Hi, I'm Eric from South Korea.
We have a traditional belief that guys should buy foods for girls on a date.
I will have a blind date with a girl tonight and I am not sure if I should pay for dinner.
What do you guys think?
Eh it’s a blind date.
Here is what I would do. See how the date is going. If you’re hitting it off and looks like Hyuna then pay for the date and cross your fingers and toes she wants another date.
If she’s a total grump a dump you can split the check

Be prepared to pay, but personally if she offers to split or separate checks, I wouldn’t turn it down. If she orders a ridiculous amount of price of food, that is definitely separate checks territory.
If that's the way it goes in Korea then you already know the answer. If you are in the USA its also expected for you to take care of a girl's expenses, making the plans, courting and romancing her, taking initiative, etc. That's what I also did when I was studying in the USA. In Japan it was different though. It was more of a mutual thing where both of us would take initiative, contribute to expenses, court and romance each other, and so on. This was since the first date and on. I also dated in Korea and it was a mutual thing. Not sure if things change if a non-Asian person is in the picture.
I paid for her dinner on the first date since the date went nicely.
Some days later, I asked her out and, as a result, I have been going out with her since then.
If you offer to take somebody out on a date, you pay. It is okay to discuss plans not necessarily to see if she will split the cost, but to see how she responds.
and don't forget to get consent before you hanky panky

Good to hear OP. But remember, if you are here in the states (USA), men and women are equals now. So she might fork over the money next time.

Good advice. Get consent via text messaging(just conversation). You need traceability.

Yup, there was a college kid in my state that got falsely accused of rape. Got kicked out of school, name dragged through the mud in the newspapers, and put on trial. They wanted to give him 20 years. The accuser provided compelling testimony (lies). It was only through text evidence that he got acquitted.
