I'm as feminist/women's lib/independent as they come, BUT, I would be a bit turned off. Not because I expect a guy to pay for my dinner. When I ask someone out (even if I call up a friend and ask her to meet me for dinner) I pay. That includes if I ask someone to go see a movie with me, or whatever. It's how I am. If HE asked ME, I would hope that he would share my mentality and offer to pay. It's not to say I expect the reverse, but it shows common courtesy.

That made no sense.
