How do I get rid of my houseguest?

I go to a specialized trade school, and people come to it from all over the western U.S. to attend. Most of them are able to find places to stay, but, one of the gals was going to have to take a leave of absence after the first term because her "boyfriend" didn't pay the rent when he said he did, and they got kicked out. So, she went home for the winter break, and was planning on just staying home until the Spring classes started. But, none of us wanted to lose her.


We managed to get her convinced to stay in our class, and, somehow, I was asked if she could stay with me until she found a place (it wasn't her that asked me). I truly don't mind putting her up, I do wish I had a bigger house so she wouldn't have to sleep on my couch, but, that's all I have for her. I would rather she stay with me than have to take a leave, our class is very close and we are all very supportive of one another. We are like a huge family.


So, tonight will be the first night that she is staying with us. No problem. But, when I was driving home from school tonight it occurred to me that there is one HUGE problem...What am I going to do with her on Fridays when MM and I get together. It is the only day we can get together now.


So, I need suggestions on how to get my house guest to not be here on Friday days, without just coming out and saying don't be here on Friday days so MM and I can have some alone time. Any ideas would help me a lot. It's been a few weeks since MM and I have had alone time since it was winter break. HELP. I NEED OUR ALONE TIME!


TIA,


mom

Do you have to say he is MM? Just say your boyfriend is going to be over, and you'd need your place all to yourself.

I agree with vivacious, why dont you just say that he is your bf.
