Ah first dates. 

We’ve all had to go on them and we’ve all had to negotiate the awkward ‘who pays’ conversation at the end.

For years it’s been assumed that men should foot the bill but it’s the 21st century now so it’s time we started acting that way. 

Here’s why men shouldn’t pay on first dates:
