I've read recently that you can't invite non muslims to your house to eat food with them for pure joy. So I ask this question in the hopes I get a legitimate answer.
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him [59:23]
Re: Would it be haraam to sit next to my non-muslim friends?
I mean sit next to them to eat with them (lunch in school)

Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Re: Would it be haraam to sit next to my non-muslim friends?
Of course it isn't haraam subhanAllah.
As long as you're not doing anything haraam there is nothing wrong with sitting with a friend who isn't Muslim or eating with them. As Muslims we should be welcoming and not 'closed-off' all the time, as long as we don't compromise our own values.
It reminds me of when I was once really struggling to find halal Turkish delights, and my non-Muslim friend once brought them for me. She had especially been searching for them and, well, I was quite chuffed. So there's one of the advantages .
Re: Would it be haraam to sit next to my non-muslim friends?
Hmmm...interesting question, but I'm afraid people have not given you a more nuanced answer.
In Islam, there are rules about purification and there is a concept about contamination through contact with that which is impure. As you know, the Holy Qur'an states that the Mushrikeen are impure, hence why they are forbidden from even approaching near to the sacred Mosque.
Our beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم instructed us to avoid the utensils that have been used by Jews, Christians and Magians. If we have no choice, then they have to be properly washed.
Now of course these days washing dishes that someone else has used is customary, and people usually eat from separate dishes.
However, sometimes people eat together from the same dish so you have to be careful.

Speaking of nuances, lol, you failed to consider the situation was of a ghair mahram entering a Muslims house. I'm sure the utensils will be washed before and after use lol.
Nuance. I don't think you know how to use that word.

Well, if she turns up with a mahram, then it's all good I guess. A woman turning up to a ghair mahrams house on her own, is kinda questionable.

She who?
The OP is a male and mostly would have a male friend he wants to invite over. And since we are talking about non-mahrams, it stands to reason that invited friend would be a male.
