Like you said, if you can't afford to find a cheaper place to have a date in the first place.

I will say that when I've started regularly seeing a guy I've insisted on splitting. I have two brothers and I wouldn't be thrilled for either of them to date a girl that insisted they pay her way for everything after they had been dating a while. At all. I've got sympathy for the dudes. (Or if I'm dating a guy that always wants to do dinner and a movie it's acceptable for me to get the bill one date and him the next.)
I think I mentioned above that after a few dates, I'd feel uncomfortable NOT chipping in or at least offering to do so. But, this was a first date where he invited me and selected the location. The least he could have done was paid. But, it's no mind, as I was not into him for other reasons--this was just the last nail in the coffin.

I feel like that's an indication that he isn't very socially aware. Or polite. Neeeeexxxtttt.
