>>1074668The point is you invite them, even if they say no, ESPECIALLY if they've just given you some free food, lodgings and fresh catch. Sweden can get really fucking boring and older people always love to share some wisdom or just shoot the breeze with willing, interested younger people, even with a language barrier. It's just rude and obnoxious not to even try - people like those jolly brothers enjoy company, you can make it work even if you don't share any language in common.
The point is you have to be outgoing and try, anon, even if it's outside of your comfort zone. It's how you grow and develop, and how you learn incredibly interesting things and see the broad depth of humanity - by being open and friendly to strangers, especially ones who have been kind to you. At the very least you offer, and if they are reclusive or shy or don't like talking, they decline - this is called tact, something Swedes are very good at - the unspoken language and implicit meaning in Scandi cultures is incredibly subtle. Try it anon, you'll meet some amazing people and hear things you could never imagine.
