Ugh, red flag indeed. That's really cheap and inconsiderate behavior. Has she offered to pay for any dates herself? Expecting you to pay for all the dates is pretty tacky, but not contributing or even talking to you about it in a group dinner is just wrong.

Even in different departments, I would be cautious about dating co-workers. I have seen too many people burned. But thats not what the thread is really about.

I think you need to definately set some ground rules if your going to continue dating her.

my job isnt going to last more than another 6-7 months because of outsourcing. This isnt a serious committed relationship or anything right now, and im not even sure its someone that i would even want to pursue a relationship with

I think if you spend time with her again you should be upfront that you expect her to contribute to the date. And yes, it is a red flag that you two aren't serious and she didn't contribute toward a group outing. She may just be using you (and others) to pay her way. Best of luck.

Oh, and if you aren't comfortable telling her directly then just ask the waitress for separate checks. She should get the hint.

im not gonna spend time with her again unless she initiates it, im just gonna treat it as she isnt interested or using me or playing games with me and forget it. I'll still be professional about it but from a romantic standpoint i feel like im wasting my time

Time for you to ask her to meet you for lunch somewhere. Driving seperately.

Say.."Thanks for lunch" Then, you dash out of the resturant before the bill arrives. Wooo!!

Leave her with the bill. Is that wrong??

Yeah you definitely need to give her the Heisman maneuver. Cant stand people that feel entitled.

You should end it now.If your already having doubts a month in then it probally is only going to get worse and could possibly cause trouble at work down the road.And for her not to even mention if you were ok with paying before she left or at least letting the group know that you would be paying for is not very classy
