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 [i]me[/i] up, & actually be the one taking [b]ME[/b] 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 don’t really feel any kind of way, I’ve personally never asked a guy out on a date. (They always ask me first) I always tell them I can pay for myself, but they always insist on paying for me so I’m like ok thanks 😂🤷🏽‍♀️ I never expect anyone to pay for me tho, but it’s very much appreciated when they do. I wouldn’t mind doing the same for a guy, it’s all about the situation in my opinion. If they’re willing to do it for me then why can’t I for them sometimes? 😁
@SW-User one of my best friends told me that exact same thing 👌 I get that though. I'm like that with even friendships
I don't go nowhere if I can't afford it myself because I always just expect to pay 🤷
