[quote=Anonymous]OP, like you I love to give dinner parties. We have a nice dining room, I enjoy cooking, and we prefer the more relaxed and intimate setting of a dinner party (regardless of whether we're hosts or guests). At a dinner party you can have a real conversation -- not just chit-chat. Sure, over the years we've found that some people don't reciprocate, but sometimes we don't reciprocate either. There are lots of reasons for this -- as others have cited, some people don't like to cook or don't feel they have the space, or sometimes life gets in the way -- (and please don't delude yourself into thinking that because someone hosts happy pictures on FB, her life is just going along in a candy-colored dream -- FB is not real.) In any case, I've just decided over time not to let the reciprocation thing get in the way of friendship -- largely because others have cut us slack at times when we had too much going on to host them.
