An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal．If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him，you may say __1__ like this，“I’m afraid it'll have to be someplace __2__，as I have very little money．” The other person may say，“OK．I'll meet you at McDonald’s．” This means that the two agree to go Dutch，that is，each person pays for himself．He may __3__ say，“Oh，no．I want to __4__ you to lunch at Smith's，” or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there．They’re great．” This means the person wants to pay for both of you．If you feel __5__ towards this person，you can go with him and you _6__ pay for the meal．You may just say，“_7_．That would be very nice．”

American customs about who pays for dates（约会）are much the same as in the other parts of the world．In the old days，American women wanted men to pay for all the meals．But today，a university girl or a woman in __8__ will usually pay her way during the day．If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours，it __9__ “come as my guest”．So as you can see，it is a polite thing to make the question __10__ at the very beginning．
