I feel like it is the man's responsibility to pay for dinner during the first date. After a few more then it can be split evenly; I don't even mind taking the bill if it's a place that I recommend. This wasn't an expensive dinner, either--it was Mexican. If you can't afford to do that, then just limit the first date to drinks or coffee.
Needless to say, I deleted his contact information from my phone the next day.

I agree with you. At the very least, if he wanted to split the check you should have known that before going out.
I think it's easier, particularly after you're an established "couple," to mix it up in terms of paying for stuff. But at the outset, it's got to be me. I always say 'hey, I gotta know that you know that I got this.' (my girlfriend knows this is my tortured explanation of "man law" to her).
