A first date that he asked her out on.
If you are worried about the expense of a first date, you don’t have to do anything extravagant.

A major one is his generosity.
A man’s generosity is how he demonstrates his ability to provide.

She is basically looking to see whether you are showing signs that you are generous and have the capacity to provide if she were to end up partnering with you.

And yes, paying the whole bill at the end of the first date.
She uses all of this to measure whether it is worth it to go out on a second date with you.
Even if you do well in most of them, but end up splitting the bill with her at the end of the first date, the lasting impression you leave on her is negative.
