[quote=Anonymous]I am an introvert and had trouble hosting AP's, but for different reasons than you expect. As an introvert, I like to have close relationships with a few people, and I don't have a lot of tolerance for small talk. I absolutely expected my AP to become one of those people. I was looking forward to dinner conversations where we talked about what had happened with my children , what she thought about America, her own family, etc. it simply was not like that. Instead, our conversations were filled with things like politics or the weather and some logistics. I found it all extremely painful. My suggestion to you is to screen carefully, find someone who speaks English well, and find someone you "click" with. Living in the same household with someone I do not have a personal and meaningful relationship with was very difficult.[/quote]
