If it's a nice place we split. If we're meeting for coffee and a snack I pick it up. 

Not trying to be cheap I just think that's fair for a first date.

I'm with you, I'm trying to move away from the mentality i was raised with, that men always covers the check, and I don't mind really, but over time it is easy to spot how your nice gesture turns against you by some - becomes expectation, responsibility, people ordering pricey items with no intention to pay etc

i don't get satisfaction from money, but it's still important to not allow others to take clear advantage of you
