1. What would you wear for a cozy NYE night in?

2. What would you bring to sleep in?

What if your assumption is wrong and you show up with sleeping suit and nigh gown to a dinner invite?

OP is divorced and presumably old enough to know NYE outside of the house sucks.

This. Something you’d wear to a fancy restaurant for dinner but that’s comfortable enough to “cook”

OMG no. He asked her over for a cozy night in to cook a meal together and play cards. Obviously we all know what’s really on the menu here, but at least pretend to play along.

+1 don’t serve it up too easy Op. you might decide at 11:58 that you don’t like him.

I kind of agree. A home date - on New Year’s Eve - when they haven’t slept together yet seems too awkward and high pressure. OP seems on board and I hope she has a great time but this wouldn’t be for me. I’m old and married now, but when I was young and dating I wanted to get glammed up and be taken out for NYE.

Same! But sounds like it’s been a long time for Op. she needs this

(... Seriously, OP, please go with the jeans and cashmere sweater).

Or a nice skirt and sweater.

Skirt and sweater? Some people must be writing from another planet.

Please don't drink too much but a light buzz is a good idea. Definitely get started in front of the fireplace! We have one in our bedroom and on a cold winter night it's a fun place to be.

Yes, most men will be deterred by a pair of jeans.

Bring the condoms in with you.

Meaning too fancy or not fancy enough?

I'd wear a cute dress. No man is going to be like "oh no, she looks pretty even for an informal sounding night in, what does THAT imply?" No PJs. If you're sleeping over, you won't need them.

No jeans! Wear a casual dress, something soft or slinky. But not backless and def no sequins.

OMG I spit out my tea. Definitely pack this as your “sleeping suit” OP and excuse yourself to the powder room around 11:30 pm to change into it. If the night still works out, he’s your guy!

Speaking as someone in my 40s, divorced and dating, Im surprised you havent discussed the potential of staying overnight/having sex. The lack of beating around the bush when it comes to…well…beating around the bush, is one of the most refreshing things I find about dating at this age.

That said, bring a small bag, not a huge steamer trunk. Also do bring something cozy to wear when he makes you breakfast the next am. No need to put your clothes back on just to then have them taken off when you thank him for breakfast.
