I'm a bit of an ass when it comes to paying.
When the bill comes after a meal stand up and do the "where's my wallet" pat-down. Then say "Oh dear, have you got money? I'm not sure where my wallet it" if she says yes then you just reply with "Wow, that's so embarrassing. I'm paying next time." That way you're guaranteeing a second date.
If she's not got any cash, do the wallet pat-down again and, oh how embarrassing, it was in my back pocket. Phew, glad I found it.
If it's in a bar with drinks then a line I've heard and recommended comes in good; "What are you broke? You buy me a drink. I'll buy the next round." It's not failed me yet or got me slapped. It's a neg and forces her to qualify herself to you by buying you the drink.
When they say "Don't buy girls drinks".. that's not what they mean.
The Idea is not "not to spend money" the idea is not to appear needy, and try buying them off with a drink
you gave a BAD example, coz that shows you a bit as a wuss
better scenario
"buy me a drink"
"sorry, I don't buy girls drinks.. but you can buy me one"
it's an oldy but goody, works better then you might expect
