Who pays?

I'm new to online dating...a week and no real connections yet, but I'm being hopeful. When I do finally connect with someone and we decide to meet for coffee or whatever, I'm wondering how to handle the awkward "who pays" issue. Do you guys get there early and go ahead and get your coffee or wait 'til he gets there and see if he offers to pay? I just don't know... It's been so long since I've dated and back then we didn't have online dating so these issues didn't really exist.

Let him treat you to a cup of coffee and the first handful of dates especially if he’s asking you out.

As a guy I've paid on every meet or dinner that I've attended. On a few coffee dates if she was already there she'd purchased her coffee and I didn't reimburse her.
