i agree with bookie: if you ask her out, then you should pay. if she does the asking (or insisting) then she pays. that said, you should be able to find less expensive places to take her.

honestly though, if you're at this point in a relationship, where you're talking about money and have profoundly different oppinions that you can't compromise on, (or if you think that she's the kind of girl that just wants a "toy to play with" and doesn't appreciate you) then maybe you should "see other people"...
