Being this weird about not paying would be an instant no for me. Around here it’s the norm that everyone pays for themselves on a date and even implying that someone will want you to pay for them is pretty rude. The only non-rude way to pay for the entire date is to ask for the full check when the waiter comes before the other person can ask to split it. Usually with the line “I’ll take this one, next one’s on you ;)” which doesn’t really mean that the next one’s on them but is more about the implication that there will be a next date.

You need to enter the modern world. Food expenses are real, and a date can and does destroy budgets. Dave doesn’t know if she want’s love or just dinner for her and her roommate.
An Instant no from you is a thumbs up from me cause I don’t have to drop $30 per person on you.

…can you read? I’m saying that the default is that everyone pays for themselves. Paying for someone else is a niche situation that you need to actively seek out.
