I think you did the right thing by walking out. You made a point to her that you will not accept all the crap that she spewed.
Of course you made the mistake of making it sound like all women do this, but we don't. If I were to order the "most expensive" meal in the menu, I would expect to buy it... Heck, I would assume that on the first dates when we don't know each other at all, and neither of us would essentially owe each other anything we WOULD be paying for our own halves, weather it be dinner, drink, movie or such things. Maybe later on we could switch on who pays for what. I only find it fair. If he pays for me one time, why shouldn't I pay something for him another?

not all women go out on a first date with a guy their not interested to begin with. and what this woman did by going out with you and then ordering the most expensive meal only to tell you that she doesn't see you two going anywhere is pretty cheap. I think you did the right thing by paying for your meal and then leaving her at the restaurant to pay for hers. good for you. I'd think of other things to do when going out on a date like maybe coffee at a coffee shop or out for a drink or to some kind of fun outing so you can get to know each other. it shouldn't have to cost a lot of money just to hang out with someone and get to know them.
You have a date with one woman who does this, and you assume we all do? Smh
It's fine to have her pay for half of it, and I don't see anything particularly wrong with what you did (given the way she behaved). Advice for next time is to have inexpensive initial dates, like coffee, ice cream, free shows, etc.
That is your bad, not hers. Not every 1st date is going to work out
Next time take a woman to a place where the priciest item on the menu is still something you can afford without sweating the outcome of the date. Save the more expensive places for when you are in a more committed relationship and she has proved her worth to you.
I wanna give you a high five, that's great lol sounds like she just wanted a free meal. Good job, I'm curious what was her reaction?

I'd buy something I enjoy eating no matter the price. If someone was paying for me I'd order something cheaper but to my taste
They do it to show off make the guy think they're used to buying expensive stuffIt's a sh*t test. Plain and simple. But you seem to have a good solution.
To use you, of course.
"I got up, paid for my half of the meal, and left her at the restaurant." - Nice.Professional daters, they're not interested, and they have no class.
To see if you're cheap or not.
