Okay based on a comment on my blog about independent women, I've been asked to write a blog about how to date an independent woman.  What I get my self into...lol, if you have a chance, PLEASE answer these questions so I can put this all together and not base the whole blog on just how I feel.



1.  Do you expect your date/partner to open doors for you?
2.  Do you expect your date/partner to pull out your chair for you
3.  Do you expect your date/partner to place your order with the waiter/waitress for you?
4.  Do you expect your date/partner to pay if HE asks YOU out on the first date?
5.  Do you expect your date/partner to pay if YOU ask HIM out on the first date?
6.  Who pays if it's just a "meeting" and we're hanging out?
7.  Do you expect your date/partner to hold your purse in the store as you shop?
8.  Do you expect your date/partner to carry your packages as you shop?  Under what condition if it's not all the time?

Now the long term relationship stuff

1.  Do you expect your partner to consult you prior to making a major purchase?  Are you willing to consult him before doing the same?
2.  Do you expect your partner to retain a bank account in his name, you one in yours and the two of you have a joint account?
3.  Do you expect for your partner to have his own vehicle?
4.  Who is responsible for doing laundry?
4.  Who is responsible for cooking?
5.  Who is responsible for cleaning?
6.  Who is responsible for taking out the trash?
7.  Who is responsible for the paying of the household bills?
8.  Who picks up the check for "date night" if you are in a long term monogamous relationship?
9.  Did I leave anything out??  Have anything to add?  Go for it.
