I was thinking of what happens after “the movie” is over and
before you get your sweatpants out. What
should you have on hand to make your viewing partner comfortable?
It depends on how you want to be perceived. It is a fine line of being a bad host and
being too prepared so you come across like you run a low budget hostel and the
price of a nights stay is a 99 cent redbox movie.
Here are some suggestions.
A frozen pizza. It’s nice to have a midnight snack. If your movie partner is someone who you would kick out of your bed for eating crackers (or pizza as the current cast may be), you might want to rethink the decision to watch a movie.
Champagne. Not only
does it go well with frozen pizza, it might lead to a second viewing of the
movie. You know, now that you know when
all of the good parts are coming. A frozen pizza. It’s nice to have a midnight snack. If your movie partner is someone who you would kick out of your bed for eating crackers (or pizza as the current cast may be), you might want to rethink the decision to watch a movie.
If you are a man, it is nice if you have a tshirt that you
do not mind sharing. A pair of
basketball shorts may be nice. Both of these should come out of a drawer. Because they are clean.
Mouthwash is welcome. Having a spare toothbrush on hand is
borderline hostel owner.
Contact solution and a case is never unwelcome. Since I myself wear contacts, I would never
put someone in the hostel owner category if they happened to keep some on
hand. Just tell me that you had laser eye
surgery and never got rid of the other stuff.
Spare cash. You just
never know.
What does a girl have on hand? You don't want to have a spare pare of sweatpants or shorts for a guy because obviously that implies they are left-overs from an ex and who wants sloppy seconds?
