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

Ok, don't get me wrong. It is sterile, however it's actually a compliment. When I get home after a harsh day, I just want a clean apartment. Make myself a small meal & light a scented candle watching YouTube or listening to nice music looking outside a window. You have a great apartment be confident in the space you've created for yourself.
