Is it wrong to offer someone help? Is it best to wait until I am asked?

Question

If my friend is having a hard time with life and needs a place to stay, is it wrong to offer a space?

Answer 1

Agreeing with the first poster.  No problem helping them out, but set up guidelines.  There have been scenerios on here about people eating the host(ess) out of house and home and even inviting the boyfriend/girlfriend over to stay for a while.   This is going to be a big investment, especially financially.  Make sure you are prepared to handle this big decision.  Don't just jump into it to "feel good."

Answer 2

By all means, invite him to stay with you. He is your friend.

You can even go to his house and "tell" him that he is going to be staying with you, then ask him what you can help pack.

Good luck man!

Answer 3

Of course not. If you wait it may be too late, so hurry and ask :)

Answer 4

It's not wrong, you just have to ask it in a certain way.

It depends on the person though, but you could bring it up casually and see what they think.

If he/she agrees set some rules like how long they should stay and such.

Best of luck!
