Let me pay myself.

[englishhobby]

Can a person say this phrase insisting he must pay for the meals (for all the people present, not just for himself)?

Is the following exchange natural:
- Here's the bill.
- Let me pay myself.
:?:

"Let me pay" or "I'll get it" or "This is on me". "Let me pay myself" is not natural.

May I say 'it's my treat'?

May I say 'it's my treat'?

That would work, too.

"Let me pay" or "I'll get it" or "This is on me". "Let me pay myself" is not natural.

Did you mean "It's natural"?

I meant "Let me pay myself" is not natural. I suggested "Let me pay" or "I'll get it" or "This is on me" as natural alternatives.
