WASHINGTON - Who ever said the dating game was logical?
A new Associated Press-WE tv poll turns up all kinds of contradictions when people lay out their thoughts on dating, especially when it comes to money and gender roles.
Seven in 10 of those surveyed say it's unacceptable to expect a date to pay for everything. But most still say it's a man's job to pay for the first date.
Most say it's OK to ask someone out because he or she seems successful. But even more say it's unacceptable to turn down people because they haven't had much success.
One-third think it's OK to search for online clues about a potential first date's success in life. Few say daters should pay attention to each other's finances before they're exclusive.
