When I pay for someone, I'm expressing the fact that I like the person.
If that person pays for me some other time, I assume he is expressing
that he likes me. For me there is no "owing" except what is previously
stated to be so (such as when I borrow money from a friend, but its not the
same thing as paying for dinner). Mostly it's convenience.

I'm not everybody, though. Some people must feel obligated to pay for dinner
when out with a MOTOS.
