Settle this in the group chat: It’s the end of a solid first date, the bill arrives. Pick 2 acceptable outcomes for who pays (or how you split it):

Options

• They insist on paying the whole thing, no argument from either side.
• You offer to pay half, they accept. Simple, fair.
• You offer to pay half, they decline and insist on treating you.
• They offer to pay the whole thing, you accept gracefully.
• You stealthily pay when they're in the restroom (smooth move).
• "Let's split it down the middle!" is uttered by one of you.
• They say, "I got this one, you get the next," setting up a second date.
• You both awkwardly stare at it until the waiter sighs.
