it may be a tad bad. kind of in the way that, when you put an outfit together and it just doesn't go; the situation youre describing just doesn't "go"
by the way, if you look anything like your avatar, your really cute

I think if you want something expensive, tell her before she orders that you are having whatever it is, and ask her if she'd like it, too. Or just tell her to order whatever she wants after you tell her what you are having. She is probably being considerate of your finances. If money is no object to you, she should be told she can have anything she wishes.
Back in my dating days, I always asked my date what he was going to eat. Then I looked on the menu for something about the same price. I didn't want to order anything way more expensive than he did!

Unless she really likes what she's ordering, she may be doing so because she does not want to take advantage of your gentlemanly generosity. Has she offered to pay for you before? If she has, then that's probably it. Ordering something more expensive than what she ordered is not doing to disrespect her in the least.

If you're paying, order whatever you want! I don't think that's disrespectful at all.
