Guys, how would you feel if the woman paid for the date?

honestly its an odd concept for me, but if for some reason i opted to pay on our first few dates i wouldnt expect anything from him (except maybe for him to pay the next time). i dont think money equates to affection or sex. if he didnt want to go out again i might ask him why or i might make a conclusion based on the specific person. but i wouldnt assume he just wanted a free meal. id like to think my judgment is a little better than that.
