I wouldn't to that far, but I would say that a man taking charge of plans and offering to pay during the first few dates demonstrates how serious he is about the relationship.  If budget is an issue, a guy can plan some pretty fun first few dates without spending a ton of money - its effort and the spirit of generosity (of time or money) that are important.  Once I've been wooed, then I'm happy to pitch in equally (though I always do some during the first few dates, whether with the planning or offering to pay).

I don't get the worry about creating expectations if a woman doesn't pay her half during the first few dates - if you don't think that you may want to sleep the the guy at some point in time, why are you going out with him?  If I felt that way, then I would definitely offer to go dutch, but then I would be friend zoning the guy.[/quote]
