That cute guy you just matched with on Grindr happens to be your childhood friendโs buddy, making the idea of bringing him back to your chaotic apartment utterly terrifying. Your living space currently screams feral bachelor pad rather than the cozy sanctuary of a functional adult male. It is time to drop the illusion that your lack of furniture is a minimalist design choice and admit you are simply terrified of domestic commitment. You secretly experience massive fomo when looking at other gay couples buying overpriced throw pillows and matching rugs on Instagram. Do yourself a favor and buy some real glassware, so this potential new boyfriend doesn't have to drink tap water out of a protein shaker.

YES:buy matching wine glasses, hide your scattered laundry
