Cygnus is right.

When time comes to pay bust out with the cash (or beaver pelts, which is what I understand Canadians use for currency) smoothly and look her in the eyes and say 'is it OK if I take you out tonite?'.

Make it so that she knows that you would like to pick up the tab, but that you want to make sure she is alright with that.

Don't let it seem like you don't know what to do.
