Always treat for the first date, even if she insists (most girls don't press you too hard about taking their money  ) if she really pushes just come out and say, hey i would really like to pay for the this because that makes it feel like a real date. (plus then you know you are on a date and not going to be pidgeon holed into the living-death-friend-category

Okay, I disagree. You make women sound like a bunch of losers with nothing going on in their lives, so that they have hours on end to sit around and discuss some guy that they don't even know very well. I have never behaved like that in my life. If I had a date with some guy, I would tell my friends, sure, but I could not possibly care less whether they had anything to say about him (unless they knew him to be a rapist or something truly evil). I certainly would not allow a date to be destroyed by a friend "going ewwww." There are women out there who have lives and better things to do than discuss a date, and who are independent and make their own decisions without being completely dependent upon and influenced by their friends.
Also, if a woman wants to pay half, what's the problem? It would be a HUGE turnoff to me to be on a date and have the guy raise a big stink about splitting the costs. To me, that's sexist and probably a warning sign that he might try to argue with me about other things that I want to do. A date is no more real because a guy pays.
