So... Who's paying for this date???

Ladies... You ever go out with a man and enjoy the entire night. You find the conversation is exciting and he has a great sense of humor. At the same time, he seems to never talk about himself and appears all too interested in you! You think it's love at first sight, or at least, first sitting. Then the check comes... Uh ooohhh!!! He picks up the check, looks it over and then says with all seriousness, "So, how are we splitting this?" Men... Let's say you are this brother. Is there anything really wrong with this scenario. Aren't we living in a new millennium where women make just as much, if not way more than men? What about this "Independent Woman" thing? Is it time for ladies to pick up the tab???
