[quote=Anonymous]DH and I met a new couple recently and they invited us on Saturday to join them for dinner at their country club while our children hung out at their house. When we got to their house, they had already ordered (and paid for) food for the children, and when we got to the club, they gave their family number each time we ordered drinks or dinner - there was no option for us to pay anything. We offered to split the bill in the end and they declined.

Now we aren't sure what to do. We don't know them well - DH and I had each met the husband or wife only once or twice before. We don't belong to a club so we can't invite them to ours in return. Do we invite them out to dinner as our guests? Do we invite them over and I cook (I'm a good cook but it would still be dinner at home as opposed to their fancy club)? Do we just say thank you and wait a while before suggesting another date?

We are relatively new in our town and they are old establishment, so they already have loads of friends whereas we are just making friends. They are nice and we enjoyed their company, but we would not likely suggest another date right away except for the feeling that we should reciprocate.

Thoughts on how we should proceed? Our child will likely see theirs soon - the girls are same age and really enjoyed each other (and play the same sport though not on the same team) so they will definitely run into each other.

Thanks for suggestions. [/quote]
