Oh my goodness, if someone invited me to such a place, I would be there like, every chance I could! And I would provide goodies to eat! Idk, I find this with people a LOT. I invite people for coffee and whatnot all the time and I hear, "Oh, that would be so fun!! We should totally do it." People are kind of lazy and stuck in their own comfort zones. I don't think it's totally personal in most cases; I just think people have, in general, lost the desire to reach out to each other. Sad, really, but true.
