I'm really glad I've never had this problem. We've always just agreed to split things or, I get this one, he'll pick up the next one. From the first date (I paid for dinner, he paid for baseball game tickets and a beer at the game) to now in our first home, we're just agreeable and flexible and make sure things are paid for fairly. We've never disagreed about money. It's not worth being frustrated over beer money.
If that's not the kind of date you're interested in though I can see being disappointed and not calling him again. It's also not worth going on a date with someone whose ideals don't match yours.
This. The first time we went out, he paid. Second time, he paid (he insisted). I think it was about the third date where I put my foot down that I'm paying for this one and that I'm the type who likes things relatively even, and he said he liked that. His last girlfriend took him out on HIS birthday and made him pay for both of them. Needless to say, that ended and I was a much better catch
