If You Don't, Want To Pay Don't Invite

Well before you guys go out with him ask first wo would pay the bill. Also' I think it is good to always have money on you when you join something, because you'll never know,sometimes every time I go out I know there will always be a way that Im gonna need to use money, so I make sure I have extra for that.

He should have told the others about the payment system. Me and my friends hangs out a lot and we talk about the payment system before we go out to avoid issues.

Here, our friends and officemates would invite each other during free times for dinner or lunch, but we all know that we all have to pay for our own orders. We understand that we just invite and go out and that the person who invites does not necessarily mean he has to pay for the bill all the time.

I think it depends on the way that you interpret the sentence when someone invites you out for dinner. Sometimes that sentence means that the person who invited you is going to pay and sometimes it is only means that person would like to spend time with you and doesn't intend to pay for your meal. If you think that the other person is always going to pay if (s)he invites you might misunderstand the invitation and get disappointed if he doesn't offer to pay. If would be another situation if he said directly that he was going to pay and doesn't pay, but if he only invites you I wouldn't expect him to pay and I would make sure to bring my own money.

We have the same sentiments. We expect people who invited us to pay for it, right? Not unless he specifically says that he wanted to hang out and that it would be "Dutch Treat".
