After reading an article about going dutch on the Frisky, it got me thinking about dating and gender roles. Women, we have ourselves to blame. Howman magazine articles tell us to ask a man out, buy him a drink and make the first move.

We've become the hunters, then we complain when the check comes and he doesn't make a move for his wallet. If you asked him out, then you should expect to pay. End of discussion.

If you two were set up by a friend, said friend should've armed you both with gift cards or cash.

If your mama is so set on you getting married and giving her grandkids, she needs to hand over the credit card for dinner and a trip to Adam and Eve.

Dating isn't hard, we make it difficult because we over think everything.
