Have you ever gotten the feeling that although you have been invited somewhere, you have outstayed your welcome? When is the good time to leave without being rude?

This is sort of a difficult question to answer as there can be several answers based on the circumstance.
I try to leave before I ever get "that feeling".
If I went over to watch a movie, I stay only a little after the movie has ended to talk about it and make future plans. Then I take my leave.
I try not to spend more than 2 hours (unless there is a movie) in any case so as to not push my luck.
If you were invited over to dinner, only stay long enough to help with dishes and get a few more minutes of chit chat in (I'd say no more than a 1/2 hour).

If I get the feeling, I just tell them I have to leave and do something at home that can't wait any longer. Usually that never happens because it is me who gets bored so I use that famous line of mine. Works all the time.

If you are asked to leave and you don't then you have out stayed your welcome.............but you can leave easily without being rude jus say good bye. Dont be self conscious jus be yourself!

Before the hostess hangs herself in the stairwell.
After that, it's really awkward.

As soon as you feel unwelcome
