This perception that bills should always be settled by the man on his own every outing should be discouraged. 

However, in this 21st century, things are changing. 

Research shows that things are changing as ladies take men out on dates and go ahead to pay the bills.

Many couples are building strong foundations in relationships as well as laying down ground rules on how bills should be taken care of.

Partners who factor in the economic aspect of spending have learned to assist each other just to avoid overburdening your partner.

It has also emerged that when you assist in paying bills fully to show how independent you are, some partners may take advantage of that to the extent of forgetting to pay bills altogether.

All in all, it is good to assist times. 

Assisting helps erase the idea of dependency just to show that you are not relying on them so much.

Do not let your partner pay the bill all the time even if they insist on doing so.

Surprise him/her even once in a while when they do not expect it all.

In fact, it is nice showing your partner you can be independent and for sure they will appreciate it.

Always learn to do this it helps in bonding.You can even strike some fairness based on ratio each should pay if that can work.
