Should I ask ta for money to book a hotel for a visiting friend?

I think it is necessary to book a hotel for a friend. There is nothing to worry about! A friend is visiting, you didn't invite him. If you invited your friends, that's another matter. Otherwise, as a local, you have tried your best to help him book a hotel. Do your best. Some things don't need to be thought too much.

Of course, if you think you have this friendship with your friend, then it is understandable that you help him out of the hotel. But you raised this question, which shows that there is not so deep friendship between you. So there is nothing wrong with asking for money. After all, your family doesn't run a hotel, even if your family does, you still need the cost.

And if your friends are sensible, you don't have to worry. He will give it to you naturally. If he doesn't even know this basic etiquette, then you have nothing to be ashamed of. Because friends are mutual, no one should do anything for anyone. Of course, another possibility is that you go to this friend's house and he pays the hotel fee for you, so naturally someone else comes to your place and you help to book the hotel and pay the hotel fee. Is this called reciprocity?

Actually, I think getting along with friends is the same as getting along with couples. Everyone should pay for each other. If only one party pays blindly, the other party will feel more and more at ease.

I remember a story about two friends, A and B, who each got an egg every day. A doesn't like eggs, so A gives them to B every day. B was grateful at first, but as time went on, B became more and more comfortable.

Until one day, A gave his egg to C, but B couldn't accept it anyway, so he broke off contact with A and turned against him. Because B has taken A's egg as his due, because he has forgotten that it belongs to A, so once A stops giving it, he can't accept it. Therefore, it is the long-term way to get along with friends, otherwise one day they will turn against each other like A and B.

I think sincerity is the basis for friends to get along. Friendship is not necessarily how much you spend. A friend who really wants to get along with you should value your character and your unique charm, not how much money you spend on him. If your friend measures your friendship by how much you spend on him, then such a friend is nothing! Because his appetite will get bigger and bigger, one day you will not be able to satisfy his appetite, he will abandon you sooner or later, and he has never regarded you as a friend.

Relax, you have done a good job, and getting along with friends should be relaxed and happy, without so much ideological burden.
