Eating
An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. lf a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “l'm afraid it' ll have to be
someplace cheap, as l have very little money." The other person may
say,“ OK, I 'll meet you at McDonald 's."
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say“, Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith 's," or“ I want you to try the Chinese
dumplings there. They ' re great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If
you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn ' t pay for the
meal. You may just say, “ Thankbyeovue.

the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my
gues(t 4 ).” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very
beginning.
