I don't think it's necessarily a "chump move." It is more about wanting to treat someone you're interested in because you want to impress them a little bit.
I think if a woman was extremely interested, she may want to treat you. However, that is bucking against tradition a bit, so not all women are brave enough to do it since it is a little uncommon. I've found that switching who picks up the bill is a pretty good way to keep "even" if you really worry about it and are having multiple dates with the same person.
There is an exception though. For the first date or two, whoever does the asking gets to pay. If his/her companion offers to split the bill on the first date, you politely refuse and pay anyways. The person who you invited will probably be wowed at what a generous person you are. It's all about that first impression! After that though, it is definitely great to split the bill or switch on and off.
I mean, I don't really ask to go to fancy lobster dinner places every time it's his turn to treat because I think that's taking advantage, and if you like someone, you shouldn't take advantage. There is great food to be eaten at many different prices, so I keep it under $20 per person.
Is it normal to do this on dates

This is a great attitude to have if your willing to split the bill on and off that's not taking advantage and keeping it even
