When your apartment is a mess and there's a chance a girl will be coming over ..

Re: When your apartment is a mess and there's a chance a girl will be coming ove

I did the no furniture, sleep on an air mattress thing for 6 weeks when I first moved.

 

I have a plastic Rubbermaid tub for a coffee table. That might go into the closet.

Cook/bake something for her. Then you have an excuse for the kitchen being messy.

Got you beat. I slept on an air mattress for five months because I didn't have the money to move all my furniture across the country, and then didn't have the money to buy a bed.

I slept on the floor of my house when I first bought it for a week. The electricity and gas wasn't on yet either, but it was my own house so I didn't care.

Now, if girls are coming over, I try to do a quick clean. Another thing to think of is hiding your "killing kittens" material (be it towels, lotion/lube, videos or magazines). She knows you scrap out, but she doesn't need to see the evidence.

Toilet, Bathroom, Kitchen, Sheets

you can do the sheets when she makes her pre-coital bathroom visit.

 

Make sure there's something in the fridge for breakfast, you know, just in case.

My bathroom isn't equipped with a cabinet under the sink, which I've never seen before. So the mags rest atop the toilet -- in the clear view of everyone who walks near them. I figure, "Eh."

 

I'm sleeping on just a futon mattress. One blanket that's too thin. One plate. One fork. One spoon. One knife. One glass. No pots or pans.

 

I don't have any spoons. You think you're better than me, Xan?

 

So I guess you don't have the 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife problem, eh?

 

I did three months like that for an internship.

Everything I took with me fit in the trunk of a Ford Taurus.

Air mattress, box of books, camping chair, tiny TV, laptop, folding table.

Get a mattress pad. I'm not a big fan of them on real mattresses, but I'm a recent convert to their greatness on futons.

Also, plastic utensils at Sam's Club. $6 for 500 spoons. They'll last you a fucking year.
