An important question about eating out that we had better discuss right now,at the beginning,is who pays for the meal.If a friend of yours suggests you have lunch with him ,you might simply say something like this,"I 'm afraid it'll have to be some place inexpensive,as I have very little money."

The other person may say,"OK,I will meet you at McDonald's."This means it is agreed that the two will go Dutch,that is , each person pays for himself.He may also say,"Oh,no.I want to take you to lunch at Johnson's ",or "I want you to try the steak there. It's great."This means the person intends to pay the bill for both of you . If you feel friendly towards this person,there is no reason why you shouldn't accept this invitation.You may simply say."Thank you.That would be very nice."

追çAmerican customs about who pays for dates are much the same as those in other parts of the world.American women used to expect men to pay for all the meals.But , today,a woman who is a university student or is working in the business world will usually pay her way during the day.If ,however, aman asks her to attend something special outside the nomal working hour cocktails or dinner or a dance or movie -the invitation itself means "come as my guest."

So , as you can see,it is a polite thing to make the situation clear at the very beginning.Lack of clarity will often cause losing of face.
