From the times of hunter gatherers and the agricultural revolution, men have farmed and hunted to chase down animals and turn them into meals for the rest of the tribe. So as economies evolved it still seemed natural that a man would feel an inherent sense to provide a meal for his partner/ SO. Economies becoming market (and currency) based, just streamlined this process. a man feeling obligated to pay for the meal on a date is rooted in ancient tradition.
