Guys, would it bother you if your girlfriend let you pay for every date or do you not mind?

Girls, do you like guys to pay most of the time or try to even things out?

I always try to even things out in the end. I think it's nice for the guy to pay at first, but I don't like to think that I owe people anything in the end. I'm curious because I don't know how other girls handle these situations, and I don't know how guys prefer it.

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was the end of the 2006 World Cup. Italy took the gold home! Zidane had an upsetting, yet entertaining, moment of aggression, and I learned a few new things about soccer.

The best thing about watching soccer is how the soccer players go full throttle and still move so agilely. The fans are always great too. It's great how they stay until the end of the game, regardless of how their team is performing. It's different in the U.S. It's typical for people to leave during half-time of a football game (the American kind of football). I've been guilty of doing that. I thought it was just poor sportsmanship for awhile, but then I realized the Americans typically go to sports game not for the sport but for the social aspect. Usually, a sports game gives a group of friends something to do, and when this group gets bored they go do something else.

Now, I just have to wait for another 4 years to enjoy another World Cup game.
