I think so. But it seems times are a-changing and this may not be such a steadfast rule these days. However, it would make me feel 'less of a man' if we splitted bills on first date.
I guess it also depends on culture and region too. Certain areas of the world have different rules.

Why not let each couple decide for themselves? Why do we need a rule for everyone? Some men want to, some ladies like it, some don’t. They can sort themselves out and find someone who matches.
shareI totally agree! Whatever suits their fancy. Everyone is different and while some men may feel they need to pay, in this day and age, that’s no longer the case. Some ladies may welcome it, but others may not. To some couples, one may pay for dinner and perhaps their date may cover another aspect of their evening out.
shareBack when I was single, a girl offering top pay her share on the first date meant she wasn't interested and there wouldn't be a second date.
