Don’t overthink paying the bill—these ways are appropriate:
- On a first date, the man takes the initiative to pay. After the date, the woman can say, “Let me treat you to coffee next time” to show politeness.
- Once you’re more familiar with each other, split the bill. You can 笑着 say, “I’ll get this one, you treat next time”—taking turns paying feels more equal.
- On special holidays, the man pays. The woman can prepare a small gift, such as a handmade accessory. Exchanging favors makes the interaction more harmonious.
