Unless you're flexible and might be open to the idea, I’d say it’s best to be honest about it from the start. There is no point in going down a road that you don’t want to travel.I'm just learning the ropes here. Do you find it's a good idea to let them know from the outset that there will be no PPM for non-intimate dates?
However if the “non intimate dates” include things like concerts, sporting events that might include you paying for an expensive ticket she might be happy with that. She may also be happy with gifts, but you have to balance what you’re giving with what you’re getting out of this arrangement. It’s all part of an adult conversation that needs to be had.
