At a restaurant
------------------
Woman: Hmm, Mario, I love to stay, but I've got to go.
Man: Sure. What do you want to do about the bill?
Woman: Well, you said this is like a date.
Man: Almost. Anyway, don't women like to pay half these days?
Woman: Sometimes.
Man: Sometimes?
Woman: Talk about cheap. This is only frozen yogurt.

Yes, pay half of the bill.
A traditional expression for this in a man/woman context, is 'go dutch'. I don't know if young people say this anymore.
You could also say that we'll split th bill.
