Is it okay to ask them to pay for dates? Well, you know, every culture is a little bit different, and even within Western cultures, people have very different opinions of that. Generally speaking, it's commonly accepted, at least in the United States where I live, that the man typically takes the lead on that and asks the woman out and therefore pays for the date. Now, there's an ever-growing trend with more and more women that want to contribute and pay for half the date, but I'm kind of an old-school person. I always, you know, unless they absolutely insist, and even then, I still pretty much prefer that I just pay for the date. 

可以要求美国男人支付约会费用吗？好吧，你知道，每种文化都有点不同，即使在西方文化中，人们对此也有非常不同的看法。一般而言，人们普遍认为，至少在我居住的美国，男人通常会带头约女人出去，并支付约会费用。现在，越来越多的女性想要贡献并支付一半约会的费用，这是一种不断增长的趋势，但我是一个守旧派的人。我总是，除非他们绝对坚持，即使那样，我仍然宁愿我来支付约会的费用。
