[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We generally look for an AP without a boyfriend, but the last one got one between our interview and arriving, and it was ok because he was very encouraging of her going to America and had no plans to visit.  So I think it really depends on the AP's attitude.

I would not allow overnights of a BF so if he wanted to visit she would be taking her vacation and staying elsewehere during that time.  [/quote]

We posted above that both of our au pairs have had boyfriends come stay the week.  We were fine with it, but I think it's totally fine to not be ok with it as long as you're clear up front.  Might be a good thing to put out there when matching if you're never going to allow a male to spend the night.

Also, if you really care about the boyfriend, I wouldn't just ask "do you have a boyfriend?"  Our current au pair said "no."  Turns out, she had a guy that she had been dating for a few months that got more serious before she left, but she didn't count him as a "boyfriend" really.  That term means different things to different people.  [/quote]
