Whenever I ask someone to have a date with me, then I expect to pay
The one who asks should offer to pay the bill. But other should definitely offer to pay their half.
To me it should be the gentleman guess you might call me "old fashion"
The man. Regardless of who asked.
Me, because I'm stubborn that way. I do things like excuse myself to the washroom and instead go find the server or host/ess or maître d'hôtel or whomever and discreetly slip that person my credit card.
That said, I've raised my boys to always always always pay for whatever. The gentleman pays, period, full stop.
ETA: With a same-sex couple, my understanding is that the individual who proposed the date, pays for the date.

My husband and I would go Dutch. No reason why one or the other have to pay.
We are married 22 years now.

Well this one is gonna age me, but here goes... IMHO (and the way I work) is that the guy asks the woman out and as such, pays for the dinner or date, whatever it is. The lady may throw hints at wanting to go out and what she wants to do, but the guy does the asking and the paying. The woman may even have to go so far as having a friend tell the guy to ask her out (if he's really blind to her subtleties!).
Like I said, I come from waaay back!
Whoever does the asking pays.
Personally I like to pay but I am not above letting the woman pay if she so wishes
Men has to pay, no question about it.
If I invited I pay a no brainer...but I always loved it when she would offer to pay. I always smiled and told her how much I appreciate the offer but I would always pay.
The one that asks, pays. If you meet from an online app, pay your own way.
Some guys won’t let women pay. In that case, I used to let them rather than make a big deal about it.
I agree with above no sense in making a big deal about it why ruin a perfectly good evening
