Re: Friend that\'s a girl expects me to pay for drinks, awkwardness ens
in the grown-up world, i think someone like Dear Abby would say that whoever makes the invitation should pay unless something else is agreed upon beforehand. obviously it's often a little different when girls are involved, but if i were in your situation, i would expect to split the tab or be treated, not to be footing the whole bill.
i think the way you handled it was fine, and that your little explanation helped make it less awkward for both of you -- she probably felt embarassed for assuming that you were paying once she found out you weren't!
