How do you all feel about a woman taking a man out on a date? As opposed to vice versa

This girl I always thought was cute messaged me & told me I'm handsome 😶

I tried to play cool & told her "well ask me on a date then, damn 🤷" & she actually asked me on a date 😮

but she told me to choose where we go & I was like "idk... You asked ME out" & I made her pick 🤣

I'm not sure how I'd feel if she legit came, picked me up, took me out, paid & everything 😂 I was half joking because I think I'd feel too out of place for that lol.
I still picked her up & we went half on everything (she insisted on it) but that was a couple months ago, so it's not someone I'm still dating at this moment.

But she still asks me out sometimes & she wants to pick me up, & actually be the one taking ME out. It feels so odd to me but my homie was just telling me "dude why don't you let her take you out? What's the deal, you feel like you don't deserve to be treated or what?"

That kinda made it make sense 🤔 Like why do us guys tend to feel weird about letting a woman take US out? I get it's kinda traditional but it also seems quite prideful.
Idk... I guess it just makes me feel like I'm just a scrub 🤷 on the passenger side of my best friends ride y'know. Its not about the control for me.. I just don't like feeling like a bum 😂

I think I’f have fun with it. You’re the one who initiated the idea. Only makes sense for you to roll with it and be open to a different kind of dynamic for laughs. You guys will probably have a good time. You can always take her out on The second date if it goes well.

@WhateverWorks good point 🤔 but we actually did go out that time & it was fun. We've been out a few more times but that's it. We still talk though & need to go out again

Sounds like things are moving at a pretty good, healthy pace. If you can, try not to overthink it @ChiefJustWalks

@WhateverWorks oh I don't lol rn we're still just friends who've slept together before 🤷 I don't think she wants more but idk 🤔 I'd consider it I suppose
