And, if your date happens to be a type A clean freak, who you really hit it off with, will you change your habits? I ask because I'm a type A clean freak and have no desire to spend my life cleaning up after a man. I'd rather see early on what a pig he is, so I can find someone else. Yes, it's enough to make me find someone else because I absolutely can not stand clutter, filth, or a mess. And if it takes you hours to clean your home, I'm assuming you are a slob. No offense, but that's what it sounds like, though you may think differently.
Hmm, my brother used to be a slob and then he married a woman like you and now he's organized. He said he knew he was in trouble when he opened her fridge the first time he went to her place and all the drink cans were facing the front and lined up perfectly.
I have no idea what was going on in my SOs house before we met, because 1-2 weeks before I was due to come out and spend the weekend, everytime we talked after work and I asked what he was doing, he said cleaning.
From what I understand, his house was pretty trashed, per his mom and friends. His last gf and her daughter did a number.
I can believe it, because I have seen pictures! :shock:
We have stuff laying here and there and it does seem to accumulate....I don't see anything wrong with you sprucing up before someone comes over. If you get it **** and span clean like new, it isn't hard to keep it that way. Just try and put things away when you are done with them and clean up after yourself.

OMG what was that movie with Julia Roberts where she had to get away from her husband and start her life over??? All the towels had to be perfectly aligned as well as all the cans, etc...
I spent about 4-5 hours engaged in heavy cleaning before hand, and got the place looking brand spanking new.
I'm not a "slob" by any means, but my last date commented how "clean" I was.
You live alone correct? If it took you 4-5 hours in heavy cleaning then I hate to break it to you, but you are a slob. The good news is, it bothered you enough that someone might see this mess that you cleaned it up. Is it deceitful? Well if you let it all go to hell and don't maintain this then yes, it is.
Now, instead of letting it all go to hell and needing to spend another 4-5 hours the next time you want to entertain, why not just maintain it?

As one proverb says: "If a shepherd has a good wife she would make him king."

LOL! It would take me at least that much time to get the house ready for company and I don't think we're exactly slobs. We're busy with other important things.
For the OP, no it's not being dishonest if you have to clean up before inviting a date over. Most of us are messier than we should be, but in our heart of hearts, we're clean, organized, beautiful people.
So you're just taking advantage of the situation, in a good way, to let someone know who you are in the best possible light.
The other day I was suppose to have company over. I spent about 4-5 hours engaged in heavy cleaning before hand, and got the place looking brand spanking new.
As I was emptying all the trash off the bed (I usually sleep on the couch), it occurred to me - am I being deceitful by completely cleaning up the place?
Will she be let down when (as the dates go on) things get progressively dirtier?
I'm not a "slob" by any means, but my last date commented how "clean" I was.
I wanted to laugh.
Is heavy cleaning expected or deceitful, and does anybody not do it?

It's one thing to be untidy or disorganized, but you sound like you like in filth, and that's just nasty.

You can always create new habits!
Exactly what I was going to say!
