I live in NYC, met a woman in my dance class, then we casually met for a drink one night. I walked her to her building and leaned in for a kiss but she gave me the cheek. We've been in touch via text since (2 weeks ago). She just proposed that we go to an evening museum exhibit and then to a Cuban restaurant where they have live music. An Uber to the restaurant could be $30. The restaurant is pricey (dinner and drinks for two could be $175-200). I could afford it but don't have a lot of money. She seems pretty cool and I don't know if she will offer to split it. I feel like I'll be on edge until that point of the evening occurs. What to do? A) Say that it seems too pricey for me or say my budget is $100. B) Make up a reason to cancel the date and propose drinks another time.

Can I say, "It looks like dinner will be about $200. That's a bit much for my budget." Then see if she offers to split it?
