Split and trade off who pays for what and when. Is only one person pays for everything all the time, it sounds controlling and very one-sided. Also, the stereotype of men always footing the bill doesn't take into account that it's not always the guy who makes more or is in a better financial situation. My wife makes more than me, and she's been the higher income earner for the entire duration of our marriage, so I'm not 'oh no I'm a loser because I can't afford the things she can'. We split based on how much I can spend vs. how much she can spend. Get to know who you're in a relationship with, it'll help out a lot.

Traditionally the man. But I see no problem with a woman doing it if she asked the guy out. I always pay. Though I do appreciate when she offers. It's just polite. I'd say about 50% of the women I've dated have offered. But honestly I don't know why some people make a deal out of this. If I don't have enough to pay for both of us I'm not asking her out. Of the 100 things I'm think on the date. Who's paying is the last thing I want to be focusing on. And if that's a person's focus they probably shouldn't be dating. That's my personal opinion.
I think the guy should always offer to pay. It is good manners and if someone takes advantage of it shame on them. Generally, for me, if I decided I wasn’t interested in him I wouldn’t let him pay and I would pay for myself, but if I liked the guy then I would let him. I don’t want to feel obligated to someone I’m not interested in.
Whoever invites should be the one paying for dates however, if the Man insists in paying I would let him pay for it.

A man should offer to pay for it but a woman should offer to pay half of it out of respect to be honest. A good woman would at least offer it as a token of gratitude. A real man would appreciate the offer but decides to decline the offer and pay for the dinner himself
1st date - whoever idea it is to go on a date.
2nd date onwards - split, unless one or the other offers to pay in full - but this should not be expected.Everyone should pay for himself from the start, as most women have jobs nowadays.
I do like to be treated on the very first date 😅 but after that I like to always do 50/50
If it's a mutual affection than you both pitch in in proportion to your ability. Otherwise the one pays who have (greater) feelings for the other.
First date, the man. Afterwards, I'd say the man but maybe more 50/50 as well.
Whoever requests the date should be prepared to pay
