Make sure your room is fit for company before you let him in. That means hiding teddies, underwear, pictures of ex boyfriends. Seeing someone's dirty granny pants and framed photos of an ex boyfriend isn’t exactly arousing!

Don’t offer him your spare toothbrush... you’ll give him the impression you are always bringing men home. And unless you are already serious, don’t offer yours, either. He’ll be fine with his finger and some Colgate, or justmouthwashing.

You’ll show yourself off as perfect girlfriend material if you make him a fry up in the morning, and while you are at it, he can freshen up and you can consider if the night was worth it. Win win!
Following these rules has really helped my friends avoid embarrassing situations, and even helped one turn her crush into a serious relationship. I must admit though, I will miss hearing her hilarious stories about taking men home. Have you got a rule for bringing men home? Please share it with me!
