Say you haven't eaten all day so you're pretty hungry and feel more like chicken and see what he does.
If he puts up a fight, you're right about him being a cheapskate and it's probably gonna be your last date with the guy. If he's not willing to spring for a big shiny burger all your own, he's not going to treat you well in general.
If he's cool with your alternative menu preference he probably just wasn't very hungry or assumed you weren't and is probably worth another shot.

Is he really a cheapskate or does he maybe just not eat a lot? A lot of times, my husband and I will split a burger because neither of us will eat a whole one. Keep that as an option.

If I wanted to split a cheeseburger I would say "Yes."
If I didn't want to split a cheeseburger I would say "No."
If I wanted one of my own I would buy one of my own.
Maybe you could say something that will let him know what you are thinking, like: "I want you to buy me a cheeseburger", or "I want you to try to impress me by spending your money on me"
That'll do the trick.

When a guy asks me if I want to split a cheeseburger, I assume he means that we are each going to eat half of it, not each pay for half of it.
Say to him, "Sure! I'm not that hungry anyway. I'll even let you have the biggest half, since you're buying it".

It really depends what I would do, I mean if he is like really rich or has a moderately good job, to where he can afford 2 cheeseburgers, I would dump him right away. If he is poor well, just accept what you get because it is out of the humbleness of his heart.

LoL ...Say yes thank you, of course! Perhaps he discovered he was short on cash after he asked you out and thought that at least the two of you could split a cheeseburger. He was probably too embarassed to tell you. And perhaps too much of a gentleman to suggest that you buy your own. In this day and age most people do pay for their own meals. Eating out can get to be expensive.
He probably likes you alot and figured at least the two of you could spend time together.
At least he didn't do what a former boyfriend of mine did once. It was Prom time. My then boyfriend got himself sunburned mowing lawns to supposedly earn enough money to take us out for a nice supper on prom night.
He arrived at my house and while my parents took pictures he asked my mom if it was okay if we had dinner there!
Shocked at his request, but too polite to say anything, she agreed.
We still had to go to his folks for pictures and when we returned my parents had set the table with the good china and candles and we had ham salad sandwiches with potato salad and chips and cola....LoL ...My parents were classy about the whole situation fortunately.
As for the money he earned from mowing lawns he used that on a trip he took and then cheated on me with a girl that he met....LoL...live and learn!
Of course I broke up with him after that and the following year when he tried to get me to make up and even put my GF's up to convincing me to take him back, I gently and graciously refused....I'd had enough of him!
He'd get mad if I wasn't at home when he'd call. If I was going someplace, whether it was with my mother, or a girlfriend and not tell him he would get upset. He enjoyed starting fights at school. Hitting and punching. I hadn't known this about him till after we had started going steady. His cheating was the final straw.
What sort of a personality did your date have? Was he fun to be with? Did he make you laugh? Were you comfortable in his company or ill at ease?
My first unofficial date with my husband we split a rootbeer together and talked and he asked me out to go bowling the next day.
The reason I refer to it as an unofficial date is I didn't have my parents permission yet to date him and it was a spontaneous and impromptu meeting, instead of a planned date.
We had just met the evening before. He was working in a store at the mall. I worked at the mall too but I hadn't met him until I was introduced to him by a gf of mine.
While we shared the rootbeer and talked, I knew for certain that he was meant for me. He was personable and had a great sense of humor and when he left me to go back into work I missed him and couldn't wait to spend more time with him. We've been together ever since, 34 years.
Raised three beautiful children and have six grand-children and you can believe me when I say there is nothing cheapskate about him!
Beautiful things can happen when you are willing to share!

I generally avoid conflict, so I might share a cheeseburger. Or, I might tell him that I really don't like cheese, so I'd like a regular burger, please.
If he asked me to pay for it, I'd pay, but next time he asked me out, I'd be busy.

This is a person. I myself would not call this person a cheapskate. I would say no, but thanks for asking. This person did ask you, and this was very respectful. There are places that are free such as the park OR library to go to,or maybe even go for a walk together. Please do not label.
