I started this video thinking "Meg is probably the last person to give good dating advice". It turns out that it was actually pretty good. Kudos, girl.
You literally described me in that first question, I'm crying. Btw I love what you do at rooster teeth and I've been a long time fan. I'm just now binge watching your videos because I'm yard muffin and I didn't know you had a channel. Your amazing and I love what you do and I love you. I wish I was your age, and I hope you read this :)
I'm glad for ladies like you that still enjoy doors being opened for them. I've always been from the belief that women appreciate doors being opened for them and I also believe that it will get them to smile and anything to make a lady smile is worth it's weight in gold!
I agree. I also think you can split the bill on the other dates and you can also pay the entire bill once in awhile depending on your financial status.
1) Your sweet new hairdo is really awesome. 2) I love your Q&As. I vote for Part 2! 3) I think first date should always be everyone pays for themselves. That way no one feels like they owe anyone anything. It's a good way to keep the "getting to know you" phase less stressful.
I believe it's whoever asks. If I ask a girl out on a date I will totally pay every time, but if a girl wants to ask me out and offers to pay I am okay with that.
I absolutely love love love these videos where its just you chatting about certain topics. You should do these more, because you're beautiful and I'd honestly watch you talk about anything x
Am glad that I wasn't the only one that noticed! Both Trish and Meg are so cute when they do it!! The cute part is that they both do it with the same voice tone .
I appreciate you lack of judgement based on my opinion! Ironically, yours was the most open response to my comment yet! Love your work. Stay wonderful!
I just enjoy watching you express your point of view on random topics because you do it so elequently. When it applies to my life, like this video, it just makes me very happy :D
On the dating thing, paying for the first date should be the responsibility of the person that asked for the date in the first place. That said, I will absolutely offer to pay for every date all the time forever.
im with u with the boy paying first. I will pay for every other date but the first. It's not like I'm going to get all mad if I had to pay for the first date, but to me a boy paying first is a sign of a true gentleman
I am pretty old school when it comes to treating the ladies on dates; I think the ladies work VERY hard to look so good for us guys. And I think treating the ladies to the date is the least you can do, but it never hurts to offer to take the bill.
Yay! Reading this answered my question before I even had to make a comment, and for some reason I'm now choosing to write a comment about not having to write a comment because that's just how I roll!
When it comes to money, I think it's easy to go with Pay Your Own Way! It's simple, fair, and easy. If one wants to treat the other, that's their choice.
As a gentleman, I always pay for the first date, and always hold open doors. I usually don't let a woman think of paying until I'm friend-zoned or we are official, and even then I try to put in a majority of the bill.
And it's awesome that you have your own opinion - even if it's different than mine. You totally don't have to pay if you don't want to - that's just how I like to do things.
Do a part 2 meg!! Love these videos. Always so helpful :D. I hope u talk about girls you've dated in the future, instead of always referring to guys you've dated
i say the payment on the first date is whoever invites who. I mean, if the guy/girl asks you out then he should obvs pay, no doubt about it, but if the girl/guy asks you out then it's only fair for them to pay. They're the one who wants you to be there and should treat you as such.
loved her answers, and for the record never date if you don't have A. a JOB.and B. A CAR.... the reason to taking someone out is to have fun and to enjoy each others company,there are so many fun and creative things you can do, not everything should be about money, but yea a guy should be able to take care of the girl/check the same way a girl should offer to do the same, but if money is the issue, theres your real problem
I think you're reading too far into it. I just think it's a polite step. Like I said in the video, guys shouldn't pay all the time - that's silly - but I was raised that it's just polite for the guy to pay first. If you don't want to, that's totally okay - do what feels right to you.
Didn't know Meg can sing like that, lovely voice)) And a phrase "That's just meee..." [4:19] explane that all !!! - Of course because of u! - You brilliant in every way, Meg!))))
