Back when you were a young girl, sleepover at your best friend’s place used to be the most fun thing you could do on a weekend. Well, now you’re all grown up and realise that adult sleepovers, while they can be fun, they are also far more complicated compared to the ones you had when you were 12.
While adult sleepovers are far better (in different ways) from the ones you had during your childhood days, adult sleepovers come with a few challenges. We’re also pretty sure that those who have been through it will attest to this. It doesn’t really matter whether it’s a one-night stand or a guy you’re getting serious with, but the first time you stay the night together can make for a very awkward experience (and also a little exciting).
Here are some of the awkwardly funny and weird things that seem to happen every time you have an adult sleepover for the first time:
Waking up with makeup from the night before – Every single woman who’s done an adult sleepover knows this struggle. It’s real and sometimes (if you’ve had too much to drink the night before) seeing yourself the next morning will sober you right up. Nothing worse than mascara smeared all over your eyes.
Having no clothes to sleep in – You didn’t know it was going to happen, because had you known, you would have prepared a very adorably sexy nightie. Instead you have to wear something from his drawer and when you do, you end up looking more awkward and less cute. Whatever it is, the look that you’re donning in his button up shirt didn’t look as cute as you thought it might have on you.
Bedhead game not so strong – You were kind of hoping you could wake up with flawless hair and look like a total Greek goddess but instead you wake up with plenty of pillow creases on your face and morning breath that could knock him out. To be fair, he’s got his own morning breath, so really it’s awkward for the both of you.
Pretending to go home – Who are you kidding? It’s in the middle of the night and the last thing you want to do is hail a cab to head on home. You’re making it seem as though you want to leave but all you want is lots of kissing and cuddling. You’re not fooling anyone, including him! He knows, you know that you’re staying the night.
The walk of shame – I’m not even sure why it’s called the walk of shame. Every woman should own that walk the morning after! It’s time for you to go home and you have nothing new to put on, so you’re stuck in last night’s outfit. So, either you wear his sweatpants and t-shirt or just rock that sparkly outfit and risk the looks you get on the way home.
