Ever hear of WIIFM? Aka, "What's in it for me?" I don't like this way of thinking, at all. I dated one guy who used to bring it up when talking about business. Towards the end of our courtship/relationship, he started bringing it up when it came to me. For example, giving me a ride home after dinner. He actually said, "You get a free dinner and a ride home. What do I get?" Me (to myself), "After that, me never seeing you again."
When I have dinner with a friend, I don't think that's even a thought that crosses his/her mind. It certainly doesn't cross my mind. If a friend buys me dinner and drives me home, it's because they like my company and they like me as a person. Perhaps they want to make sure I get home safe, perhaps they know the dinner will be filled with laughter, et al. So, when I find out a suitor is thinking WIIFM, I don't think he's interested in me enough (at least not as a person).