100% honesty here. i couldnt stand you on source fed. I dont know why and its more me than you. but this video. this video. It humanized you in my eyes and i respect that. cant wait to see your next video on any one of your channels.
You have amazing insight / opinions on dating and such, maybe that's from experience or just general knowledge. Love all your answers but one really stood out for me. I'm glad you feel that it isn't the guy responsibility to pay all the time. I agree with the first date guy paying because I feel old fashion still hits home, sadly I was in a relationship before where I paid 90% of the time because she'd "get the next one" (never really did).
Texting: you don't know what's happening to the other person. Let it be, or treat it like email. Dating: Being yourself as confidently as you can possibly muster is usually the best way to find a good mate. Yoda beanies: I'd rock it. Interracial dating: This was settled ages ago. Date who you want. Race/Religion/Caste/social standing/income bracket means a whole lot less than if you'll dedicate your heart and soul into a relationship. Fate: No. That which you manifest is before you.
Hey Meg! I loved your advice in the video. I'm a big guy with a pretty forward personality and jovial sense of humor. I liken myself to Steve Zaragoza. I have to say, I totally agree with your stance on guys paying for the first (and subsequent first few) date(s) and being all-around chivalrous. To me, that's not even a dating thing, it's just a proper manners thing that I think guys should do for ladies. I also totally agree that communication is key.
The Sailor Moon theme is totally stuck in my head. Thank you Meg Turney! But, ugh, in case your not familiar with my brand of humor, I was conveying borderline sarcasm. It may still need a little work though.
I'm a twenty year old guy, and I have to be honest, I like paying for dates, I would be more than happy to pay for every date. It's not like an attempt to impress someone, If I enjoy that persons company, I feel like that's better than splitting the bill or having them pay. I think it's just a way of showing my appreciation.
Aaaah those are really cute ask out methods! Thank you for the texting advice I get really self-conscious and I know responding right away would be a stupid reason not to like someone but I generally have my phone around and will respond right back if I do and I feel stupid when other people take an age. I feel like they don't want to talk.
I will admit, one time I ran into a girl that insisted on paying for the first date, and it really threw me off. It actually made me very uncomfortable during the date to the point that I started to not like the girl during the date. I have no problem letting girls pay for any dates they want to after the first, but I guess I'm a little bit old school and like to pay for the first one.
I really take to heart what you said about interracial dating. I just started dating this girl a few weeks ago (online but soon to meet up) and its been great so far. The only problem is that my mom always told me growing up not to bring home a black girl, which my current girlfriend happens to be. But i feel the color of someones skin doesnt matter, its the person under the skin thats important. Im just afraid my moms gonna be judgmental when i bring her home to meet the family
I learned something that solves any qualm like different beliefs. People are different, therefore anyone can believe/experience different outcomes in life.
I agree with you on paying for the first date. I was brought up the same way. That is just me. From there usually I bounce between what to pay for. Like one cover dinner the other cover the movie/activity after the first date.
I think whoever asked for the date, should pay. If you ask me out, I expect you to pay. It would be silly for me to ask someone out and then expect them to pay. I asked if I could take them out. I didn't ask them to buy my meal.
So many people hate on Meg and I don't get it. She is such a nice, amazing person. She is honestly hilarious. I hate it when I see comments on Sourcefed where people say that "Meg Sucks" or anything like it. I love everyone on the Sourcefed team, but Meg has to be my favorite. She is wonderful.
You're right - it's not logical. I'm not basing my life off of it; I just think it's a nice idea. I don't accept it as fact. I just think it would be cool if there was one person to be with and people got what they deserved.
Meg, you are such a beautiful person. I wish you all the good things in life. I also wish that one day you can fill in that dolls other eye with your goal. Would love to see more videos of you playing Dance Dance while in Japan. That was the highlight of my day seeing that.
I've been dating the same guy for 3.5 years, and he often still offers to pay for my meals and stuff - but i sometimes pay for his too. Give and take, friends. Give and take.
