So you’ve finally gotten the opportunity to spend time with that special person in your life.
This could be someone you’ve had a crush on or a someone you’ve actually been dating for a while whom you haven’t taken that next step with. While this isn’t strictly a read for maybe “sex” it may be useful if you have it on the brain.
Here are 6 things to do before you have company:
1. Clean your house or lounging area
This includes, but is not limited to, all spaces that will be used by your guest, i.e bathroom, bedroom, living-room etc.
Make sure your home smells clean as well.
2. Replenish
After you have cleaned up. Make sure you have toilet tissue, hand soap, paper towels and every other little thing that belongs in your restroom and other areas.
3. Make sure there is nothing in plain view
In some cases, like in college dormitories and smaller living spaces, personal items are often in plain view. If you had a foot rash and don’t want your “person” to see your tough acting Tanactin, put it away in a drawer or somewhere in obscurity.
4. Do a little shopping
I’m not instructing you to make a 4 course meal, but it may be a bit of an icebreaker if you made something to eat or made some type of snack foods available, and please make sure at the very least have something to drink like water, juice, etc.
You never know, you may need to rehydrate.
5. Have some type of activity lined up
Movies, Card games, something. It may be a bit awkward to have someone over and nothing to do. Sitting and staring isn’t the most cool thing to do.
6. Personal Hygiene
Now it’s time to make sure you are groomed properly.
Ladies: Though it will depend on how you want the night to go, there may be a host of things you may want to do before company. These should include but are not limited to showering, shaving, and washing your hair. I’m a black woman and I realize you’re not about to be scrubbing your roots just for a boy. However, If you’re a weave wearer like me, keep in mind that if you plan on cuddling, stinky weave is a no-no.
Gents: It will be much simpler for you. However, that makes it that much harder to half step. Make sure you’re clean, throw on a scent and follow the above.
All these rules should at least help you get started in the direction of a good night. Keep in mind that if you have roommates that you will want to share with them that you’re expecting company to make sure your plans go smoothly.
