Jan 28, 2024 | News On Japan

TOKYO - Home dates can be a relaxed way to enjoy private time together, but without awareness, you might overstep boundaries. This time, we have compiled points that disappoint men during home dates.

Is a Sweats Style Okay for Home Dates?

Men might be surprised to see you in a jersey even though it should be totally fine... What actions show a man is truly in love? What are the traits of a "mood beauty" rather than just a "beautiful woman"?

Messy Rooms

The atmosphere of the space and the presence of trash can influence the impression of a room. Even if it looks clean at first glance, finding fallen hair or garbage left on the desk should be avoided. It's good to keep up with cleaning and tidying regularly.

Sweats Style

The biggest charm of home dates might be the ability to be your true self. This includes wearing casual sweats. However, wearing old jerseys from your student days or pilled clothes won't leave a good impression. Room wear made of comfortable materials can enhance the physical closeness with your partner.

Careless Appearance

During home dates, it might be normal to go makeup-free or have a casual hairstyle. Your partner might be thrilled to see a side of you that's not usually visible. However, a complete lack of grooming can lead to disappointment. It's recommended to relax while maintaining a decent appearance.

Minimum Preparation

Home dates are an excellent tool for closing the distance between two people. However, being too comfortable might let your partner down. Make the minimum preparations to ensure both of you enjoy a pleasant time together.
