Going on first date in AM setup. Who should pay the bill?

I’m going to meet a guy tomorrow, at a restaurant. It’ll be our first meeting. We have just talked on phone once and chatted few times in a week not much but general stuffs. He replies very late, but took initiative to call and message. He seemed to be a very shy person. Or I don’t know if I’m misunderstanding his shyness for his lack of interest.
Anyway, tomorrow I’ll meet him at a restaurant. I’ll not order anything more than a coffee which will not cost more than ₹30.
He is working and I’m still a student. My doubt is if I should ask him to split the bill or let him pay.
