I know some in this modern day like to go "Dutch" as they call it, but I prefer not to - I *HATE* splitting a bill at the table. I'd rather "I'll get this one you get the next", but if they insist on splitting it I won't make a scene. Likewise, if they insist on paying I wont make a scene, and will accept graciously, but I don't expect that, and will usually disagree at first.
One of my ex girlfriends had an issue as she wanted to pay her half, but couldn't where I often took her. So we had an agreement - when we went to my choice of venue, I paid, her choice she paid - and it worked. I loved her local Korean restaurant that served great food and the staff were lovely - I also liked my favorite Japanese one where they served great food and the staff were lovely too. Meant we could both enjoy what we liked, and stick within our means.
