I am not a feminist (not the kind that promote women's absolute independence from anything and anyone) so I used to let the guys pay on the date. At that time, I could not have paid for myself at restaurants anyway - I was a grad student on an exremely tight stipend and a small scholarship, with no right to work in the US.
I did not expect them to take me places anyway. I could have been just as happy walking somewhere with a cup of water in our hand, but they always wanted to go somewhere (my husband included) . So they always paid.
It worked just fine for me. Feminism is overrated anyway.
