I think if you ask someone out to a specific place, you should pay, because you can't assume that the person you invite can afford where you take them.
IF you INVITE someone somewhere, then it should be expected that you are going to pay.
If I INVITE someone somewhere, I expect to take care of them. And if they INVITE me somewhere, I expect to be taken care of. Isn't that just basic etiquette?
When you invite someone, you are responsible for them.

There's generous and there's been outright greedy. First few dates i would pay for everything but after that i'd expect things to be going each way. If the person couldn't afford it then yes i would gladly pay but if its some woman who has a Job but still expects things to be paid for her a few months into a reltionship then un-huh ain't happening. There's a difference about a first date then a few months into a reltionship and been a doormat instead of been a equal reltionship.
