Grab some bagels and head over to your beau’s place. Bring garbage bags and Lysol to help him clean until his pad shines and smells of lemons. If he’s a true bachelor, you might need a box of rubber gloves too. Since getting rid of the old to make room for the new can cause anxiety, be sure to stay encouraging and upbeat. Go through his items together, as doing so will give you the opportunity to learn more about him. You will be able to hear the story of his favorite old sweatshirt or that strange, vintage lamp, giving you a glimpse into his past.
If you are motivated enough, then head on over to his office, and help discard old papers and files. Most companies have an office cleaning service but unfortunately, they can’t go through years of documents. So, he will need your help with that.
After his home and office are spotless, switch roles and turn the focus onto your own home. Stay open-minded and don’t be afraid to share intimate details of your life before you met him. Testing your boundaries will make you grow closer — and you’ll be freeing up closet space at the same time!

These dating tips are sure to help when you are struggling for a few date ideas this Spring!
