That's an option
There's the other option of her leaving behind the misogynistic history of male/female relationships and joining the 21st century.

How is my expectation any more obnoxious than the expectation that the male finance all the dates?

We've been dating for a month now, he paid for all the past dates.

Of course I said I'd be more than happy to, but still. I'm having mixed feelings about this.

What would your reaction be?
Oh the horror! There goes your latte money for the week....

I know a married couple that pay their own way every time they go out together. Bizarre but true.

It's called gender equality - I thought that was all the rage these days.

Agree completely. This is 2013. Pay for your own food.

You're thinking deep down: "But it's not supposed to be this way! "

From experience if a woman is really interested in you she will pay on the 3rd date

Whomever does the "asking" for the date pays. If YOU ask him to take you to a concert, or out to dinner, or something, then fine, you can pay, but if it is his idea, he foots the bill.
