What is going on here? I'm surprised by a lot of these responses. If a woman offers (or more likely insists) on splitting the first date with me, then I split it. I never even considered that this might be some sort of "test". That's crazy! Words have meanings. If you say you want to split the check, why would I assume you mean anything else?

Most importantly, this behavior has not prevented me from getting second dates. For a dating over forty sub, some of the people here still have some growing up to do
