Any couples who have same problem Any feed back would be welcome cheers B&B |

If we use a hotel we pay for it as we will be staying over. And we wouldn't contribute to tge cost if someone else was staying and we weren't. If the room was purely for a meet (not that we ever do that) we'd pay 50/50 |

As a 'lone male' on here I am happy to foot the bill for a room if we agree to meet, I usually offer and am happy to do so.
If I was ASKED to do so (as you hear some stories on here) and bring wine / vodka / cigarettes etc (again based on other stories) I might take a different view.
If you would prefer to split the cost then politely and genuinely offer. If the guy refuses then I wouldn't push the matter any further - but make sure you thank him for the hospitality as it is nice for it to be recognised at least 
Good luck with it! |

Yes if we where staying then we would have no worries in paying ..and would more than likely if arranged before hand go in with the cost with another couple ..but just feel uneasy with gent paying the bill himself |

Unless it's a room you happen to be in anyway then share costs 50/50.
The fact you are asking this shows how you feel mutual respect and honesty is important - it makes for the very best meets. Well played |

Exactly this.
A meet is for the benefit of all involved - but why should somebody who won't be staying the night be expected to contribute?
If we were asked to meet at a hotel we wouldn't expect to pay anything.
If we'd asked someone to join us at one we'd never ask for money.

I think if the guy offers to pay you shouldn't feel guilty at letting him after all he will be getting a dream meet with you so its the least he can do |

I would expect whoever is staying to pay for the room, however I would expect any single male would at least offer to contribute somehow / bring a nice bottle to show effort.
Whenever I've done hotel meets I've paid for my room, and generally couples have paid for theirs as well. It's all about the honesty and respect thing, the money is irrelevant in terms of principle, for me anyway. |

I was just about to post something similar, I cannot see the moral dilemma either.  |

If the hotel room is for a play meet only....we would split the cost.
If we were staying in a hotel overnight and decided to invite someone over, we wouldn't expect them to pay towards it.

"You pay for the room and get him to buy dinner or drinks.
or
If its a good meet and you meet again, he picks up the bill next time."
i do that with a guy i have met a few times, we take it in turns to book and pay for the room |
