I have asked people (both men and women) on first dates, and paid.
Dave doesn't want to hear that.

Apparently not. He's stuck in the 1950's groove where the man always asks, the man always pays. I suspect he always paid even if she said she asked and said she was paying.

Don't get me wrong. I don't mind a bit of gallantry from time to time. Sure, it's nice if a man says "oh no, it's my treat!" But if he's going to beat you over the head with it later it's not worth it. Ahem, no, you conveniently forgot I said, "please, allow me" and refused. EGO.
