How often do women say «thank you», when you pay for their meal or drink on dates?

1. I can’t remember a single time when I paid and they didn’t thank me.

2. All the time, and currently my girlfriend always thanks me when I pay for a meal or something, and I do the same when she pays.

3. I’m married and my wife and I thank each other when we pay for things – even though its all just our money haha.

4. Every time except one. Largely because they always offer to split, I insist and they either insist back (which I accept) or say “thank you” (which I also accept.)

5. Everytime, in my experience.

6. Pretty much every time, though these days, it’s usually either my wife or a bestie I’m treating because it’s her birthday or something. If I’m close enough with someone that I would want to pay for their meal for *any* reason, they’re probably the kind of person with the courtesy to say “thank you” after, not that I *expect* it, but it *is* nice to hear… it’s nice to be appreciated.

7. I paid for dinner with my wife yesterday and she did thank me.

8. If they don’t there won’t be another.

9. I think it’s pretty customary to end a date with “thanks for tonight” if it goes well

   … well, a first date anyway

10. Women I have dated were always very polite and thanked me for everything. But honestly I probably wouldn’t really care if they didn’t. I never really went into a date looking for praise or a pat on the back. I just wanted them to have fun and enjoy out time together.

11. Always and I just say “don’t mention it”

12. Always. I have never bought a meal for someone who didn’t say thanks

13. every time in my expereince

14. My wife says it everytime.

15. I’m married, and my wife says thank you every time.

16. As much as I rag on women getting free meals when it came to dating, when I was a bachelor I cannot think of a single time a woman did not thank me.

17. They don’t necessarily say it, but they do show that they appreciate it in other ways.

18. I did it the other day. She literally said “thank you.”

19. Every time? I don’t eat with sociopaths.

20. Every time I get a thanks

21. Every time really. It would stand out if one hadn’t.

22. I assume always

    I’m not paying attention to formalities

23. My gf does all the time. Although to be fair these days she normally orders food (has Uber Plus so free delivery) and I send her half.

    When I used to go on more dates. All the time and I’d thank them when they paid for stuff too.

24. I married and still say thank you whenever my husband makes me something or buys us dinner.

25. For as often as I’ve paid, I feel like it’s maybe happened 2-3 times at most. The majority of women say thanks in my experience

26. I married her!
