Survey - My views about dating etiquette...?

I think you have a point in that dates can be expensive for guys depending on where you go (personally I have never expected a guy to pay for the whole night and feel more comfortable if I pay for the movie after he's paid for dinner), but I think that where you went wrong was when you said "then there is a real chance you may never hear from her again". It's off-putting to go on a date with someone when you're going in with the idea that their just coming out for a free meal.