As a guy, I always pay on the first date no matter, and always open the door for a woman. Even when going to the car, I always open the car door too. It's just a nice thing to do.
It's always up to the person who did the asking out to pay on the first date, that's gender neutral, absolutely. After that, well, as long as no one pays all the time, just come up with a system that you're both genuinely happy with.
Gosh, that's so funny you said that meg... that's so nice when a girl is willing to pay after the first date... As a guy I'll still pay most of the time, but the fact that the girl is even willing to pay is a really refreshing thing in a relationship 8)
Having been raised a bit more old school, I prefer to pay on the first date, if anything its a great way to avoid 1 more awkward subject when you and some other stranger at this point are both trying to impress one another :) I completely agree that one person should not pay all of the time as well. And Meg, the man voice you do when you think a guy does something irritating is hilarious!
I agree about the whole opening door and pulling the seat and paying on the first date. I think that if you are real gentlemen you would do those things all the time. Also agree on the person you are dating should offer to pay but not ending up doing it in the end because I pay for it.
For texting two times rule you were talking about. I usually text them again 10 minutes after the first text. If they don't respond, then I send another text 10 minutes after that. If they still don't respond. They I'll either wait for them to respond or I'll text them again.... like a week or two later.
I opened a car door for a girl on our first date and got bitched at for about ten minutes. She said it maid her feel helpless. I know things affect different people different ways, but I made damn sure to never do that for her again. And please do a part two, I really liked this.
Having confidence that you can do atleast one thing awesome can really help when asking someone out. If she's wearing an Assassins Creed shirt, start talking about Ezio and say you aren't as smooth as him, but you'll still try. Basically, just be yourself
Same until they forcefully reject my money or beat me to the check, I don't mind either way for the most part especially when I'm first meeting/dating a girl.
Thank you for the comment on opening doors! Last I did that for someone I got to hear that was ridiculous and that that sort of thing was long dead -- and I wasn't even out in a data!
Being a gentleman is never outdated.
Preach!
My boyfriend and I like to get separate bills and swap the receipts :D
Ever since your move, you have been glowing with energy. I like it. This clip was very natural for you, and your ease was refreshing.
Meg, we definitely want more of this. You make all of us dorks feel like we have a shot with woman so long as we keep learning from you.
Can you a dear meg about coping with a break-up? I don't think you'v done one but if you have sorry! and could someone link me :)
I started this video thinking "Meg is probably the last person to give good dating advice". It turns out that it was actually pretty good. Kudos, girl.
You literally described me in that first question, I'm crying.
Btw I love what you do at rooster teeth and I've been a long time fan. I'm just now binge watching your videos because I'm yard muffin and I didn't know you had a channel. Your amazing and I love what you do and I love you.
I wish I was your age, and I hope you read this :)
"And also if you're 12, don't do that!"
I love that so much :)
I'm glad for ladies like you that still enjoy doors being opened for them. I've always been from the belief that women appreciate doors being opened for them and I also believe that it will get them to smile and anything to make a lady smile is worth it's weight in gold!
Meg is like that girl you spend your whole life growing up with and become best friends with....and then realize you love her when you're older.
I agree. I also think you can split the bill on the other dates and you can also pay the entire bill once in awhile depending on your financial status.
Most of those were excellent questions, and I think it is safe to say that we all enjoy your well thought out answers Meg. So yes part two please.
1) Your sweet new hairdo is really awesome.
2) I love your Q&As. I vote for Part 2!
3) I think first date should always be everyone pays for themselves. That way no one feels like they owe anyone anything. It's a good way to keep the "getting to know you" phase less stressful.

I absolutely love love love these videos where its just you chatting about certain topics. You should do these more, because you're beautiful and I'd honestly watch you talk about anything x
In that case, I think whoever asked should pay or whoever wants to pay should pay. If I ask a girl out, I'll totally be prepared to pay.
Am glad that I wasn't the only one that noticed! Both Trish and Meg are so cute when they do it!! The cute part is that they both do it with the same voice tone .
