![]() "Hope your travel thru our area goes well, sorry we didn't get to host you." You get 24 hours to respond to a request, so if they're asking at 345 for a 4pm check-in then you absolutely don't have to do anything! At midnight the request will show as unavailable and then if you just want to double cover yourself at 9am you can send a message. If you have good intuition and boundaries, which it sounds like you do, you can play it by ear- one male guest invited me out for dinner his first night here, but there was no sexual innuendo, he was way younger than me, just a nice guy who didn't want to dine out alone in a new place, so I accepted and we had a nice dinner and a chat about the area.īut if the real problem is that they've just failed to plan and this is a not so well organized last minute request then you have a very easy tool available to you. And of course any guest who makes you feel unsafe needs to leave asap. It's one thing for a guy to test the waters and politely invite you out for a drink, but when you decline, he needs to take that as a "not interested", give up on that, and just be a nice, respectful guest. It kind of depends on how assertive and self-confident you are- I've read posts by young single female hosts who had male guests coming on to them and they were just totally intimidated and didn't know what to do, thinking they had to be nice and polite and just wriggle away when the guys tried to hug them or something, instead of straight up letting them know that's not appropriate to a host/guest situation. ![]() ![]() I accept both, and all my male guests have been total gentlemen, but I'm not some pretty young girl anymore As a female home share host, you could state that you only accept women or couples if that makes you feel more comfortable. ![]()
