A good rule of thumb? Think about what you’d be receptive to. About what you’d be okay being asked, or wanting to do. And then turn that around in your offering to others. It’s not always a perfect method, but it’s a good place to start. Treat them how you would like to be treated. Don’t be surprised if others would be as happy to be invited back to spend time with you, as you would feel if they offered you the same invitation. And if that’s not the case, most people will be honest about that, too.
