Technically, all you have to do is identify as a feminist. At worst, you'd be a bad feminist (as opposed to not a real feminist) because feminism is a movement, not an organisation. To be a good feminist, you'd have to engage in women's rights advocacy or women's rights activism.

You are a feminist if you support women's rights and the fight for gender equality. If you expect a guy to pay just because he is a guy then that isn't gender equality, however as some have been quick to point out: men are likely to make more money and have better economic standing, if one person makes more money and is more financially secure it makes sense for them to pay for the person who makes less money. If guys have a problem with this inequality then they may want to join the feminist movement so that women are economically equal to men.
