Can't Even Pay

I'm so sick of this being an awkward process. Let me, as a man, pay for the date.

Even after the first date, girls I'm seeing will express discomfort when I pay. It's just a kind gesture. If I wasn't able to do it, we'd go 50/50.

It doesn't have strings attached either. I just try to be generous, but being generous in this way is beginning to feel tacky in our current culture.
