I prefer to avoid it. Both from a Philosophical and seduction standpoint, it feels like a bad idea. Philosophically speaking, it no longer makes sense to be buying women drinks on dates. It used to make sense when women had less rights, less freedoms, and less capability to earn a currency of their own. In this day & age, there's no excuse for a women
expecting a man to pay for a date. In fact some of the more feminist type girls seem to get offended by the notion.
Philosophically speaking, the only time I would pay for a girl's date is if I have a real job, make a decent living, am significantly older than her etc. and she's a broke college student or w.e. Not really the case for me though, cause I'm still a young jobless college student myself. lol.
From a seduction standpoint, paying for dates seems to communicate "I feel like I need to give you something just to have earned the right to be in your company". Hopefully, its very obvious why this is a bad thing. The only exception to this rule is conspicuous consumption. If you're super successful, then perhaps you can take her out to a very very high end restaurant, drop $400 for the date, treat it like its nbd and this might actually boost attraction. Here's more on the topic:

Overall though, if its something as cheap as drinks (as it should be) it probably won't really matter what you do. As long as you don't make a big deal out of it.
