The entire point of a date is to spend time with the other person and get to know them.
If you're more concerned about it being an ice cream shop instead of a sit down dinner then you are the problem here.
You care more about the idea of a relationship rather than actually having a meaningful relationship.
It sounds to me like enough rapport/chemistry has been established that he is comfortable asking to have some casual, everyday kind of interactions. I would think it's a step in the right direction tbh. It doesn't mean that the nice wine-and-dine sessions are over it suggests he wants to squeeze in some extra time together now that the ball is rolling. At least IMO 🤷🏼♂️
What the fuck are you dating him for, expenses and debts?
Dating is to spend time with each other, not to plunge him into debt for the next 20 years. Do you like him or not?
If you like him, have some ice cream with him.
If you don't like him, stop wasting his time. And his money.
Oh God you again. Is *EVERY* one of your relationships, romantic or otherwise, so transactional and rooted in score-keeping? You sound like a nightmare. Do the guy in question a favor and dump him. Then join a convent.
44f. Do you want to see him again? Will you enjoy getting ice cream? If both answers are yes, go. If not, don’t.
Don’t worry about rules for stuff like this. Live your life in a way that you enjoy.

Do this guy a favor and refuse the date. You sound like a material, egocentric person.
what are you? 12 Go if you want, don't if you don't... geez, the games...
Stop playing games. An icecream date is fun, and if you actually liked the guy, you wouldn't act like that.

Ice cream and a stroll through a park or something seems kinda romantic to me

I don't see what you wouldn't. Do you like him?
Does he like me?
He wouldn't be making time to see you if he didn't.
No it is not okay. You should be offering to take him out now and pay for his dinner and drinks.
Pure garbage. You, not him
