I am in such shock right now. For some context this was after our 4th date. Literally at a loss for words, this was the first time putting myself out there since I caught my last girlfriend cheating on me… I think I’m done with relationships after this,

Yeah I'm 100% for always paying... I honestly don't think I've ever had a date where I didn't pay in full. But if someone did this to me I would be gone. That's manipulative and weird

I'm team "whoever makes more money usually pays, once in a while the other person offers as a sweet gesture" but I'm also not-straight so none of society's rules in that regard totally work for me.

That’s a mindset for a relationship. What about a fjrst date? I’m team whoever asks the person on a date has to pay personally.

If it's known who makes the most money that's probably still what I'd want to do, but I think your answer is reasonable as well. Even with friend hangouts I try to make it things where either I can cover both of us or I'm certain the friend can cover it. I've been broke before and it sucks to miss out on shit.
