Pretty much.
What does "inviting out" mean? Does me simply verbalizing that me and her go somewhere mean I am inviting her somewhere?
What if we both want to do something, but I happen to name the spot. Does that still mean I invited her?
I have had a girl a few years back disrespect me by asking me, "When are you going to take me out." I let her know about herself, but if I would have taken her out, did I indirectly agree to pay for it since I was asked when I would take her out?
As for the "inviting" situation, I think it's easier to explain with examples.
Me inviting her out:
Me: Hey, you wanna go to the movies tonight?
Her: Yeah, what movie do you want to see? When?
I definitely pay in this situation.
Her inviting me out:
Her: Hey, you wanna go out to lunch today?
Me: Sure, where do you wanna go? When?
You're not obligated to pay for her in this situation, but I would offer anyway. If it's dinner at a restaurant (no fast food) then I'd definitely offer to pay unless she insisted that she was paying for both of us. I, personally, would avoid going dutch just because it's not too classy especially for a date.
Mutual situation:
Me: I'm bored.
Her: I'm bored too.
Me: We could go to the movies...
Her: Yeah, sounds good. When?
I would offer to pay, but going dutch is fine too. It really depends on if it's your gf or just some girl you're talking to because you'll probably have some sort of established sentiment on who pays for what if it's your gf, but for a potential love interest then you should offer to pay just because it's a nice gesture and it shows a bit of class.
