they probably don't want to be expensive and (more importantly) don't want to look like they eat a lot
 
🙁 people dont invite me out... exept to fix there computer and i charge 20 bucks for most off that. im cheap if i was int eh situation i would go A just caus that is what i would spend on myself..


but i must say this week i have one reformating for a teacher and one video card replacement each for 50 bucks for a lady downt the streat. man those people dont know how easy what im doing realy is. the only thing about the reformating is ill have to set up window again so she may pay me more and for the video card im just going in and telling her if its worth it to replace it so a second and third visit will fallow weather to order a new one then replace hers or help her order a whole new computer. hehe then my rates will go up.
 
When I treat somebody I want them to have a good time,I chose the restarant,you order whatever you like
from the menu!
 
A, but that is in part because water is what I normally get anyway 😛

Haven't touched soda in about a year and a half🙂

C., Baby! When someone invites me out I go for the high end meals. If they weren't prepared to lay out the cash then they shouldn't have invited me.

The last time my wife and I were invited out, a few months ago, there were four of us and the tab was $600+. That didn't include the valet ticket that I handed to the person that invited us.

Hmm, I wonder why you haven't been asked out since...

cause they didn't want to feel obligated to give it up.
 
It depends normally I would say b. I would NEVER do C. But once, I was invited out to lunch in advance (a couple of weeks). This person had been unreliable (cancelled) in a previous engagement, so I had brought my lunch as usual. He was pissed because I only ordered lemon-aid, but I already had food and saw no need to waste his money, and I was not gonna starve if something else creeped into his appointment book.
