Exactly, it is cheap!! And he did keep telling her he'd take her out somewhere nice, but he didn't. Maybe I should mention this guy also used to make this girl go all the way over to his (from East London to West London) and he only came over to hers when his mum gave him a lift there.
In the end, he dumped her on Facebook and made out there were a line of other girls after him. Later on, he decided he wanted to be friends with her, then made her out to be a second option when asking her out again. She said no (yay!!), and then he called her a silly cnut.
The bloke above is an aspie. See what I mean when I say some of them are total a-holes?

It's about who you're with, yes...but relationships are also about actually wanting to please the other person and impress them to an extent, because you care. Assuming the person has enough money to spend on his date, I would have thought he'd think she's worth spending money on (LOTS AND LOTS!! ! ). If he's someone who always wants to split exactly in half, or be stingy with money when he can afford more - that would say to me he doesn't value me much and doesn't want to impress me, which would be a big warning sign he wasn't even interested.

I'm not kidding, this just happened to me...you're damned if you do and damned if you don't...

I absolutely love good fish and chips. I don't understand all the hate. Is this the British equivalent of taking someone to McDonald's or something?
Seriously, I take myself out for a treat every 2-3 weeks and I order fish and chips from this one pub I like in Boston.

I suppose I'm thinking of this in the more general sense, not the specific situation you mention above. Plus how I would like a date to go.
Personally, I've never had a relationship with someone who has much money to spare. I've never had much money to spare. I'd rather we did something fun, cheap, and most important something we both enjoyed, felt comfortable with, and that helped us to get to know each other better. Impressing me...? Money don't impress me much. A man can show his interest in many different ways, most of which are free.
Plus, I think relationships should be pretty equal. Obviously there are times when a person wants to treat their partner, buy them something nice or go somewhere special for their birthday or the like. But I wouldn't feel comfortable with a man always wanting to pay for me. It's not very 21st century.
Yeah some aspie blokes aren't very nice. Some aspie women aren't very nice. Some NT men and women aren't very nice.
It's a whole human thing.

It's very person-specific, I think.
Yes it must be. Must try to remember... not all people think like me.. pesky ToM again.
Well I for one would love to have fish and chips with you!
Hurray! When you come to England on your road trip I'll treat you to fish n chips here.

That looks so awesome!
but you do realize I am actually going to take you up on your offer, right?
are you ready for a baffled-looking Aspie American to come driving through town in a hired Land Rover Defender, probably on the wrong side of the road?

I agree completely. Hell, no money needs to be spent IMO. Pack some sandwiches in a baggie!

Are you coming to leafy Lancashite?
Quite possibly, I'm still planning my route - the only guidelines I have is that it should primarily NOT be on major roads or highways, and should include as many structures known to be haunted as possible
I'd like to buy dinner and/or a pint for a few WPers if I get a chance too...
