This is my first time being asked out EVER by a girl (this is a new girl by the way). Ok, ok. How does this work when the girl asks out the guy? I really prefer to pay on the first date. Is that still OK?

The LEAST you can do is pay for everything! I always pay for everything unless the girl absolutely insists on paying half, I don't even understand how some dudes can have a woman pay for everything on a first date, I would feel like a total loser

Why?
She asked you out.
You can still be the gentleman and offer to pay.
But don't be patronizing or condescending.
If she wants to pay, let her.
You deserve a treat, too.
p.s. If you order the lobster, you have to put out.
lol j/k. i think you should still offer to pay her share as well, however, since it's a first date don't go overboard at some crazy expensive steakhouse. coffee or a drink at a low key dive bar should be fine, IMHO.

That sounds like a personal problem. It is a known rule that the person inviting the other person out on a date takes care of the tab. I offer to pay when they invite me out but 9/10 they always take care of everything. May be if you stop dating losers then you wont feel like one. *kidding*

Way to go! Enjoy!

It's perfectly OK, trust me. She had enough guts to ask you out, but that doesn't mean she wants to be the man all the time, and if it does, you probably don't want that...

On many things, inviter pays, but reward her for her boldness by paying for the date.

These days, it is perfectly acceptable for the girl to pay if she does the inviting. Imho, you should offer to pay when the tab comes, but if she insists on paying, let her do so and don't argue about it.
If you want to avoid any awkwardness when the bill comes, then talk to her at the beginning of the date and say something like, "I'd like this to be my treat." That gives her the opportunity to say "okay" or to say that she prefers to pay since she extended the invitation. Perhaps that would be the best time to discuss it, so that you won't worry about it during the date.
Go, and have a great time!
(Btw, I'm a female.)
