Breaking a roommate relationship over a girl?

<p>I've been stalking collegeconfidential for a couple months now, and I decided to make an account so I could get a little help here.Ok, here's the downlow. At a party a couple weeks ago, my roommate met this girl and they started talking for a while, and my roommate got the impression that she liked him. But it turned out that she didn't like him and she turned him down. My roommate is one of those guys who aren't used to being turned down so he's been talking about her a lot for the past couple of weeks. This girl was in one of my classes all year, I just never really talked to her. I saw her at the library and we decided to study together, and it was pretty much awesome. We hit it off really well, and I'm really digging this girl, and I think (I hope) that she likes me as well. Now here's the problem, I want to ask her out but my roommate would get realy ****ed off. He likes to make a big deal out of situations, and he is really stubborn. But...I think I really have a good chance with this girl who is almost perfect in my eyes. Shes beautiful, she's smart, she has good morals. </p>

<p>My roommate and I aren't best friends, but I don't want to become enemies, but I really want this girl too. What the hell do I do?</p>

<p>every man for himself. if he tried and couldn't it get it then you give it a try. If he can't handle it then he needs to grow up. Plus you don't need your roommate to be best friends with you. You just need to be able to coexist in the same room.</p>

<p>It would be funny if she turned you down too. </p>

<p>Don't put the cart before the horse.</p>

<p>As a gay guy, I agree with the statement above.</p>

<p>Even as a girl I'd say it's probably not worth it. Roommate troubles are no fun at all. It would have to be an amazingly serious relationship for it to balance out in my opinion. Don't create an enemy over a girl. You're gonna have to live with this guy for the rest of the year. What happens if the relationship doesn't even work out?</p>

<p>I completely agree with scarletleavy. It's not worth it.</p>

<p>you could always make it a casual thing...less awkward and more of a fun story</p>

<p>Speaking as someone who has had roommate issues, if you think it will make things go sour, don't risk it. Trouble wi/ the roommate can be H*LL on earth! Besides, if the relationship is truly meant to work out, then it can wait until after you and your roommate are separated, and you and the girl can spend the time until then learning more about each other and building a foundation to what may be a worthwhile relationship. Just my thoughts...good luck :)</p>

<p>Are you sure you aren't into to it to "get" your roommate? What's your real motive? You've made this girl sound like some sort of perfect prize. You've had a class with her all year and didn't really talk to her until she put out your roommate's attempts. Are you sure you're being honest about it? </p>

<p>See how you feel in a month or so, and then ask her out. However, if it's only to one up the roomie are you being fair to the girl or yourself?</p>

<p>My thoughts exactly OpiefromMayberry!(post#10)!</p>

<p>yeah, I hadn't thought of it that way before but after reading Opies post and then the OP again, it sounds fairly likely...</p>

<p>Just wait a while. You can maybe date her next Fall semester when you know her more and you don't have to be living with your current roomate. You don't want to cause lots of tension with the person you are living with for the whole year.</p>

<p>Tag your roommate in facebook pictures of the two of you hooking up on his bed while he's out of the room.</p>

<p>WINNER!!!</p>

<p>No, but in all seriousness, your roommate doesn't sound like a reasonable guy. Choose if you value his friendship more than hers.</p>

<p>It's not about who would be a better friend. It's about having to live with someone who won't like you for the rest of the year.</p>

<p>Well assuming he does get the girl and his roommate won't like him because of that then one thing to look at is that he'll come out a better person if the OP can manage to live with him for the rest of the year. So not only does he get the girl but he also learns to cope with a tough situation and will be ready in case it every happens. Just trying to make a positive out of a negative.</p>

<p>Alright guys thanks for the advice. I'm gonna go with my gut and ask her out. Hopefully she says yes. If she says yes then my roommate will just have to deal with it. If she says no, then I guess there won't be any friction with my roommate.</p>
