Letting my boyfriend stay over?

So my parents are going away this weekend, and I was thinking of having my new boyfriend (of a month) over.
But the thing is..I haven't had someone over at my house for 5 years. I dont know, I just hate my house. its really small and I just feel like its not good enough for anyone.
Its not bad per se, just...so small...and needs a lick of paint in some parts but theres nothing i can do about that now.
Should I just take the plunge and let him come over? Or just not tell him my parents are going away and wait it out for a bit longer?
It should probably be noted he has a pretty big house in a really nice area... 5 bedrooms 2 with en suite.
I hate 3 bedrooms...no en suites.
ee!

do it do it do it!
Why are you concerned about what your house looks like? As if he's really gonna think anything different of you if your walls need a bit of paint?!
You make it sound like people with 3 bedroomed houses, which make up the majority I take it, are living in a ghetto, or something.
If you want him to come over, ask him!
I'm sure he cares a lot more about you than what your house is like! My boyfriend's house is quite a bit bigger than mine but it's never stopped me having him over..

uh oh...that was meant to read i HAVE a 3 bedroom no en suits. not HATE...sorry
I'm hoping because he's a guy he won't really notice?
Blah. Ill do it and if he doesn't like it then....its not really worth it

Yeah just go for it, and if he looks down on you because of your house (and I see no reason why he would..) then he really really isnt worth it!
I doubt he will be that worried about what the house looks like.

Makes no difference. Invite him over, doubt he'll be focusing on the house. :smile:

It's wierd how I'm in excactly the same situation as you. I live in a tiny council house with three bedrooms(well not that tiny) But it's nothing compared to my bf's house, will he care? Any boys know from experience when they had less fortunate gfs?
Since when was three bedrooms a bad thing? Try two! :rolleyes:

i think men only care about the bed and the reason they are going there. howeverr with girls it is different. my mate invited a girl back to his uni flat after a night out. she switched on the light then walked out.

aha girls can be rather judgemental!

i think it was the mouldy tins and clothes strewn on the floor and the bed. she turned on the light then said 'sorry, i just cant..'

don't be generalizing :-(

Really how your house is, only a comfort factor, he should care more about you, rather than the house.

If you are going to let aesthetics get in the way of a romantic weekend, your bare unpainted walls will be laughing at you!

Exactly! It only takes just ONE to 'get too it' as well, look at it positively, the OP's BF has a choice of three. :P
