 What To Do When You Wake Up Next To Someone Once, in college, after a particularly rowdy rugby party I woke up with someone whom I'd always thought was attractive but had never realized was so excruciatingly dull until he refused to leave my room for the next three hours. We woke up at around 9:00. I had invited a girlfriend over at 10:00 to do some physics homework. She came to the door and I had to go out in the hallway and explain that there was a boy still lying in my bed. I had already gotten up, showered and was clothed by this point. He hadn't budged. Why I didn't just tell him to go, I don't know. Next time, I will. But the moral of this story is that if they're getting dressed and on with their day, take that as a big ol' announcement that it's time to leave. That having been said, people actually tend to err in the opposite direction. Getting stiff and awkward when they shouldn't. Think of the hook up as a whole episode that doesn't end until you're out the door. Keep affectionate. Get dressed in front of each other. Kiss each other goodbye. It doesn't matter that you may not want anything to happen again. The alternative is worse. Horrible awkwardness, not knowing what to do with your hands, terribly distant and halting discussions, panic. Keep the mood comfortable; panic after you leave. In general, it's
usually the person who's at home--male or female--who's feeling in control. It's
up to that person to suggest breakfast, a shower, or another game of the strip
poker that got you into this situation in the first place. It's up to the guest
to pay attention and leave already if such suggestions are not forthcoming. (If
you're a boy, remember that you have to call the girl that night, no matter what.)
