My friends here is very nice to me that they buy me meals and drinks sometimes even though I am very much indeed intended to pay on my own. I'm not used to free meals.
I have tried saying:
"We are just friends so you cannot pay for me!!!"
"Why??? I'm not local so your custom does not fit me!!!"
"I must pay myself (because you know I earn more than you)"
"Get my bills, please. I BEG you dear!!!"
"OH PLEASE......"
Above are NO USE at all until I gave them the bills and disappear real quick in 0.1 sec.
How can I immerse the mind of going dutch into their thoughts?
invite them for a meal and tell them they are your guests and will pay.
Keep insisting - politely - and don't listen to their protests.
If they keep pressuring you say something like:
"you have treated me, it is my turn"
make sure you get the bill - seat yourself in a location so you have access to do this.
Just make it clear you are paying because friends take turns.
Easy. Start talking about your "new boyfriend". I promise, once he knows he has no chance of getting your boobs he will be happy to let you pay.

Best advice, ever!
Girls thinking that men are nice to them without afterthought hahaha, seriously?
I'm nice and gentle only with girls I find attractive and with who I have a chance to...
Others are literally invisible.Sjama:
I was always nice to girls, even though i wasn't interested. Especially now, when I have a girlfriend, I am not interested in anyone else, but I still always try to be nice.
You shouldn't discriminate girls by their appearance; be nice to all of them, but close only to the ones you like.
As long as you've made him clear of your intentions, don't worry about it.
I will help you paying the bills when you dine with your friends. Being a man, it will work. Then, as we will make a preliminary agreement, you will pay me back. Add a 15% commission on it.
You have to do the sneaky pay, if you're out with someone who always pays for you, wait til they go to the bathroom, or pretend to go to the bathroom and do it yourself!
