I would probably also say "Wow, thanks for the compliment." because I don't get asked out.

So if a lesbian asks out another woman, they should find a third party to pay for the date?
Greatest rule EVAH! Just present the data (and the check) to the nearest man.

I think it's the longest match in Grand Slam history.
6 hours and 9 minutes.
And the lucky winners of the match get to play in the semis tomorrow!

Oh hell no. The asker pays, period. (The askee, if s/he can afford it, should be polite and offer to split the bill, or at least cover the tip, but women asking guys out and expecting to be treated to dinner? WTF is that?)
Golddigging, IMHO. I think it's nice of a guy who's asked out to offer to pay, or at least to pay his half, but it should be in no way required that he do so.

The drawback to this strategy is that the man who ends up paying will probably want to watch.

I am always more comfortable splitting a check, no matter who asked who. But two men I've dated, one of whom I married, were adamant about paying, saying it didn't feel like a date unless they did. In both cases this was sweetly old-fashioned and not aggressive or obnoxious, otherwise there would have been no more dates, and certainly no marriage.
I think one place it gets confusing - or used to to me; I haven't dated in 10 years - it sometimes it's not clear what is "a date" and what is "friends going out" and it's also not always clear just who asked whom.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are you asking for a subject to teach?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Laugh and say, “I don’t think my girlfriend/boyfriend would approve.”
So those of us who have no GF/BF should lie?
If you’re not sure if you’re being asked out, just drop an unmistakable hint into the conversation referring to your heterosexuality.
How would one do that?
For some reason, that's something I make a point to never do...
