What is the word for the following situation?

Hello All:

I need to find a word for the following situation. Please help me.

I asked one of my goodfriends to have lunch with me, but he always pays for the lunch. I feel very uncomfortable and would like to tell him that I feel hesitate. However, I do not want to say the word "hesitate" because I am not hesitate to have lunch with him. I just feel uncomfortable that he's paying for the lunch. What is the best word for me to tell him that "I feel uncomfortable if you keep paying for the lunch?" And, what is the way to say to him that next lunch is my turn to pay for the lunch?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Nancy

The word is "treat."

You just say "Jim (whatever his name is), I really enjoy our lunches together, but it's time you let me treat."

And it's fine to say "I feel uncomfortable that you keep paying for lunch. It's my turn."

Yes, using what GG suggested:
next time's my treat

What i suggest..
The best way to express your feelings, that you want to pay.

Just put a smile on your face in front of his/her face and simply say

1. Hey John, Now its my turn.
2. Let me shake my Billfold/ credit card

As well as a specific word concerns, I don't think so there is particular word for such kind of situation.

Your friend may simply feel hesitant to have a female buy his meal. You could also "ease" into your paying by first suggesting that you go "Dutch treat" once. Each person pays.

I have to warn Nancy that some males may never accept that. That is/was the old fashioned way. She may have to accept that, try to convince him (but shouldn't work too hard at it) or just give up
