Look mate , you can call me Northern for this but.... She is your new girlfriend so far you have not found out that she prefers more slap than tickle. So can we all stop with the bloody trying to attach a Dom/Sub aspect to every part of our fookin lives its getting tiresome. Is it Dom to walk the dog or Sub to put the cat out... who cares.

I may be wrong here but a Sub if I remember correctly is a person who by consent gets their kicks out of what is generally seen by nice society as, the filling in a debauchery sandwich. They are not however a none feeling brainless play thing that has to be chaperoned by some insecure tit who thinks he's hard core because he has a 4" flogger. Maybe Subs like men who are able to take control of them, make them do things they would not normally do you know be dominant. If your going to keep asking the rest of us if its ok to pay the bill after a meal, is that really dominant.

Do it Adam, just grab that bill and stride through that restaurant with your head held high, think "I'm macho man and I'll take that knife and shove it up your arse..." and you throw caution to the wind. Screw IC and their opinions, you just pay that bill.

She will love you for it.. because she still has her taxi fair home. Look I took my sub out for dinner and paid, its how I was brought up it has nothing to do with Dom/Sun I just thought it was a nice thing to do. I was also told not to hit girls but with perseverance and practice I got over that. Do what you feel comfortable with, just don't go on about Battlestar Galactica over dinner...

The love doctor is in, standard rates apply except for weekends and after six.

You're over-thinking it. Who cares what others think is "Domly" or "Manly"? One size does not fit all. If you have a certain way of doing things that is old fashioned or "gentlemanly" - then stick to it.

To thine own self be true.

If you go trying to change how you act because of the person you're with, then they're not getting to know the real *YOU*. That's not fair on them. Don't hide who you are - if they don't like who you are, then it's best to find that out sooner rather than later.

We'll have to agree to differ then LOL

I'm kind of old-fashioned about things like that. It's not strictly a D/s issue for me, it's more that, as yourself, I've been brought up to expect to do these things.

Exactly. D/s doesn't have to permiate *everything* you do. Sometimes you do a thing because you want to be in charge. Other times you do things because you want to look after people.

Paying for a meal is the "gentlemanly" thing to do, not the "Dom" thing to do (for me, at least).

So he can dominate a credit card machine? Whoopee. Doesn't have any impact at all on how he will dominate me - and to be honest if he comes across all "big man" about it it makes it less likely he will get to dominate me.

If it's an ego trip, then sure. I doubt that it will be the only sign of his being incompatible with you though. If he wants to pay because he enjoys looking after you, then he's a gentleman.

If he does it because he wants to look like the "big man" then he's probably compensating for a complete lack of confidence in himself, or because he's narsisistic, or some other negative trait. I'm sure most women (you included) have a tosser radar that's well tuned enough to see the difference though!

Lord Polonius "This above all: to thine ownself be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man."

Adama: What do you hear, Starbuck?
Starbuck: Nothing but the rain, sir.
Adama: Then get your gun, and bring the cat in.
Starbuck: Boom boom boom.

If I invite someone out, I pay. If they invite me, they pay.

It keeps things simple

If a subbie comes to visit then I expect them to get here at their own cost, after that if they are short of cash I generally look after everything. Clubs /food/transport etc. Maybe they treat me during this period if they can. its give n take and mutual respect neh?

If they were equally comfortable financially, then I suspect we would share the costs but up the standard :) certainly I don't think I should pay cos I am "Dom" (hear me Roar)

When my sub used to come visit from America, she would shove a few hundred squids in my hand saying "you use this as you wish" after that I took care of all bills, it was never discussed or an issue.

Its never really ever been a issue I would worry about actually, it is what it is, why stress :)

Having said all that on a first date, I would usually happily offer to pay, tis just how I am, I enjoy good company! However certainly wouldn't be offended if she refused.

I have been on a first date with a dom and insisted on buying dinner. I can't remember the occasion...may have been his birthday or him getting a new job or something. Even though I had never met him before I wanted to treat him so I did. I suspect that it may have embarrassed him but there was a good reason for me doing it.

Other first dates - it has depended on the situation but a lot of the time I have at least offered to go halves.

My partner and I tend to take turns. For example this weekend he paid for lunch and I paid for the cinema and sweeties :) (most of which he ate)
