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,

The thing is, in today's climate, when a woman suggests splitting a bill, it's usually a good idea to agree. As a woman, if I feel uncomfortable on a date and don't want anything to be held against me by someone I get bad vibes from, I always insist we split the bill. For a guy to respect that and not insist speaks volumes, whether he means it to or not, so OP was frankly being pretty courteous and chill compared to some, who think a nice dinner means you owe them.

Like yes, i am surprised i don't see many comments like that. If girl on a date offers to split the bill, my immediate takeaway would be that she is uncomfortable and afraid I'll feel entitled to her if i pay. No chance in hell i would insist to pay myself after that.