I appreciate you lack of judgement based on my opinion! Ironically, yours was the most open response to my comment yet! Love your work. Stay wonderful!
A lethal combination of a busy work schedule and being too lazy to go out in my free time.
The person who asks the other on the date usually is the one that is supposed to pay, but paying for yourselves is also perfectly okay.
I just enjoy watching you express your point of view on random topics because you do it so elequently. When it applies to my life, like this video, it just makes me very happy :D
im gonna say. meg... you are the bomb. loving how truthful you are.
I think you are completely right on about everything except one item. I like the way you think.
On the dating thing, paying for the first date should be the responsibility of the person that asked for the date in the first place.
That said, I will absolutely offer to pay for every date all the time forever.
im with u with the boy paying first. I will pay for every other date but the first. It's not like I'm going to get all mad if I had to pay for the first date, but to me a boy paying first is a sign of a true gentleman
I am pretty old school when it comes to treating the ladies on dates; I think the ladies work VERY hard to look so good for us guys. And I think treating the ladies to the date is the least you can do, but it never hurts to offer to take the bill.
Never apologize for your opinion. We are listening to this because we want to hear your thoughts.
Finding out you have your own channel outside of SourceFed is probably the greatest discovery I've made on YT yet.
Yay! Reading this answered my question before I even had to make a comment, and for some reason I'm now choosing to write a comment about not having to write a comment because that's just how I roll!
When it comes to money, I think it's easy to go with Pay Your Own Way! It's simple, fair, and easy. If one wants to treat the other, that's their choice.
As a gentleman, I always pay for the first date, and always hold open doors. I usually don't let a woman think of paying until I'm friend-zoned or we are official, and even then I try to put in a majority of the bill.
I believe in alternating paying on dates after you've become comfortable with each other.
And it's awesome that you have your own opinion - even if it's different than mine. You totally don't have to pay if you don't want to - that's just how I like to do things.
Meg is so different when we see her doin her own thang i'm glad i subscribed
If memory serves, it was actually Steve! Trish and I just started doing it back to him and it caught on.
Do a part 2 meg!! Love these videos. Always so helpful :D. I hope u talk about girls you've dated in the future, instead of always referring to guys you've dated
i say the payment on the first date is whoever invites who. I mean, if the guy/girl asks you out then he should obvs pay, no doubt about it, but if the girl/guy asks you out then it's only fair for them to pay. They're the one who wants you to be there and should treat you as such.
Dat finger wag tho
I feel like this was Dear Meg and Trish. Not a bad thing!
I expect to open every door, pull out every chair, pay for dinner... I just have to go on a date...
So this isn't some weird online crush sort for thing, but Meg's got the best damn smile on the Internet
loved her answers, and for the record never date if you don't have A. a JOB.and B. A CAR.... the reason to taking someone out is to have fun and to enjoy each others company,there are so many fun and creative things you can do, not everything should be about money, but yea a guy should be able to take care of the girl/check the same way a girl should offer to do the same, but if money is the issue, theres your real problem
your a lovely singer Meg! And this video will hopefully help me in the future, so Thank You.
Yes please do more of these. Wish I would seen the tweet asking to ask questions. Hope I see it next time.
Totally agree with u Meg on the text timing.
I laughed so hard at 'there's an ultimate fighting champion for everyone.'
I think you're reading too far into it. I just think it's a polite step. Like I said in the video, guys shouldn't pay all the time - that's silly - but I was raised that it's just polite for the guy to pay first. If you don't want to, that's totally okay - do what feels right to you.
Didn't know Meg can sing like that, lovely voice))

100% honesty here. i couldnt stand you on source fed. I dont know why and its more me than you. but this video. this video. It humanized you in my eyes and i respect that. cant wait to see your next video on any one of your channels.
