depends upon how close the friends is. usually if i go with my friends and who has the extra cash he is the one who pays the bill and vice-versa.

it depends upon the friends I am with...if that friend of mine is somewhat needy or really close with me I'll pay the bill but if it's a group date...we share out...

Yes it's true. But if always one pay for it, he won't afford it or be willing to do it.

its always the case when I and my friends have a night out or just plain snacks just to talk things over or for relaxation, we tend to pay for our own bills..

of course, it pre announce then the one who said, will have to shoulder the bill. if not, then we share out. sometimes one will offer her card then we give the money later. or share out our money together.

It's more fair. But in our country,most people will strive for paying the bill although maybe they have not enough money.

We have different sets of rules for different sets of friends we eat out with. certain groups we eat with, the bill is always divided equally. This isn't always fair, but if you know it's going to happen this way then it's an excuse to eat what you like as you'll still be paying a share at the end of the meal anyway. Other groups of friends divide the bill to what you ate. When we do this, I am always more conscious of what I am ordering as I am always totting up the final amount in my head. It's nice to treat other people sometimes, but if we are doing this, or in fact being treated ourselves, we always discuss it before the meal so everyone knows what's happening.

when i have dinner outside with my friends, most especially when we have no work? lol well, we usually each pay what he/she has ordered, but if we have a friend who just arrived, and she has invited us, she's the one who usually pays the bill.

I usually like to split the bill with my friends. We just went out to dinner with a friend tonight, though, and he insisted on buying my fiance and I dinner. I told him that the next time we went out, we would pay for the meal.

Of course the one who invite for the dinner is the one who will pay the bill, or sometimes all of us shares to pay the bill.

it really depends. i suppose if you are invited by someone then they pay but if it's something like a get together then everybody pays their share.

It is relative. Depends with whose friends am I with (closer or not so closer), depends from the fact that maybe someone is celebrating something, but if we go to normal dinner we all pay individually, what we have had eaten.
