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 something like, \afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money.\\the Chinese dumplings there. They're great.\This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, \you. That would be nice.\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 college girl or businesswoman usually pays for herself. If a man asks her to a party, it means \come as my guest.\So, as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the questions clear at the very beginning.
