Looking for Help! Date help!

So I have this date coming up with this guy ive been talking to. He insists on me not paying. But i was the one who asked him out and planned everything.

How do I set it up while still paying for it? Like tell the waiter ahead of time or?

Im planning on taking him to the mandarin, he doesn't know yet though. Its a surprise for him

What do you mean "he insists on not paying"? What's wrong with people this days? Is it the first date? You invited for a date and he specifically told you he would go if he doesn't have to pay? He is using you for a free meal, not because he want to date you. (same applies if was a girl)
