You accept something free even if you don't need/really want it. It was free.

@torunn saidWhat about Swedish dating, split the bill again? I used to watch Friends, remember an episode when the 6 of them went out but 3 of them didn't have much money so when the 3 with money said they were going to split the bill 6 ways the 3 without money complained.
Swedes are known for splitting restaurants bills - each person pays for what she has had to eat and drink instead of just dividing the amount among them. And we don't tip much.
For us it really depends on who you're with, If I'm out with friends we usually just pay for what we've had, family end up splitting the bill or my sister will show off and offer to pay all of it. On a date I'll wait to see what happens, if they don't at least offer to pay half there's no second date, I've been told guys in Belfast are more likely to pay the bill, nuts to that, for me it should be turn about. It's not the 1970s anymore.

@trev33 saidWhen my family eat out, somebody usually pays for the lot and we take turns, and some of them never have to pay. Among friends everybody pay for themselves - it is easier now when we pay at a cashier's desk. It could feel embarrassing when we still divided the bill at the table, hilarious sometimes.

I don't know how dating works now, it's been so long, but at my age I would expect my date to pay for everything the first times, and a little depending on how he reacts to that, we may continue with dating.

Every four years the whole population become certain your team are good enough to win the world cup, suck all the joy out of the competition and then crucify the coach/players for not doing so. Still one year to go and we're already drawing wild conclusions from performances in qualifiers against minnows...
