this is how I expect the situation to go (unless we split evenly).
Friend 1: Let me get the check this time.
Friend 2: No I'll help, don't.
Friend 1: No, I insist.
Friend 2: Thanks so much. . .
I feel like if someone offers to pay for the whole meal, it's only polite to offer to help. I think it is rude to immediately accept the offer. At the same time, the person who originally offered should realize friend 2 is just being polite & should insist on paying.
This is how me & my friends always are, going back & forth between who gets the bill. My bf, on the other hand, doesn't know this 'game' & so I always end up paying.
I literally have to do this 'game,' or I feel rude.
Q1: Do you do this?
Q2: agree this is common courtesy?
Q3: opinions?
