Would you be understanding if he wrote you off for not offering?
All things being equal.
If a girl did not offer, I would indeed feel that she thought she was entitled to me paying for her food/drinks/what have you. It would probably be a pretty big turn off to me, because I'm not looking for a "gold digger" if you will. I'm looking for a partner. She'll get the perks once she's shown that she is worth. And I agree that she should feel that way as well (as far as sleeping together, etc.).

You're allowed to feel that way, but not offering to pay on a first date doesn't make someone a golddigger.

Maybe not a gold digger, but definitely entitled at a minimum. Especially in a society where women earn the same. You don't get to pick and choose when to be traditional.
First of all , a first date both should assume responsibility for their own bill, not knowing what the bill will be till after the fact.
Secondly,, if the date is not going to be repeated then there is no feeling of debt one way or another.
thirdly , if the date seems to indicate that a future might be possible, then offering to pay is a good gesture of confidence.
fourthly, I'm not paying for a woman that just want's a free lunch.
