i went out for coffee the other day with a friend to Tim Horton's. She and i have gone for coffee here before and we always pay separately, each for our own.
she ordered a sandwich, coffee and then said hey maggie, add yours on there. for whatever reason i said "no you should pay for yours first." she insisted "no put your order on" again I said "no, you should pay for yours."
she fumbles in her wallet for credit card and ATM card, to which the clerk says no we only take cash.
"Well Maggie I guess you'll be paying for it!" and she laughed.
I paid for it but I felt manipulated and used.
If someone doesn't have money and is up front about it, I am ok with it. It was her approach that bothered me. I havent known her long, and I am debating ending this while there isnt much invested. She has shown her colors in other ways, also. Inviting herself over for a specific dinner, and including herself in my plans without asking are 2 examples.
Are my instincts right? Do I walk now not later?
