[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love entertaining, but never expect people to reciprocate. We invite them because we want to invite them. Because we enjoy having people over, we made sure we have a house that facilitates that (nothing fancy, but a dining room with a big table that isn't covered in crap like many of our friends!). I totally understand that not everyone has the desire or ability to (1) prepare or spend money on food, (2) get their house  in condition for guests, or (3) deal with organizing something. Presumably I'm friends with them for other reasons.

Our friends who never or rarely host are usually sure to bring a bottle of wine, offer to pick up take out, or perform other acts of friendship for us though. [/quote]

This is us exactly!  We love having people over and aren't bothered at all that it's generally not reciprocated.  I actually prefer to be in my own house, to be honest!  I sometimes feel guilty that I expect everyone to come to our place!!  [/quote]

Interesting. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. [/quote]
