Dear Eric: I have a friend who has moved several states away but comes back to visit at least once a year. She has many friends in this area, and I know she is busy trying to fit us all into her schedule. When she and I meet for lunch at a local higher end restaurant, we have a couple of drinks, and she always orders steak. We’ve been doing this for 10 years. I started off with picking up the tab. Wouldn’t you think at least one time she would offer to pick up the tab? I know I would if the shoe were on the other foot. It’s not a big thing for me. Just wondering what you think.
Asking Eric: Freeloading friend hasn’t paid for lunch in a decade
