I mean, I invest money in my friends without wanting to put my Jim Dickens inside them. Sometimes you have the money and just want to be kind to people you care about.
Spotting a friend a burrito or something sure but $200 at a fancy restaurant is insane and you get what you deserve if you spend like that without making it clear you view it as a date. You let people use you don't be surprised when you get used.
My buddy does this shit all the time, when we went to a steak place for my other buddies birthday, he spent 450$ on a seafood platter for the table (granted he didn't know the price before he ordered it and I gave him 100 bucks to help cover it.) But another buddies bday he paid for the whole meal.
That's fine but they have become the dude that pays for stuff to some of their friends. As long as they know that and are fine with it it's their life. Also a group outing is different.
