if I accept a girl's offer to pay her half of the dinner bill even after I have offered to cover the whole thing?

No it doesnt. It actually means that you found a girl who respects and acknowledges that both sexes have to contribute to the relationship. However if its the very first date, being overly chivalrous and pay the whole thing no matter what she says. After that you guys can split as you choose.

No, I have actually known a girl that insisted on paying her own way on a date. I don't know if it was because she felt she didn't want to owe a guy anything, she wanted to be independent, or what. I usually let a guy pay for everything the first few dates, after that, I'll help out. If she is really insistent about it, let her split the bill. If you made a big effort to pay and she was not willing to go along with it, you are not cheap.

If you already said you're paying, then pay. Otherwise arrange ahead of time. I don't think I'd sit through a meal planning on paying for it, then accepting her money at the last minute. If she insists just tell her she can pick up the bill for the next meal.

No, I always insist on going halfs, or I pay for the wine or something. Girls should not expect the guy to foot the bill for every date, that's just wrong.

Unless she has suggested that she pay prior to the date, it looks sort of bad. (At least in my opinion.) If I plan to pay , I let him know up front that it is my treat. If I am only a friend, then I see nothing wrong with it, although most guys I know do not want the woman to pay at all.
If he asked me out, and accepted my money, I would probably not see him again. If I asked him out, I would not feel that way.

Whoever makes the date should pay for the bill, in my opinion, but if she offered, I'd take her up on it. It'll save you a bit of cash, and unless she's 'testing' you (in which case, she's not worth it) then she doesn't mind.

if you offered to pay with intentions too pay, it's not being cheap. However, next time pay for the whole thing, don't let her pay! perhaps suggest for her to leave a tip. That's not unreasonable.

Depends on your relationship, however, girls sometimes like paying their half since then they don't feel any obligation towards any advances later on in the date. If then they happen, you are more likely to know that it is because of her attraction for you and not your obligation.
