If you are going to sleep in a guy's house alone or with other people, you need to plan ahead. Spending the night with a friend or your boyfriend doesn't have to put you in crisis. Place the bag and get ready to have fun!
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Sleeping at a Friend's House
Step 1. Have fun
It will also be a new experience for you, but don't go into crisis. If you know this guy well, you will probably have a good time around him and bond even more.
Step 2. Prepare to propose activities
You certainly don't want to sit all night without having a clue what to do. Your friend may already have some ideas, but you can still bring your favorite board game or movie.
- Also listen to your friend's proposals. For example, if he wants to play a video game and you have never done so in your life, go for it. You may discover a new hobby or interest.
- Prepare a cake or cookies to eat while watching the movie or to have something to nibble on.
Step 3. Invite other people
As a group, the pressure will drop exponentially. If you and this guy are just friends, you don't have to worry about getting mistaken for a couple. In addition, the presence of other people will make it much more fun, because you will have more ideas for various games and adventures.
Step 4. Try to be a polite host
You've been invited to someone else's house, so you need to make a good impression. Try to have good manners, especially if your friend lives with his or her family. If you are not shown the house, do not browse the closets or bedrooms. Some families are more reserved than others.
- If you are not offered food, do not loot the refrigerator or pantry.
- Avoid drinking too much water or eating before bed so you don't have to get up in the middle of the night.
Part 2 of 4: Sleeping at your boyfriend's house
Step 1. Before you go to her home, take care of all those treatments that take longer
If you need to shave, trim your nails or fix your eyebrows, do it before you go so you don't waste time at his house.
Step 2. Determine limits in advance
If you and your boyfriend are not in a close relationship, talk to him about it before you go to his house. Each couple has their own needs. If you haven't set limits that are satisfactory for both of you, avoid sleeping with him.
- Establishing these limits in advance will prepare you for any situations that may arise.
- Make sure you don't take actions that you may regret later on. Be careful to avoid getting into trouble or getting a bad name.
Step 3. Get up before him
If you will be sleeping at her house later in the week, make sure you have enough time to get ready. Getting up early also gives you the opportunity to do something nice, like make breakfast or write a thank-you note. If you have to go out early, remember to say hello first.
Step 4. Make a plan to leave
If you need to go out early in the morning or decide you don't want to stay at her house all night, think of a plan. If something goes wrong, if he wants to forge ahead (and you don't) or you are allergic to his pets, have a sensible excuse. You may say that your parents need your help or that you are not feeling well.
- Don't be afraid to be honest and say you need to go home.
- Honesty is always the best policy.
Part 3 of 4: Convince Your Parents
Step 1. Find out if your parents would allow you to sleep in a boy's house
If this is your first time making a request like this, talk about it in a relaxed way so you don't catch them off guard. Asking if you can spend the night away from home is better than sneaking out or disappearing.
- If you sleep in a friend's house, they may be more tolerant. You will probably just have to agree on a time to go home and determine if your friend's parents will be there.
- If you want to sleep with your boyfriend, the argument will have to be different. You may want to seriously discuss limits and rules with your parents (and possibly your boyfriend). Showing this kind of maturity can persuade them to say yes.
- For a better chance of persuading them, introduce your boyfriend or friend and his parents to yours so they aren't complete strangers.
Step 2. Listen to their concerns and observations
Your parents want your good and may have valid reasons to doubt your request. If they have any questions, answer them clearly and honestly to reassure them that they can trust you. To reassure them, explain why you want to sleep in a boy's house and what you will do.
- If they fear for your safety, then invite more friends so that it will be more of a party than a two-person meeting.
- Decide together if you can bring a mobile phone and a charger or at least a list of numbers to call in case of emergency.
Step 3. Respect your parents, regardless of their decision
They may not say yes the first time you ask for permission to sleep outside. However, if you are mature and responsible, they may change your mind in the future. You don't have to break their trust or start arguing with them. One day you may decide to sleep at whomever you want, but for now try to cultivate a good relationship with your parents.
Part 4 of 4: Organizing the Stock Exchange
Step 1. Determine how many nights you will sleep out
To spend a single night out, you will need the bare minimum. Don't take the whole house with you. However, if you are staying for an entire weekend, you will need some spare clothes and a few more products in addition to a toothbrush.
Step 2. Prepare the bag to spend the night out
Use a small or medium sized one. Don't expect your friend or boyfriend to have everything you need. Guys can be quite spartan when it comes to personal care products and cosmetics. Think about your daily habits, then determine which items you will need before bed and upon waking.
Step 3. Make a list of everything you want to bring with you
Start with the products you need for your personal hygiene and clean clothes to make sure they fit in your bag. Then, prioritize. You will absolutely need a toothbrush and toothpaste. These items fit easily in a bag. The plate is bulky and you can probably survive without it for a day, so leave it at home. Here is an example of a list of things to bring you:
- Spare clothes;
- Clean underwear;
- Comfortable pajamas;
- Toothbrush and toothpaste;
- Travel-sized deodorant and shower preparations;
- Brush and hairpins;
- Make-up and make-up remover;
- Mobile phone and charger;
- Replacement contact lenses, eyeglass case, retainer or special medications you use.
Step 4. Make sure you are prepared on the menstruation front
Save yourself any embarrassments by anticipating possible problems. Put sanitary pads and medications you take for cramps or migraines in the bag. As long as this boy lives with his mother or sister, maybe for one reason or another you won't be able to ask them for help. Prevent annoyances and uncomfortable situations by bringing everything you need with you.
Advice
Do not carry more things than you need, otherwise you risk losing something and stressing to find it again
Warnings
- Make sure you feel comfortable around the guy who invited you or other male friends.
- Watch out for the curfew. If you have to go home at a certain time, stick to it. The same is true if you go out with this guy the very night you stop by and his family tells you that you have to come home at a certain time.
