Split the bill I was talking about social changes between our parents' and our own generations with my tutor via italki today, and somehow we came to the topic of splitting the bill between a boy and a girl. It might depend on culture, but in my country some girls think it is normal that men buy them dinner, whereas other girls feel awkward about it or even offended. Me? Perhaps I want to pay for my own share, but to be honest I don't want to pay more than boys... I am an egalitarian but it seems I must acknowledge myself selfish!
