Dinner Time

Many of us enjoy going out for dinner, or to a friends house for a bbq, but what happens when it comes time to eat and drink? For example, in the case of a bbq, should you only eat what you brought or the equivalent (i.e don't eat the steak if you only brought sausages) or because its a group situation should you feel free to help yourself to whatever is on offer?

Also if you are eating out with a group, should you split the bill evenly amongst the group, regardless of whether you've ordered the most or least expensive thing on the menu, or should everyone pay for what they ordered?

Look its dinner etticute ( i know I dont know how to spell). Bbq situations are a hard thing to think about but I think If a person invites you over for a bbq its there right as a host to provide all the meat cause its there bbq theyll be using. Guest sould only bring the cold foods like salads, the side dishes as you may. But my logic is if they invite you over to their house and dont tell you to bring anything then you dont have to.

Group situation in a restaraunt depends as well. For birthdays, the birthday boy/girl DOES NOT PAY. If its a bunch of friends meeting up just for dinner, then each pays for their own meal, except if someone could afford it but got draged along anyway well then its their friends responsibility to make sure their meal is paid for. I mean they did tell you they couldnt afford it but u insisted them come anyway. In a date situation Its the person that instigate the date that pays not the other way round, But look out because If you pay for the meal then the other person is obligged to pay you back for another meal if the date was sucsessful the other party qwill call you and invite you out, If not then srry but stiop ringing everyday. its normally a sign that there NOT INTERESTED.
