Let's go Dutch!
What do you guys (and girls) think? When is it appropriate to go Dutch? Do you think a guy shouldn't go Dutch if he's romantically involved with the girl he's having dinner/lunch/etc. with?

"When is it appropriate to go Dutch?"
Is this Q about in a relationship?
About the second Q:
This is actually somewhat culturally related.
Here in China, many guys would pay for girls (whether in a romantic relationship or just friends) even they actually don't really want to, since paying for girls shows that you're not a stingy guy. It's a tradition. Some girls would complain if their boyfriends would just go Dutch, others don't. So, it depends.
In the U.S., asI learned, if a guy asks a girl out, he should pay. Who asks the part out, who pays.
In North Europe, they usually go Dutch (due to the feminism).
I personally prefer going Dutch. I have no problem with it, I would even pay for him.

在中国,一般情况下,在一起聚餐都会有人作东,不会AA制,因为聚餐都是有原因的,通常我们会说“我的地盘,我做主”;另外,如果聚餐不是为了某一个人,也不是专门由某一个人发起,或者事先商量好,对于花费较大的聚会,才会go dutch.
如果跟自己喜欢的女孩一起吃饭,那自然是我请客的。

我喜欢荷兰,我看到的资料里说荷兰是一个有很多鲜花的地方,那里的花品种很多。我想那里会很漂亮、自然、浪漫的。
