[quote=Anonymous]DS, who just turned 4, is extremely outgoing.  DH and I are both introverts, and I in particular am a little socially awkward.

If he runs into neighbors that we know on the street, he'll just invite them over to our house for dinner.  Or if he's playing with someone he likes at the park, he'll just walk up to their mom or dad, ask their name and then say: "Jane, would you and Larlo like to come to our house sometime for a playdate?"

At home, he's constantly begging me to ask other parents if they can come over or vice versa.  I will occasionally reach out and say that DS wants to play if Larlo is free etc.  But I even feel awkward doing that because DS is the one who wants to play, not us.

I think it's sweet on some level and I'm glad he's so comfortable with other people.  But, I don't know if it's weird or annoying that he does this, and if we should try to teach him not to do it.

As I mentioned, I'm a little socially awkward and I'm probably putting too much thought into this!
