Who picks up the bill?

Recently I saw and episode of when I met your mother, or some sitcom like that. Anyhow one of the male characters was trying to decide between two women he was dating, one of the things he was determining over was who reached for the bill at dinner. Not if they paid, but that they reached for the bill. It got me thinking, what is the PC thing for a woman to do these days?

Matchmakers tell women to let men be men. That they pay, plan the date, etc. Till you're in a committed relationship. Pax Programs say to give men ideas, go to thier area of town so they feel more comfortable and let them be the men. Feminists say no men should come to you, you pay the bill, and you take charge. So it gets confusing for a woman in the dating world as to what to do.

Does it matter on who asked who? If its casual? Do you offer to pay 1/2, all, reach for the check and pray that he takes it from you? What? It really is a very akward situation to dating if you ask me.

And If I don't reach for the bill will that be the end of whatever might be building between us? What if I really don't have any money to pay for it, should I volunteer to do the dishes? *pulling hair out* UGH!!! Dating is so difficult sometimes!
