would u have a bochur and a divorced single woman who is over 40 stay in your home?
one is a 25yr old bochur who really wants to come for a shabbos,and isnt from here and the other is a dear friend of mine who really needs a place for shabbos,she is always alone for shabbos,and just went thru something terrible and called and asked if she could come.I told her about the bochur and she said she is too old for him anyway so it shouldnt be a problem for her.
I never have mixed guests stay over but not sure what to do,I have two floors the bochur could stay downstairs and her upstairs.
the bochur I could put off again(3shabbosim,I had to cancel for various reasons,but now someone wants me to check him out for a shidduch)and to mention my dh is looking forward to this bochur coming and so am I.
what do u think??

Did u ask the Bachur if he minds? I think if you have space for both and you are all ok with it. Why not? you will be helping out 2 people that need where to be for shabat

Oh, you mean at the same time? Hmmm....I think I wouldn't. If I had to host them on the same Shabbos, I'd try to have one sleep at neighbors and have the other sleep in our house. I see no problem having them both over for meals, but sleeping doesn't feel right, even if the woman does feel she's "too old" for the bocher.

We have never been as makpid on not having girls and bochurim at the same time-- but we've always made sure we knew exactly who our guests were, and we took time to ensure tznius, etc. For example, we've had the kinds of girls and bochurim who would all but ignore each other at the Shabbos table-- and DH & I take care to always be around and especially not leave the kitchen / dining room area until the girls go upstairs and the bochurim downstairs.
As for your predicament, if they each know what to expect, I don't see it as a problem, and kal v'chomer if they don't speak the same language!!

one's a bachur and one is a 40 year old divorcee... don't see why that would be a problem. unless, you plan on putting them in the same bedroom
