Guys paying for their dates meal is a long standing tradition, but it is an unnecessary throw-back to a time with more rigidly defined gender roles. Both parties would be happier if they could go dutch, at least on the first date.
If your date reaches for her wallet without having discussed it one way or another, I don't see any reason to prevent her from paying for herself. She may desire to do so for a variety of reasons, including a feeling of independence; in some cases, she may even be offended if you demand to pay the whole bill.
