When you ask a lady on a date - you are expected (by my standards) to compliment the woman by paying for all services that are incurred during the evening. Yes, she might want to offer to favor you by her money, but you should never oblige.
I was asked to attend a movie with a kind sir this evening, however, I have learned my lesson to not oblige him again on a date. Let me tell you why. Also, let me help myself to remember he may not be such a kind sir afterall:
1. He went to get tickets to a "pre-screening" of a movie and thus, did not pay for the movie tickets. Cheapskate.
2. He came to my house to pick me up, and therefore proceeded to ask me to drive; seeing that his car was dirty. Are you serious?
3. During previews he asked me how I afford to go out all the time? I simply replied, just because I go out all the time (which is not really even the case) doesn't mean that I pay for everything. He said, don't you go Dutch? I was unfamiliar with the term, "Go Dutch" (let me familiarize you with the term = split the bill). And so our conversation from there was basically - he finds that appalling when a girl does not offer to pay for half the bill on the first date. That is a sure sign for him that the girl will expect more. I beg to differ. If you ask me, out on a date, I expect you to carry the weight of the tab. Stand up and be a man. Would you please? Not that I am saying that I think that men are solely responsible for financing a date (Which by the way - I have offered to pay and have paid on occasion, I don't have anything wrong with paying. It's the idea I think.
4. I drive us back to my house and he sits down on my chair and says, after sniffing my furniture, "Nice vinyl.". Are you serious? Who are you, mister? Do you have tact? Let me spell that for you.

I will familiarize you with that term: acute sensitivity to what is proper and appropriate in dealing with others, including the ability to speak or act without offending.
Well, I do feel a bit better now, getting that off my chest. And when I say that, I'm meaning all the thoughts, not him. Thank goodness. I think I did a kind gesture by sitting by the door, gracefully hinting him, it's late.... I need to go to sleep.
