I live in a really small apartment with my mom and sister. Its not even a nice one either. The floors are a different color in each room, the walls are different, the tiles are coming off in the bathroom. Its a really clean apartment but just very ugly and i get embarressed to bring people over. I havnt had a boyfriend in a really long time becasue im afraid he will have to come over sometime and see what i live in.. a dumpster! I dont know what to do im reallu nervous about having one and then letting them see this place.

Any up keep as far as paint and floors is the landlords responsibility not yours. Just explain that to whoever you invite over. What it looks like other than the keeping it clean part....should have no reflection on you.

I'm sure if you did have a boyfriend what you think of your current living situations, I'm sure he'll understand! Or you could talk to your mother and sister about how you're feeling, maybe they could put in a little money into getting the place fixed (even if it is just wallpaper on the walls!)
G'luck!

mystical_breeze answered Friday November 11 2005, 1:21 pm: Clean up the place on your own a little bit. Ask your mom if she could help you paint the walls differently (paint isn't that expensive, and you can just do it yourself like what my mom does). If your apartment is clean, then at least people who come over won't get grossed out by it or anything.
About your boyfriend, if he really cares about you, he won't care much about where you live. As long as where you live is clean and good enough to hang out in, then he'll enjoy it anyway because he's with you.

Be proud of where you live and everything should fall into place. [ Lyfe8allbad's advice column | Ask Lyfe8allbad A Question ]

I understand what you mean but if he`s a good guy and everything he won`t care and if he does you didn`t need him anyways.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]
MissJessicaPaige answered Friday November 11 2005, 12:38 pm: Well,...the boyfriend part of that i can help some. If he can't understand why you live in an dumpster and you're still the same person he isnt even worth the while. And for the apartment, you could put some effort into it in your spare time, not trying to be too harsh or anything. [ MissJessicaPaige's advice column | Ask MissJessicaPaige A Question ]