The harsh truth rule would work great on the last one.Both parties can lay a harsh truth on each other so neither would feel guilty
You have amazing insight / opinions on dating and such, maybe that's from experience or just general knowledge. Love all your answers but one really stood out for me. I'm glad you feel that it isn't the guy responsibility to pay all the time.

amazing!! great answers def need a part too!
The way to Meg's heart. Breaking arms...now we know.
every guy watching this video will end up being megs perfect guy. thumbs up if agree!
I learned something that solves any qualm like different beliefs. People are different, therefore anyone can believe/experience different outcomes in life.
I found about Meg from the Fine Bros...and I think she is hilarious!
Keep doing what you do(and be silly...in the funny way;)
I hope this turns into a permanent series on your channel!! Do part 2 and 3 and 4 and more
I agree with you on paying for the first date. I was brought up the same way. That is just me. From there usually I bounce between what to pay for. Like one cover dinner the other cover the movie/activity after the first date.

Great video! Hope we get more videos like this and the new haircuts looking lovely Meg :)
Selena!! How random when you made the music sound the song totally popped in my head.
It really weirds me out when people pay for me but if they really insist, I'll be sure to get the next one.
and the Queen Shenequa "matter of fact" head-move at 4:16. Love you, Meg!
As a guy, I always pay on the first date no matter, and always open the door for a woman. Even when going to the car, I always open the car door too. It's just a nice thing to do.
Texas here also meg. I totally agree with me opening car doers and pulling out chairs an paying on at least the first 3 dates
It's always up to the person who did the asking out to pay on the first date, that's gender neutral, absolutely. After that, well, as long as no one pays all the time, just come up with a system that you're both genuinely happy with.
loving meg's new hair cut suits her a lot
I don't mind paying for a date but when someone expects me to pay that is a huge turn off!!
Gosh, that's so funny you said that meg... that's so nice when a girl is willing to pay after the first date... As a guy I'll still pay most of the time, but the fact that the girl is even willing to pay is a really refreshing thing in a relationship 8)
meg probably just survives on free first date dinners =3
Having been raised a bit more old school, I prefer to pay on the first date, if anything its a great way to avoid 1 more awkward subject when you and some other stranger at this point are both trying to impress one another :) I completely agree that one person should not pay all of the time as well. And Meg, the man voice you do when you think a guy does something irritating is hilarious!
Paaaaaart 2!!!!! Nice to see a video up from you!
Several times in this video I just wanted to hug you and say "YOU GET ME MEG!".
I agree about the whole opening door and pulling the seat and paying on the first date. I think that if you are real gentlemen you would do those things all the time. Also agree on the person you are dating should offer to pay but not ending up doing it in the end because I pay for it.

If they still don't respond. They I'll either wait for them to respond or I'll text them again.... like a week or two later.
I smiled the whole way through this video!
I agree, the guy should totally pay for the 1st date. The rest of the dates the girl can pay for the cab or gas while the guy pays for dinner.
I opened a car door for a girl on our first date and got bitched at for about ten minutes. She said it maid her feel helpless. I know things affect different people different ways, but I made damn sure to never do that for her again. And please do a part two, I really liked this.
I love how Steve's, NO NO shake has rubbed off on you. XD
All I ask is that they offer to pay, it makes a great impression!
Having confidence that you can do atleast one thing awesome can really help when asking someone out. If she's wearing an Assassins Creed shirt, start talking about Ezio and say you aren't as smooth as him, but you'll still try. Basically, just be yourself
LOL the texting part hit home LMFAO! It's soooo fucking true. People make it way more complicated than it should be.
To me, I think the person who pays is the person who asks the person out.
People putting up with each other's shit= perfect love
Same until they forcefully reject my money or beat me to the check, I don't mind either way for the most part especially when I'm first meeting/dating a girl.
That Gundam kit is a beauty.
Thank you for the comment on opening doors! Last I did that for someone I got to hear that was ridiculous and that that sort of thing was long dead -- and I wasn't even out in a data!
