМО, Doctor of Psychological Sciences Dmitry Yagudin said a straightforward rule remains the best guide in modern dating etiquette: whoever initiates the meeting should pay. The Inviter Should Cover the Bill "If a man invites a woman, then the financial responsibility is his,” Yagudin said.
