If that makes me cheap, then so be it. It's a choice between being cheap or being broke, and I'd rather not be broke.
This is a bit of a threadjack, but: we've always taken turns in my relationship--I paid the first time we went out, he paid the second, and so on. Now it comes down to three things: 1) I've offered to pay, 2) if it was mutual/we have equal amounts of money, we rock-paper-scissors it out, or 3) whoever has more money pays. In my opinion, equity should start at the beginning of the relationship. If a girl wants you to pay her way all the time, she isn't worth it.
