[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if people don't like to host in their homes, they should definitely invite you out to a restaurant to reciprocate.[/quote] This is what we do. We just don't have the space in our condo for this - but we would invite you out to dinner to reciprocate. That being said, I think OP needs to change her mindset. You don't know what goes on in other people's lives. Maybe they are poor, maybe they have a marriage on the rocks, maybe a sick relative at home. Who knows!? But, to put your belief and cultural system onto someone else - seems unfair.[/quote] I am not sure that this is a "cultural belief" that when someone opens up their home to you and shows hospitality, the polite thing to do is to reciprocate [b]in some way[/b]. It seems that you do this by taking people out. Others have other ways of reciprocating. Just something to make the other person feel valued and appreciated. [/quote]
