Anyone going on a first date should meet them at the restaurant, cafe, etc., have your own means of transportation and money to pay for at least half of the check.  If he offers to pay, fine but don't expect him too.  You go your way, he goes his  ad everyone is safe and not beholden to anyone.

I'd be more than suspicious if a guy wated to take me to a white tablecloth restaurant on a 1st date. That alarm would get a no thanks from  me.

Outback is probably my high dollar limit for a 1st date. And tho I've never been stuck with the bill, I do bring a cc. Just in case.

       I can't even imagine going out to dinner with some unknow mystery guy.  Not because I'd worry about the check.  I just wouldn't want to be stuck with a guy who I know I don't want to ever see again for...a dinner.  I think coffee or drinks for that first date is really how it's done today.

I always throw the let's get dinner at...... out to a guy. 

If he only wants coffee or a drink, he's either cheap & wants to see what he can get get out of you for a Starbucks? Or he's just not that interested.

A man will never treat you better than the beginning of a relationship.

I'm glad I'm old and dated under a different system. Things were much easier back then

Being the well-trained and well-bred Southern lady I am, I would simply pay the check, shake his hand, bid him good night and have the maitre'de call me a cab, and throw him out of the restaurant if he hung around and didn't get the message.  

That would settle that little fiasco.

Cute responses but I am definitely sensing a generation gap....lol

@SnowpuppyI think you are right

So odd what some people will do for a free meal.

     Well trained?    Pets get trained, not people.

In the long run, the women got off cheap by only paying for dinner.  He is no knight in shining armor that you want to build a relationship with.

Since I was very young, I have always split the check with dates, and noone has yet run away from his side of the bill.
