AITA for not paying for a $100 lunch when I specifically told my date, my food preferences?

I met this girl online and as we continued talking, we decided to go on a date. She wanted to try out a new restaurant and I said yes. She also asked me if there was anything I do not eat. I told her that I eat meat, but seldom because I don’t like eating at expensive places to eat meat. I prefer to eat seafood when I go out and I specifically told her that and asked her if she was okay with it. She said it’s okay and so we decided to meet at the restaurant.<br><br>I got there first and I ordered the seafood platter which was about $40. A pretty normal price for seafood in my area, and it was actually quite cheap. She got there and I immediately noticed her dress. Now, I don’t want to sound like a dick but I’m very transparent when it comes to money. I don’t like to hide anything. Her dress was expensive. Very expensive. I don’t know the brand but it was very pretty and I complimented her on it.<br><br>She ordered a $40 starter and a $60 Wagyu steak. I was a bit surprised at how expensive it was but everyone is different when it comes to food. We talked and had a good time and I was pretty much enjoying her company. I walked her home and I kissed her before saying my goodbyes.<br><br>The next day, I got a text from her. I thought it was to ask how I was, or to go on another date and stuff. But I was wrong. It was a text telling me how cheap I was for not paying for her meal. I was like what? I asked her why I should and she said I should because I didn’t ask her if it was okay to order a $60 steak and I just let her get it. I was like you ordered a $40 starter and a $60 steak and you expect me to pay for it? You said you were okay with me eating a seafood dish and I only ordered a $40 platter. I don’t think that’s fair.<br><br>She didn’t reply after that and I assumed she was just being stubborn. Well, she’s not. I got a call from her last night, yelling and calling me an AH for not paying for her food. I said I’m not paying for her food because I did nothing wrong. She said that men always pay for the food for their dates but I said, in this case, I didn’t think it was necessary because she wanted to try out a new restaurant and I didn’t want to stop her. She then hung up the phone and I haven’t heard from her since.<br><br>I sent her a text saying how I think she’s the AH for wanting me to pay for her food and I hope she can understand my point. I told my friends what happened and I’m split 50/50 here. Some of my friends said I should pay for it but the other half said it was too expensive and I didn’t do anything wrong.<br><br>AITA?
