Seems that that was his bad. He suggested dinner without making it clear that it was to be Dutch. As the OP said, he didn't have to go that far; he could have suggested drinks/appetizers, and chat. He could have suggested art gallery-hopping, for that matter (free). Instead, he went for overkill, and suggested drinks, dinner and a movie (-ish).

We'll go for dinner to see how things go.
Then for some social lubricant
Then...maybe we're too tired for a movie and you can just come back to my place for some netflix.

He suggested dinner because he said he was going to be hungry. He was coming straight from work and he wanted to eat, so I guess that's why he suggested it.
Anyway, he is pretty cute so this kind of sucks. lol
Attention cheap broke women of CD: make sure you find yourself a willing simp to string along long enough for him to pick up the tab...else you may find yourself creating a thread to whine about the "cheapskate" who stuck you with your half of the bill... waaahh ! ...lol

We all go through some tough lessons financially. When I was his age I was still broke but eventually learned to budget more, create an emergency fund and invest money in a Roth IRA. It doesn't take a high paying job to accomplish these basic things.
I think my point is he has other career and financial milestones to meet before going on dates and seeking companionship.
