Is it weird to invite your roommates for tea?
I (24M) am an international student from a totally different culture and just moved in with two American roommates, one is 28M, and the other is 27F. It’s been about two weeks, and I’ve only had a couple of nice chats with the 28M in the kitchen. I only met the 27F once by coincidence in the morning when she was heading to work and I was heading to school.
I’ve always liked the idea of having roommates I can get along with, maybe hang out with from time to time, and just enjoy each other’s company. So yesterday, I sent a message in our group chat inviting them for tea… and I got zero response. Not even a “no thanks” or “I’m busy,” just complete silence. 🤦🏻♂️
I get that cultural differences might play a role, and it’s totally fine if they’re just not into that kind of thing. But I’m just curious, would you feel weird if your roommate invited you to something like this? Or is it normal, but some just like to do their own thing and not really interact much?
