I haven't read this entire thread, but I just wanted to give you some advice Stephen.
Usually who made the date pays, however, if the other wants to pay, that's fine. I'd make sure that it's even and you're not her sugar daddy.
When I was still dating, which wasn't too long ago, LONG STORY sometimes I'd be taken out and the guy wouldn't have a lot of money and I'd offer to pay for dinner if he paid for the movie or vice versa.
There were many times when the guy asked me out I'd tell them I had no money and I think sometimes that would turn them off if they heard it too much and they thought I was using them. However, if they were a gentleman, they wouldn't expect me to pay all of the time, BUT even a gentleman should let me pay from time to time if I offer.
I hope this all makes sense. paying all of the time can be a sweet thing and it can also look like a sexist pig thing, it's a delicate balance and depends on the woman.
