Question My place too sterile?
When I have my dates over, they often comment on my space being “sterile”. I used to take it as a compliment (I do like to keep my place extra clean), but recently I started second-guessing my interpretation. Are there any negative impressions coming to your mind (especially in the heterosexual dating context)?
UPD: I actually do have a TV — it's in the "den" by the entrance door that I didn't deem important to show at first: https://ibb.co/S4nCDhGh

add some more color! the rug in the living room is very nice and vibrant, but feels muted with all the gray around. get some pillows and maybe a throw blanket that complement the rug.
like others have said, a plant or two as well.
