When your in a new relationship everything is so exciting. He can do no wrong, and everything about him is perfect. Your both putting your best foot forward. He took you to Delmonico's for a very romantic dinner. You both survived the steep hills on your bike ride at 'The Delta Lake Loop in Rome'. He surprised you with first class tickets for the Adirondack Scenic Railroad 'Beer And Wine Tasting Train' that was so much fun. We went to 'Car Night' at Bonomo's and were amazed at all the cool cars, played miniature golf and then enjoyed homemade maple walnut ice cream. Now it's time for the next step. He want's to make you dinner at his house. What do we look for to see if he's a keeper?

    Does It Smell When You Walk In?

    The scent of dirty, sweaty clothes is not appealing. Hope and pray he has a laundry basket with a lid. Does it look like he put in some effort to clean the place up? Did he just make piles of papers, magazines and laundry in the corners? Is it clean like he actually lives that way? Does he take pride in his surroundings? Not that everything has to be new and perfect, but he should take care of what he has. It's probably going to be pretty unimpressive, but something has to show that he made an effort like fresh flowers from Chesters on the table.Your intuition will let you know immediately what the deal is with this guy.

    Is It Super-Organized?

    Is it so clean and organized that your scared to get something dirty? What if you spill your red wine? Will he freak on you? Yikes! I sure hope not. This could be the behavior of a 'control freak', maybe not, but still it could be. Better watch out for the signs of that. If you walk into a place where you feel like you can't relax then run to the Utica Coffee Roasting Company and think it over with a cup of joe.

    What Does He Have Around?

    Does he have video games out on display? (that's a time sucker). Does he have creepy things like dolls or weird pictures? Does he have empty beer bottles all over the place like he had a party yesterday? Is there signs of other women hanging there? If your OK with that then OK. If it's monogamy you want then keep your eyes open for the time being. Hopefully at this point you know if he has lot's of female buddies or sisters. What kind of books or magazines does he have? What kind of music is playing? Is the TV on and he's paying more attention to that than you? Is his place in a safe area so you can go jogging anytime with those new sneakers you just scored at The Sneaker Store?

    What's For Dinner?

    He offered to make you dinner so what is it? Did he do takeout from Carmella's? Some of their homemade sauce and fettuccine? Did he try to tell you he made it himself?  Did he cook? Did he serve veggies? Was it good? A man who knows his way around the kitchen is sexy. A man with a dishwasher or does the dishes is sexy. Did he light the candles or adjust the lighting? You can tell a lot about a person in the kitchen. If they burn the bread do they freak out? or are they calm and collected. Do they cry over spilled milk? Hopefully it's fun, calm and comfortable with great conversation.

    How's The Powder Room?

    You know this is really important. You know you're really going to check this area out. Is it clean? Clean enough? Filthy? The toilet? Does he miss? Does he have good aim? This is something that will NEVER change. What about the sink? Is full of shaving cream and toothpaste?  Does he do a swish the sink when he's done grooming. Are there whiskers everywhere? If you dare go ahead. Take a quick peek in the shower. I'm not one for snooping but really? It's only the shower. Is it filthy? Does he own more that one towel? How many toothbrushes are there? I hope he passes this little test. If not and you really like him then run to Chanatry's for some cleaning supplies. This area must be clean. Oh and buy a box of matches.
