[quote=Anonymous]I love having people over, and regularly host gatherings of all size. But I invite people over because I enjoy their company and want to host. I have no expectations that they'll do the same for me. IMO, inviting people with the expectation that you'll get some sort of payback is the height of entitlement and rudeness. Somebody should decline a dinner invitation because they can't (or don't want to) pay you back? Sorry, that's ridiculous. I invite people because I like their company - their ability/willingness to reciprocate has no bearing on whether I want them in my house next Friday. If I found out that a friend declined a dinner invitation because they were worried about how to pay me back .... well, I don't know whether I'd laugh at them or cry. Life is much more pleasant if you stop trying to keep score about everything. Do what you want to do, invite people when you want to, and enjoy their company in the moment.[/quote]
