And when money is involved, what’s your approach to not make it turns into an endless awkward back and forth because both sides want to pay?

Offer to pay, if they decline accept it, but declare “next time it will be definitely my turn” and remember that for next time.
I recommend this too. Some of my friends and I take turns paying for things such that we’ve long forgotten who was first. It makes it so that you always have an excuse to see a friend (“Hey, I owe you a beer!” or “You owe me a beer!”). It’s so easy to get sucked into work and life and such, that it’s sometimes the little push I need to see them, or the excuse I need to get them to come over.
