great point, Veronia- I think that it is older couples that feel less comfortable with this, perhaps because of a tradition of having one person pay when the bill comes. Younger people seem much more comfortable with this idea.

pay for what you eat
Granted I have yet to officially dine with "married" people but I've dined with practically married people many a time. It's simple...pay for what you eat, which is akin to asking for separate checks. It's what we did BEFORE they got married...why should it change after they got married?
