5. They deeply value their friendships.
Don’t joke that you hate them. Don’t joke that you’d rather be somewhere else. Show interest in them, and if they disagree about something, don’t leave it hanging. Make the point that they can still be a friend if they hate Metallica. Because they will doubt this.
6. They always wants to split the check.
Of course, they’re happy to pay it. But then you might feel beholden to them. You may resent this. If you pay it, they’re beholden to you, and what does that mean, exactly? It’s easier if you just split the damn thing. And you have to split it by item, not down the middle. They don’t want you angry because you had to pay for their high-dollar liquor. Then you’ll hate them forever.
