Like I was saying, I'll pay for the first date, but do you think it's rude for a girl to order a lot of high end food/drinks from the menu if the dude is paying for the date? On your first date what did you spend/order? Would you date her again if she ordered high end on you? I'm just trying to see if I'm looking into this too hard.

Dude, you knew before you even arrived at the restaurant that you couldn't afford to feed another stomach. If you have to balk at the bill, then you couldn't afford it before the food was even ordered. You told her to order what she wanted, and based on what you told folks you spent, it wasn't an expensive restaurant. Probably to you it was. Dinner at an average restaurant, and a movie for two is pretty much around the price you told folks you paid. Dating is about collecting data, nothing more, nothing less, and you can do that at Wendy's. Take her somewhere YOU can afford next time.

ETA: to answer your question, what's acceptable for spending on a first date is entirely up to the person paying for the date. Whatever floats your boat (what you can afford).
