A girl that asks you out is looking to pay for the date.

She is fully aware that a girl asking a guy out is out of the ordinary.

In asking you out, she is assuming the financial burden of the first date.

Since girls aren’t prone to asking a guy out all that often, doing so is a strong indication of how much she likes the guy.

Women are afraid of rejection.

Given that they rarely have to approach men, they don’t experience rejection all that often.

In asking you out, she is taking a risk of getting rejected.

That shows just how much she is attracted to you.

It wouldn’t make sense for her to now expect you to have to pay for the date that she has just mustered up the courage to ask you out on.

Asking a guy out isn’t something she does on a regular basis.

You are something special for her to feel compelled to ask you out.

All of this being said, it is important that you show gratitude.

Just as men like it when women show appreciation, women do too.

Although she intends to pay for the date, this doesn’t give you permission to take her kindness for granted.

Saying words like “Thank you” go a long way.

Don’t let it get to your head.

She doesn’t want to have to be the one having to constantly ask you out on dates in the future and paying for them.

What she is primarily doing in asking out is opening the door.

But, she also wants to feel like you like her and that she is still the girl in all of this.

Meaning, after this first date, she wants you to take over the lead.

Although she made the first move in asking you out and paying for the date, she wants you to take the lead in asking her out on a consequent date and paying for it.

She wants you to lead moving forward.

Although she is totally game to help out with future date plans, she would prefer that you lead in making them happen.

Additionally, even though she doesn’t expect you to pay for the first date, she isn’t looking to break her bank account either.

Making sure you don’t order the most expensive items on the menu gives her an even better impression of who you are as a person.

That said, she doesn’t want you to patronize her either.

If she realizes that you are deliberately ordering something that costs very little, she will question it.

Keep in mind that she wants to impress you.

Don’t be shy with what you choose to order, as long as you don’t go overboard.

Once she has paid for the date, remember to thank her.

Also, in good faith, suggest a new date and make tentative plans for when and where to meet for it.

This gives her the impression that you didn’t just accept her date proposal to get a free lunch or dinner.

It shows that you are serious about her which encourages her to stay interested in you.
