Yes, well, as I implied, chances are he's under the impression that,
even if you do the (vague) inviting, it's ALWAYS supposed to be a
Dutch date unless you say, early on, that it isn't. A lot of "hosts,"
both male and female, mistakenly make that assumption.

Of course, if she's the one who made the suggestion that they go out
to eat but now is acting as though he should pay for ALL of it, that's
clearly a lot worse.

Another thing to wonder about is: If she's such a take-charge,
braggart type as he describes, how hard would it have been for her to
ask, early on, whether he was treating her or not?
