In my experience...
Money can be a taboo in the dating dance. As a person you have to formulate your own rules and go with it. In my dating experience I always went dutch on the first date. I always graciously accepted a first drink. I would never buy dinner on a first date, I would usually offer to buy a drink after the first one was bought for me but never buy the first one for him...here's why,
I never wanted to feel obligated so I thought if I went dutch the ground rules were established right off the bat. I never bought dinner or drinks first because in my experience that is kind of emasculating and implies he can't afford it. I always took a first drink because it is a nice gesture and offered one back for the same reason.
Once I understood where things were going it was a 50/50 endeavor.
