Is it ok on your first date to request two separate checks? If yes when you do it, when you first order, or when you're ready to leave?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Two separate checks plz

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

If she is worth going out with, she is worth picking up the check. It sends a very, very bad message to a woman. Is it a double standard? Yes. It is just how the game is played. If she is to ultimately submit to you, you need to pick up the check on a date.
First dates should never be dinner anyway. They should be action dates, perhaps with a lunch thrown in.

Well once the time to pay comes it means I have all the info I need about the girl.
If she is not worth, shows low interested or busted my balls I have no problem at all to ask 2 different checks and the waitress in front of her.
Atom has a point but we come from two different generations and I simply adapted to the current world for my age group.
Personally toward the end of date 1 I can make a 90% accurate evaluation of the outcome of such interaction.
No need to waste money even few euros nor give the wrong message that no matter what, she is entitled to anything....only exception would for girls who are super polite and nice even if I dont like them.

If your goal is not to get laid then by all means split the check. Just how it is...
You can gauge where things are going by the time dinner and drinks are over. If you don't think it's going anywhere then by all means split the check. Also, you should probably have bumped uglies by the time you are treating to moderately expensive dinners so in the end it's a wash.
