Meh. I wouldn't be overly impressed by the approach, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker. Maybe he just wants to make sure he takes you someplace you'll enjoy.

I would give him a few options of things I'd like to do: miniature golf/bowling, describe a restaurant I've wanted to try or that I think he may enjoy, a hike, a comedy show...

And then I would let him choose. He can choose something in his price range, or at least his choice would give me more insight into who he is.

Some women can consider a guy so controlling, demanding, bossy, not a gentleman, etc. If he commands what will happen in the day. Others will consider the guy weak, lame, too nicey, etc. if he is all about asking her what she wants to eat, where she wants to go, what movie to see, etc. What do you girls really want?

Come on girls, there is a 99.9% chance you won't spend a penny on the date as it is accustomed so enjoy the day as it comes regardless of him planning it all on paper or considering your opinion. Be thankful and enjoy the ride.

Maybe I am just used to the guy planning the date lol. What do you guys think?

Why should it matter who picks what you do on a first date etc.Just as to why should it matter who calls who first after a date.

That's a red flag to me. Sorry. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't go or give him a chance but it doesn't bode well to me.

Probably because I was with a man who had no idea how to plan anything, ever for himself. If I wanted to do it, I had to plan it. If he wanted to do it, I had to plan it. Now, I'm good at planning and doing but just once in a while it would have been nice to see him do the doing and planning. Seems to me if it starts that way, it will continue to be that way.

I'd throw the ball back in court by saying something like "Surprise me!"

Totally agree. Seems like he's a perfect gentleman and is in for whatever you want to do.

Besides all the things that have been mentioned, what else should he as a man/gentleman do?

Besides which things? So many of your posts mention showering the woman with gifts and attention while she does nothing.
