This assumes of course that your friend has a smartphone and is curious about Bitcoin. Just say you wanna buy their lunch..... and show them how to pay the bill with Bitcoin.
 
  • Go to lunch; They drive, YOU buy
  • Go to the app store to download and install the Mycelium wallet (or your fave)
  • Send your friend enough bitcoin to pay for lunch
  • Show them how to pay the bill with their phone
  • Thank them for buying your lunch ;)

==============
 
  • When you get back home, show them how to do a backup, buy online, get more Bitcoin, work for Bitcoin, get a coinwidget or changetip address for their social pages (ie: kenCode.tip.me), etc.
  • Send your friend another couple bucks for the gas money
  • Next time, THEY buy for someone, and so on

==============
 
If we all start buying each other lunch, just think how many more businesses will come on board with Bitcoin! :)

This is a great idea, no better way to show people how easy it is to use Bitcoin than including someone in a basic transaction!

This also assumes you know of a place that will take bitcoin for food.
