Is it Normal???
Is this normal? A person sent a 2 week "book" request (my minimum). He asked about doing a exchange. I said no and he asked me to decline.

The request strikes me as very unusual. And you can decline.

Many new hosts will ask if something is "normal." That actually may not be a very helpful question, as it doesn't really matter if any given thing/situation/person is "normal" or not (I've heard it said that nothing in the world is actually "normal" -- the "normal" situation is the one that never truly exists) but rather, the thing for new hosts to determine, is what YOU want to do with any given situation. OFten asking several questions of yourself and in the host community can help you determine what YOU want to do in any given situation, what policies/rules YOU will have, which may or may not be similar to anyone else's, since no one has to host "normally", and in fact, I don't think anyone can.
