Well, the restaurant was more like a cafe and the food really wasn't expensive. Also, she actually only had a coffee drink throughout the whole date because she wasn't really hungry.
It's not about the cost, it's about the venue. You most often sit across from eachother, the girl eats usually and then doesn't feel as sexy anymore but rather she feels full. Maybe she's tired and now wants to go home and go to sleep.

Also, am I supposed to flirt only when she gives Certain IOIs?
You waiting for her to lead will be a long wait. You're the male, therefore you lead. Women are mirrors. If she's into you she'll mirror that flirty vibe right back to you. If she's not into you I don't know why she's out with you but calibrate yourself so you're not putting the moves on a disinterested girl.

Also, I thought that it was a bad idea to bring up dating and relationships because otherwise you would be communicating to her like a "friend" or "buddy" who would talk about that kind of stuff with each other.
Women fucking love talking about relationship dynamics more than anything else.
It gets her investing in you and doing most of the talking, which is what you want.
It keeps her interest which is what you want.
You do not speak to her in a "friend" manner. She knows what's up. By you being comfortable about talking about dating, relationship dynamics between couples etc. it shows a LOT of security and confidence in yourself. It's important to have a confident frame though to talk about these matters.
If she starts talking about some guy she thought was hot that she met one time, you go 100% along right with it, it presents yourself as a challenge and as a secure male. If you show 1 drip of jealousy or butthurtness you're fucked.
Most importantly, when you talk about dating/relationships it sets the right tone for the "relationship" and the evening between the two of you. You're not overtly talking about sex, but you're in the same "lane" as sex. When you talk about hobbies, work or the girl's hobbies, work etc. these are non-sexual topics that do nothing to spike the sexual interest of the girl in you.

You want a good date? Take her somewhere where you can have fun, where you can tease her and do kino. Iceskating is a great example. Even just chilling at the local park is good.
This.
