I think it depends on what you're comfortable with and intention. I was raised in the South so guys pretty much always paid. If someone asks me out, and I really just wanna be friends I will want to go Dutch. I have a dear male friend, and personal mentor and we take turns when we go out to eat or go have coffee. I've taken a man out and picked up the check and honestly my thing is as long as the person being treated isn't taking advantage of the one picking up the tab and essentially using that person. Additionally I also think it's important that the person picking up the tab (myself included) isn't putting any sexual expectations or demands on the person he or she is treating to the date. Above all people there ought to be respect and care for one another, otherwise what's the point? If someone thinks dinner, a movie and some drinks entitles him to my muffin then I'd just as soon go it alone. I ain't got time for ulterior motives! I'm a big girl, I can take myself out if I so choose.
