Meal outside with friend, who paid the bill?

lumanman well usually it depends on my friend but with casual friends I p;ay for myself and myfriend does the same thing. but sometimes with my best friend she would treat me and refused to let me pay my half which was nice as I did not really have that much money. but I have treated her too.

depends on the situation, but usually I would split it...

Usually, we each pay for our own. In the past, I always tried to get the bill and pay for it. But because of my finances now, I don't offer to do that much anymore. Unless the person has less than I do, which is rare. So I guess you could say we go Dutch. And I always wondered where that phrase came from. People paying for their own share, calling it going Dutch.

WHEN MY FRIENDS &I go out to eat we usually pay for our own,I prefer it that way so u can order whatever u want.

I have a friend with which I go out for dinner once in a while. She is my roommate and we follow a procedure. Once she pays the bill, the next time I pay that bill. Till now there is no problem and it continues. We don't mind minor variations in the bills she and I pay. Once in a while we give treats if there is a reason. She got a new job recently and she treated me for that.

We will usually go Dutch. There's really no obligation for anyone of us to foot the bill, unless it's some special occasion.
