A woman has revealed her tried-and-tested hack for avoiding paying the cheque on a first date.

Traditional dating etiquette stipulates that the gentleman should always foot the bill after taking a woman out - but is that still the case?

According to research conducted by Elite Singles, almost 63 percent of surveyed men still believed they should be flashing the cash on a first date, while 46 percent of women agreed with the notion.

Furthermore, only five percent of women thought it was their gender’s duty to pay for a night out, while two percent of men would be happy to leave it up to the woman to cough up the dough.

Redditors have previously debated the conundrum, with one writing: “I always assume paying on the first date, I also make the plans so I know it won’t be outrageously expensive. Although, if I don’t get thanked for dinner, that’s a huge turn off.”

“I think it's definitely fair to split on especially the first date, but a LOT of women really like when you pay for dinner,” commented a second. “I always offer to pay but they often just pay their part anyway.”

A third typed: “It leaves a positive impression if the guy pays, although I don’t expect it. If you’re really into the girl and want to impress her then I recommend paying but if you’re a bit meh about her I personally wouldn’t pay if I were you, not on the first date at least.”

Another person who agrees with men paying for the first date is Sabrina Low, a model and influencer who boasts 87,500 followers on Instagram.

She claims that women should refuse to pay for the bill if they weren’t the ones to ask their flame out in the first place.

“At least on the first date, the obligation to pay the bill lies with the person who invited you,” she explained.

After revealing her stance on the situation, Low delivered a tried-and-tested hack for swerving the bill.

She claimed that she often carries small bags on first dates so that she’s left with no room to bring any physical money or a credit card to the table.

”I always carry a very small bag which only fits a small lipstick,” she admitted.

“This is so I can't take a card and I don't have to split the bill.”

Is this a cheeky method of avoiding paying for a first date or a calculated, genius move? We’ll leave it up to you to decide.
