It can be really easy and feel really good to sleep over every day, but the more that happens, the more you lose that healthy amount of independence we all need to maintain our autonomy and confidence," Armstrong says.
To ensure that you're maintaining your autonomy, "You should never be there more than you are in your own house," relationship expert and author Alexis Nicole White , tells Elite Daily. But that's hard , especially when you just want to spend every waking and sleeping moment with bae. As easy and as tempting as it may seem to spend all your time at your SO's place, finding time for yourself is important, too. If you begin to feel like you're losing some of your independence , like Armstrong says, and you can't fathom the idea of sleeping alone, it may be best decrease how often you sleep over bae's.
But again, every relationship is different. Each couple has their own set of lines and boundaries, so what may be too much for you and your boo is just enough for me and mine. Some people are territorial when it comes to their home. Just slowly back away from the fridge, woman. Your night of fun is coming to an end. When it comes to spending the night, you and your guy are still trying to get a feel for each other.
To make things easier for the both of you, make sure that you pack up everything that you brought along with you. Leaving something behind may give him the wrong idea. It may be super tempting to go through his things, but snap out of it, sister. Now is not the time to dig through his underwear drawer or to snoop through his medicine cabinet. If your guy is like most guys, he will instantly know when something is out of place, and guess who will look like the psycho snooper? You, of course!
Not only is snooping disrespectful, but it really shows your insecurity. So keep your hands and eyes where they belong, and resist the urge to snoop. As your relationship heats up, you and your guy will likely start to share many things with each other.
But at the start of your relationship and, you should come prepared with all of your own toiletries. So make sure you have packed all of the essentials you will need for a night away from home.
Lastly, try not to make yourself at home. He makes the decisions and he calls the shots, unless he acts for your input, of course. Do your nighttime routine. This may involve washing your face, brushing your hair and teeth and doing anything else you need to do before going to bed.
Of course, at home you may have a more involved routine, but keep it streamlined for tonight. Prepare to not sleep very well. The first night you spend the night with another person, your brain actually stays a tiny bit awake during the night as a way of keeping you safe. You may wake up when your boyfriend moves around or changes positions in the bed. You may need to catch up on sleep with a nap the next day, even if you try to go to bed early.
Wear what you feel comfortable in. Even if you did plan, it may not have made sense to bring pajamas or a change of clothes. What you wear to sleep will depend on how comfortable you feel with your boyfriend and your level of intimacy. If you end up having sex or being physically intimate in other ways, you may feel comfortable sleeping with nothing on at all, or sleeping in only your underwear. You can always ask to borrow a T-shirt to sleep in.
Many guys find that endearing. There may also be things that make it hard to get comfortable, such as: [15] X Research source If he snores. You may want to bring a pair of earplugs, just in case! If one of you steals the blankets or you like very different sleeping temperatures.
Part 4. Let him sleep in. If you wake up first, you can either stay in bed cuddling with him or head to the bathroom to complete your morning routine so that when he wakes up you already look fresh. You both might want to spend the morning and even most of the day together, but you might not.
Hopefully, you already know what your plans are for the day. Is there a good place nearby? If you do, let him know. You should be able to express your feelings honestly in a healthy relationship. Leave something behind if you want. This is a fairly common flirtation tip. Be respectful if he lives with his family. If he lives with parents or siblings, you want to be respectful in their presence. Follow any house rules and behave modestly. If his parents have specified that you'll sleep in separate rooms or beds, follow that rule.
It could be disastrous if they happen to see that you've gone behind their backs. Avoid displaying too much affection in front of his family. You can of course be sweet to each other, but avoid kissing or petting each other in front of family.
He was older, of course. Or he would say that he felt weird sleeping over, because then my mom would know that we were having sex. In the two years that we dated, I think he only came over to my house four times. Had I not been 18, stupid, and desperate to date someone—anyone—after an adolescence spent being very overweight, I probably would have seen his reluctance to stay at my place for the red flag that it is. This guy certainly had others: He believed that Obama was born in Kenya, for example.
At least in the end he admitted he was wrong on that front. It was a bad relationship for a lot of reasons, but the earliest red flag was that he never came to my house. Nothing at all, except that we wash our sheets occasionally and are more likely to own actual bed frames.
Should you wake the other person up?
