Fair or not, sexist or not, as a man you are expected to take care of the expenses. You'll have to think of creative ways to entertain her and stay within your budget and hope she sticks around for a while like that or maybe you'll get lucky enough to date a girl who will be totally fine contributing to dating expenses since the very first date and continue to show interest to see you. Rare but not impossible.
Well I'm not a man but apparently it doesn't matter what sex you are on CD, if you broke, don't date.

Not really. As a woman you are not really expected to take care of expenses. Maybe after the relationship has been formalized you might consider trying to offer to split the tip or something but that's about it.

As creepy as expecting a man to take care of all expenses simply because he is a guy, right? But yeah, I am with you. I don't see why there are all these gender expectations when it comes to dating.

The person who does the asking covers the expenses.
For those who are doing the whole dinner / drinks thing, no wonder you are disappointed with dating.
Yes. Men have to make sure about that and hopefully his date is fine about it too.

And we all know how does the asking most, if not all, of the time: men. In other words, men pay. It may depend on the culture too. I've gone on first dates where the girl happily takes the initiative to participate with dating expenses regardless of who asked who. It's a matter of preference. Finding a woman like that may be rare but hey that's what I like .
