Shoes on or shoes off - early dating stages...

[newlifenewname]

I'm 'conducting' the next stage in my dating at my house (for dinner).

It's going to be ridiculous as I don't have a sofa, table or any chairs and, although I absolutely DO NOT anticipate shagging, I am sleeping on a blow up bloody bed.

What I want to know is, as this is still very early days and I am still trying to look as good as possible, how do I wear shoes (esp. in my own home) without looking silly and like I'm trying too hard??

Feels weird to wear a dress and then barefoot as I normally would be at home, but then answering door in heels feels like I'm just about to go out.

Please nobody suggest dodgy heeled mule slippers - I couldn't do it to muself!

TIA

Crocs?
Very easy to slip off if you change your mind.

dress and barefoot definitelyt, goeggous and yet effortless.. perfect

Definitely barefoot, shoes looks too try hard!

What are you going to sit on to eat is surely more important, no?!?

Hang on, no sofa, table or chairs?
Are you eating off the floor. Will look a bit odd shoes or no shoes?

Pedicure and barefoot

Go out to dinner. Put off cooking for him as long as possible.

do you not have any furniture what so ever sweetie?? am at no sofa if you dont mind me saying so!
i think dress and barefoot would look gorgeous.
But also think 2nd date requires going somewhere other than home.....

Obvious I changed what I was thinking mid sentence, crap english!

So, why would you invite someone for dinner when you have no furniture...I'm intrigued!?!

Wow your worrying about your shoes when you don't have any furniture? If i was you i would cancel & go out, at least you can dress up & wear some lovely heels too

Personally, I would wear ballet pumps. Do you have lovely feet? Barefoot will be very sexy; you may need to be a bit firm with him!

If you only have a blow up bed and no other furniture will he see this as a little odd as a dinner venue?

pmsl

No furniture except a blow up bed, and bare feet. Hmmmm.
Will you sit on the blow up bed to eat dinner?

Surely this is a bloody wind up!!!

they could sit on the floor like the Japanese...all they'll need is a couple of cusions but saying that...they'd still need a table.

Going barefeet would complete the "minimalist" look.

I'm feeling liberated as I let all the skeletons out of my closet in last convo with him (me being in a women's refuge and now on my uppers)

My house is gorgeous (bijou gorgeous) but I am a penniless mother of children who learnt to say "dirty b*tch" in the refuge.

Was terribly, terriblt embarrassed and down about all this but confessed and he was lovely about it.

So, now all I have to worry about is shoes...

Might possibly have sofa by end of weekend if Emmaus can deliver but banking on it still being packing boxes and blankets for comfort!

A couple of cushions and a coffee table. Background music, soft lighting. She could pull this one on, you know, in a bohemian sort of way.

By the way, does him being okay about all this make him a sap or lovely? I only have experience of bar stewards.

Barefoot...Go out & get a couple of niceish bean bags!

Get him to take you out to dinner.

What shoes have you got to choose from?

and will he pay for a babysitter?

Ah ha! This is your sneaky way of saying

"I've got a boyfriend, ooooo look at me, having a boyfriend, cooooeeeee, BOYFRIEND, oh whatever will my BOYFRIEND say?"

LOL

I think slip on/off shoes. And no he's not a sap.

Shoes is something I do have.

High heels, low heels, open toe, closed toe 50s style, sparkly heels, pumps.

I'm Kylie high though so could do with heels.

I'd feel better in jeans if I was going barefoot I think.

He's already taken me out and paid thus far and for me financially, eating in is a better option.

If he is one of those blokes who likes to, erm...'provide' then he'll probbaly love the disastrousness of it all but I am absolutely NOT the kind of woman to be taken care of! I'm trying to be a bit though.
