Thinking about what I'd do on either side…
On the invitee side, I might casually say “oh, Steak 48 might be a little rich for my blood!”
On the inviter side, I might take that opportunity to discreetly tell them “don’t worry about it.”
Somehow an exchange like that feels a lot less awkward to me than either the invitation stating it up front or prolonged ambiguity.
- mock-possum 4y agoyep, these kinds of discussions are frustrating for me, because it seems so clear that open honest communication proves them a non-issue. If you can't afford something, say so. If you'd like compensation or reciprocation for something, say so. If you want to cover everything, say so. Letting fear of the conversation prevent you from having it makes the issue worse, not better.
