Dating who pays is a cliché.
Do foreign couples like AA?
Let's take a look at how foreigners pay for dating.
01.
How to say "pay the bill" in English?
Discuss "who pays", except who pays?/ Who is paying? It can also be said:
Who foots the bill?
Foot is used here as a verb, which means "to bear the cost".
In a restaurant, you can say to the waiter, "I'm going to pay the bill":
Could I get/have the bill?
Bill, please.

What is the difference between "Date" and "In Love"?
Who pays when dating may depend on how well the relationship between the two people develops.
Date refers to the stage when two people have just begun to go out on a date and get to know each other.
Go on a date:去约会
Ask someone out on a date: Invite someone out on a date
You can date with a lot of people at the same time:
I have many dates. I have a lot of dates.
Date can not only be used as a noun, but also as a verb:
Date around: Dating a lot of people
We are dating. We're dating.
If the date goes well, two people could end up in a serious relationship.
We are now in a serious relationship. We're seriously in love.
Go steady: Formalize the relationship

The English of AA is not actually AA
The "AA system" is called in English:
Split the bill: Split the cost
Go Dutch: Pay each
When eating at a restaurant, the waiter may ask:
Separate the bills? Do you pay each?
Separate is pronounced differently when making an adjective and a verb:
Separate ['sepərət] adj. Separate, independent
Separate ['sepəreɪt] v. separated, differentiated

What do foreign netizens think?
On the foreign Q&A website Quora, for the matter of AA, men one-sidedly said that the boy's request and the girl's AA did not mean that they were stingy or did not like the girl.
But most ladies think: If a guy wants to split the bill on the first date, he is unlikely to ever have a second date. In other words, he probably didn't like you before he AA.
Some boys also feel that women should share a certain amount of costs:
If she isn't chipping in by the third date, that is a sign she is a taker and not a giver. If the girl still doesn't pay a penny by the third date, it means that she is a person who likes to take rather than give.
Chip in: Contribute
If a man takes the initiative to pay the bill, it will make the woman think he is a gentleman, or:
He shows chivalry. He was chivalrous.
Chivalry ['ʃɪvəlri]: Chivalry;
Do you pay for it when you're dating him?
