[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"(PP still here: but as I mentioned above I do work really hard and often to organize outings to museums, pool, local free or low-cost stuff around town, fun dinners out, that type of thing, so hopefully our friends do still feel we are extending ourselves and enjoy them and wish to reciprocate in this way!)

Yeah, I can see that point of view.  I guess then, I just probably cannot be close friends with, or move in circles with, people like this b/c we are probably in two different places in our lives right now. . . no harm, no foul, I think people like you are very nice people and it's very nice that you host a lot, but I think we have different priorities. . . good luck to you.[/quote]

(And, actually, given the above, then I would kind of wonder why you kept issuing invitations to me. . .to get back to the original question - lol.  !  If it matters to you about reciprocating, and I clearly cannot, then yes, I would wonder why you kept inviting us to stuff.)  :)  [/quote]

Op here - this is NOT my opinion... I consider hosting anything where someone else does all the work of logistics, timing, etc, so all I have to do is show up.   Who pays has nothing to do with "hosting".  I asked the question initially with THAT in mind - that if we were always the ones doing the inviting for whatever (not always a party) if you say yes are you happy about it. :)  Given the post that said lots of hosters are posting looking for reasons why people don't reciprocate it may be that I actually AM the only person in DC who thinks this way! LOL!  And PP - if you do lots of organizing, that works for me...I'd definitely think it's a good thing.[/quote]
