Please reconsider!! It is not weird at all. The people are really great. Check out their references and give it a try. You can tell by their references if you want to host them or not!!! The people who might really "weird you out" do not even know about these sites!!! You communicate with them by email and/or phone before they even know where you live and if you do not like the sound of them...you are busy that weekend and can't host them. That has not happened to us except as I mentioned above in my post...the ones that join for a specific event. That is not the spirit of the sites.
