When going out with friends, how can you express your consumption without embarrassment?

Going out with friends will inevitably involve some consumption, such as drinking drinks, eating, taking the subway, etc. The amount of consumption is often not particularly large, but the accumulation is enough to make people feel distressed. We want to have an AA with our friends, but are afraid of affecting the relationship between the two people. So how should we express our request for AA consumption without embarrassment?

First, make an agreement before going out. Before going out with my friends, we agreed that today we would be AA and each would spend his own money. It is better to make an agreement in advance than to repeatedly ask for AA when you go out to play.

Second, calculate the amount uniformly after the end. In the process of going out to play, there will be many purchases. It will undoubtedly be very embarrassing if you have to settle accounts with your friends after each purchase and then ask the other party to transfer money. The best way is to wait until all purchases are completed before calculating the amount uniformly. You can calculate the amount on WeChat on the way back or after returning home.

Third, bring it up directly. Instead of repeatedly testing or expressing your desire for AA in a subtle way, it is better to express it in a direct way. If you behave openly and confidently, your friends will think this is a normal thing and will not be embarrassed easily. Bringing it up directly will make people feel that it is natural, rather than thinking that you are fussy.

If there are a lot of friends going out, you can directly initiate a group payment in WeChat and directly enter the amount everyone wants to pay.

Fourth, keep your bills. If you are paying for consumption along the way, then you need to keep the bills and try to use WeChat or Alipay. This will make it easy to calculate the per capita cost at night and can also deal with the doubts of some people who are unwilling to pay.

In short, consuming the AA system is a very normal thing. Don’t feel embarrassed. There is no need to be embarrassed at all to defend your wallet.
