Seeing as there is usually at least one outstanding thing at the meal (even if it's just the joint's coffee) I mention a few times that such and such is really good. Guys seem to really love that. E.g.: I commented on how yummy my spice rub was during and then after dinner, and my date seemed so happy he acted liked he'd MADE the darned thing. Being on time for the dinner, showing you are having a nice time, etc. etc. Seems to me the guy appreciates it more than splitting the bill.
Trickier is if the guy is dirt poor (e.g., my type) There are ways to deal with it. Mixing dinners with home cooked meals, romantic picnics. Stuff.
You could also take him out for dessert afterwards at another place (like ice cream) and foot the bill. Another good dessert is to let him pick out anything he wants at the pooty store. But then we're back to that quasi-prostitution argument.

No man is dirt poor if he's into you. He'll find a way to pay.
Unless you're an idiot, every man learns by 25 that he'll never have any real money. You get some crap like a nice car and clothes and some watches and shit like that. nd vacations. But the Cash. That's not yours. Which is fine. WTF would I do with it but waste it on cds and alcohol and piles of clothes I don't need?
I'm going Buddhist. Throwing all material out the window. Except for the expensive food. I can't give up good food.
