Stay the night

If someone asks you to spend the night with them, how do you know if you are ready for that? It seems like a big step, and I wonder if in a new relationship where staying the night is too premature?  How do you know when you've moved to that level?

Of course in the moment it seems like a fantastic idea, but after things settle down and you are left wide awake when the other person is sleeping....you can't help but wonder why you are still there.  Not only are you in a new environment, different bed but you have to contend with the new noises and breathing and wonder when it is an appropriate time to use the bathroom and hope to not wake the person up.   Are you allowed to sneak out and leave a note?  Can you move into the living room and watch TV?  Do you lay there all night waiting for the morning to see what would happen....will he kiss you with morning breath? will he make you breakfast? will you end up staying part of the day relaxing and doing the crossword puzzle? Or will it be completely disappointing?
