I once invited a couple to join me for dinner at a local restaurant. It was a couple with whom I been aquainted for some time but we had never, as couples, gone out together.
At the end of the meal I took the check from the waitress and prepared to pay it. My guest, expectedly, argued with me about who should pay. I insisted, stating that it was I who invited them to dinner. The debate became, not angry, but vigerous. I won and paid the $100 bill.
It seems to have ended our friendship. They never called us and never reciprocated in any way.
So let's see, I paid and they got mad. Go figure. So, was I out of line to pay the bill.
Nothing was pre-arranged about payment of the bill. I just felt it my duty, as the invitor, to pay the bill.
