guys, what do you do in this situation?

[Sooga]

- No.
- it's not about the money, it's just that is automatically paying for it just the socially accepted thing to do?
- No.

I have a lot more spending money than most of my friends because of poker so I'd just try and pay for both sometimes. Whatever, it's situational. Here I'd just pay - whats a quiznos sub, like $4?

Ok, so is it a monetary issue then? Say we went somewhere like this and for whatever reason, the total was like $20 each. Is it still the same? Or is there some dollar cutoff where I shouldn't be expected to pay? Like I said earlier, it's not like I'm poor and can't afford to do this... I'm just wondering if this is the 'typical' thing to do.

It depends on where your going with this girl, if you have absolutely no sexual interest in her but like her as a friend and are'nt trying to impress her, ask for seperate bills. The money is'nt the point, it's more to not give her the wrong impression.

Have you kicked that girl to the curb, yet ? I hope so.

hmm, that doesn't sound right. You mean to tell me you've never bought a meal for a friend, in the fear that he/she might get a wrong impression?

[pearljam]

I have baught meals for guy friends yea, but only because they did'nt have money and I wanted to go out for food. It's not that there is anything wrong with buying her a meal, but (and you could judge this better then I since you know the girl) you might give her the wrong impression that your trying to impress her.

I still vote "who [censored] cares". My friends and I do this all the time. We got out eat and get a few drink, one of us pays. The other one pays the next time. And so on. It is not that big of deal. Sometimes I pay more, sometimes they do. If your friendship hindges upon a few bucks (I bought Fat Tire last time and you only bought Bud Light you worthless [censored]) ... there are bigger issues here.

[Sooga]

You're right.... and now that I'm thinking about it, I can't remember an instance where she's ever paid. Not sure why I didn't realize it til now.
