What does her place say about her?

When you head over to a new girls place for the first time, your initial impressions can say a lot about how you feel about this person. Are her roommates cool? Does she live alone? What kind of state is the apartment in? All these factors combine to leave an impression – either positive or negative. For example, her messy room might indicate that she is either a slob or incredibly busy. But what about the pictures on her wall, her color theme, and the elusive stuffed animals on the bed? What do these things tell you?

Let’s begin with the posters hanging on her wall. Some people hang photos of famous icons (musicians in particular) while others like to plaster their walls with motivational words. If she falls into the latter category, then she’s a super motivated individual who thrives on inspiration and goal setting. On the other hand, if her wall is covered in pictures of Jimi Hendrix or Led Zepplin, then you can comfortably assume that she likes to smoke pot and her music taste is up to par. Also lookout for the art in her room – Is it a Picasso poster, or an original piece? Collectors of originals are usually creative minds, and she might’ve even painted it herself.

Now, we turn to the books. When she leaves the room for a bit, this is your chance to snoop her book collection and see what type of books she likes to read. Does she have the entire Twilight series? Or does she have a collection of books on the meaning of life? Scoping her book collection will give you a good sense of her real interests and personality. The same goes for her music collection.

Other items you may come across will exhibit her quirks. Some girls hold onto interesting things for very sentimental reasons. Let’s examine that old, ragged stuff toy on her bed – there has to be a story behind it. She’s probably had it since she was a kid, and has a hang-up about sleeping without it. Depending on your perspective this could be seen as endearing or downright weird. If you notice something strange or interesting, then you should definitely ask about it as it can provide a lot of insight into your love interest.

Pat on yourself on the back for being invited over to her place, because she’s definitely sharing apart of herself with you which is always a good sign. Just be careful not to be too inquisitive or to come across as a nosey prick. Be respectful, and take the signs as they come.
