If the date goes well and you're planning on having one or more dates in the future, the person who initiated the date should pay. Then on the second date, the other person pays. And so on and so forth with both parties exchanging treating each other each time they go out. If there's a love triangle, good luck keeping track of whose turn it is today.

If the date goes poorly but no one made an ass out of themselves, split the check and cut your losses. If the inviting party was a tool, they get to pay and the invitee gets to ghost them. And if the invitee is the problem, the inviter gets to take a loss and pay for both meals because the invitee clearly isn't going to clean up their act and pull out their pocketbook in the last five minutes to make amends.

For me it's not so much a his or hers deal, it's more of... If you're inviting someone to have an experience with you, you should be prepared to pay the way for the two of you. Inviting someone on a date but expecting them to pay makes you the problem.
 
Did..... did Chopper just say the woman should pay on the date?

I'm going to Hell, I know.

This is exactly how it should be or discuss it before hand just like for example "where going on a trip it cost 20$ each" mature communication is key to good relationships. No expectations from both sides goes a long way.
