This is funny, I have a standard way of doing this, all a part of my GHCY method that goes:

When the check comes I reach my hand for it while saying:
“Oh, I insist on paying my half missy…” (then with a smirk) “Otherwise, I’d feel like I owe you something later.Wink”

And this too comes from growing up with so many girls in my life, there is an unspoken (even when it’s not real) expectation thinking that girl’s feel is upon them when a guy pays for a date.

By saying this single one alone, it half shows you know more about female thinking than most guys on the planet.

On the other side of that same coin, when said playfully/jokingly, it will start the unspoken momentum in your favor and completely UDR (under the radar)
