Your Place vs Their Place

This post concerns something that is rarely talked about. When you meet someone at a bar do you want to go back to your place or their place? Let's lay out the options for what would be the better choice. Don't let anyone fool you, you have the option. Nothing is set in stone and you need to figure out what is better for YOU. Not this other person, the choice is all about you. Sounds selfish, but that's how it is.

We'll start with your place. This is what we call a home game. You know your surroundings, you know the playing field and you're comfortable. You're gonna have to play offense first because whoever you bring home is going to take a little time to get to know the playing surface. They're out of their element, so now the fate of the game rests on you, the host. The one problem with having a home game is that when you wake up next to this person, you can't leave. If they're still asleep, you're screwed. So if you end up taking someone back to your place for a home game, make sure you can handle waking up next to them. If you're going to look at them in the morning and say to yourself, "How much did I drink last night?" Then you probably should choose to go with a road game.

Now to the road game. Their place. You don't know anything about this playing field, you're a little out of your element. Maybe the ceiling is lower than you expected, maybe the bed isn't that big, maybe there's a pet in the room. You don't know. This is foreign to you. However, you have the option of leaving right after your game, or sneaking out early in the morning before the host wakes up. This is a good option for the sole fact that you can get out of there quickly once the game ends. If you're probably going to regret it in the morning, you might as well play a road game. Road games are easier to forget.

The game that I am talking about would be sex for those of you who don't catch on too quickly. Personally, I prefer a road game just because you don't even have to stay overnight. You can make up an excuse and go. But during the home game it's your playing field and you know all the nooks and crannies that are involved at your stadium. If you're leaving with someone it's a win either way. Which one will you decide?
