Is it unusual for a man and a woman to go out to eat or to the movies just as friends?

I have ,and the bs about one is gay posted below ,,a kid

When you have lots of unmarried female friend
Occasionally one asks would you like to go to a movie ,a concert or out to eat

I like to pay ,I enjoy the company
Just like them ,things are not as fun when you have no one to share it with ,

So a good friend is much better then alone
And she knows your not expecting anything afterwards
You could have done that and by passed the night out .
and that lets her enjoy the time out that much more
