This isn't intended as a personal attack, just a thought-provoking question...
Would you think it legitimate/appropriate/acceptable if he just "showed up and brought Jesus", but didn't think it was "genuine" to try to demonstrate any strengths or traits (such as being a provider) that you would find attractive?
I suspect not, which would mean you have a double standard, expecting far more from a man than what you offer to him.

I don't expect more from a man than I am willing to offer-I expect his ALL because THAT is what I am willing to give, my all. I expect him to lay down his whole life for me, as I would be handing my whole life over to him in complete devotion.
Q. What is the price for a wife?
A. Your life 😉
So pettiness (as I see it) about who will pay only demonstrates to me that he is more concerned about husband money than me... or maybe there is another issue.... but ultimately it is off-putting and un-loving and sending the wrong signals. As a Christian I am not in the mindset of trying to be equal with a man like a feminist would, I would compliment the man and be in my element helping him, but I deem it unfeminine to try and be the same as him lol, that's just how I am. And I think that is how God made me to be.

Depends on the circumstances of the Mcdonald's visit, if you had a full all day event and are on your way home and need a quick bite Mcdonalds is acceptable. If your date is going out for a meal and his idea of a good sit down restaurant is McDonald's that says a lot either about how tight his money is or how little he knows of the possibilities of the world around him. For a meal that's a feature part of the date, it really should be someplace with a server that comes to your table to take your order and bring you your food.
Now there's a good spin on the topic: Would your rather your date take you to Mcdonald's (or other fast food) and pay for it all or go dutch at Denny's (or another budget end sit down place)?

Denny's is a compromise. It's the worst of both worlds. Cook-to-order speed (slow) with fast food quality (low.)
Can we make it at least Cracker Barrel or Shoney's? That's not the ceiling of course... there's lot of places better than that... but can we at least establish that as the lower boundary of sit-down restaurant expectations?
