I act confused and say something like, “oh, there must have been a miscommunication, I thought this was a date? But that’s okay, making new friends is fun too.” Usually this shames him into paying. If he tries to debate me on it/brings up 50/50 or “equality” bs, I just tell him that in my world, the one who invites another on a date pays, as that is just common good manners.
Whether he pays for us both or not, he’s blocked as soon as I leave. I don’t debate my standards and he’s shown he isn’t up to mark.
Basically, most men will be ashamed by the idea that they’ve put themselves into the friend zone by not paying for both of us. Obviously, this only works with men who feel shame for not being up to the standards of the woman they want, so it requires some vetting ahead of time (any man who is NOT ashamed of disappointing the woman he desires is a NVM).
