Girl doesn't offer to pay on dates?

Anonymous
I'm a bit new to the dating scene so please address me like I know nothing.

So I've recently started dating this girl. We are both 24 and recent graduates with decent jobs. Should be making roughly similar salaries, or at least in the same ballpark. However she has yet to make any offer to pay anything on dates.

The first date was to a show and to a bar afterward (I know the show is a bit fancy for a first date but how it ended up there is a long story, outside the scope of this discussion). She didn't offer to pay for her ticket. She didn't offer to but the first round of drinks since I had paid for the tickets. She didn't offer to buy the second round of drinks.

But as that was the first date, I let it slide since I have accepted that the guy usually pays for everything on that.

Then recently we went on a second date, had dinner. The bill came and she made no offer whatsoever to pay for half of it or make some sort of contribution. Its like me taking my credit card out was the natural order of things and her making a contribution wasn't something that crossed her mind.

Now I completely expect to pay for more things in dating but for her to make no effort whatsoever to pitch in annoys me a bit. It isn't like she's doing me a favor by saying yes to a date and then I have to do all the work and paying after that.

Can anyone offer any advice in a situtaion like this? what's a good way to hint at a girl pitching in on the cost without seeming cheap or poor?
