Thank you for hosting - to clarify, is this for dinner or after dinner cocktails? Either is great.” Or something along those lines. We’re all a bit out of practice in socializing because of Covid. Your hosts should have made it clear what the invite is for.

I agree. No need to dance around the issue.

Some people eat dinner later and 7pm is pre-dinner cocktails.

And some people don’t.

Your host hasn’t issued a very good invitation if you don’t know what you’re being invited for. My guests would know whether I’d be providing light refreshments or a full meal.

It’s not for dinner. Eat before going.

You need to ask. We have friends who eat at 5 and friends who eat at 8.

No, they don’t need to ask. Hosts did not say it would be for dinner.

If it was for dinner, the person would have said dinner.

Also, did the invitation specify some sort of activity? Like, come over to play pool, watch TV, for a party??

No context...

Wear nice lingerie and bring condoms. And lube, lots of lube.

Well … if it’s for drinks, or Uno or a seance wouldn’t the hosts have said that too? It’s super bizarre that the OP actually doesn’t know why they’re going to this persons house, and thinks it odd to ask for clarification.

Eating and playing games are not quite the same thing.

Are they really that different though?

Poor thing. Bless your heart.

Dinner and sex are both implied. Come prepared.

Op can you tell us exactly what was said in the invitation? This is way more interesting than a debate about whether 7pm is dinner time.

Sounds like a business meeting unless there’s info you are leaving out.

Or. A very early booty call..
