Opposite Sex Roommates

<p>I have been in the dorms the past 3 years and I figured out that staying in a apartment my last year would save me some money. </p>

<p>I found an ad in the student newspaper about somebody looking for a roomate. I went ahead and went to check out the apartment. It is funny because the girl that answered the door had been in some of classes. I didn't know her very well, but I talked to her a few times.</p>

<p>We talked for awhile and she asked if it was ok if there were 2 rules I could follow. I obliged.</p>

<p>She said that we both couldn't have people stay over because it would cause a mess. She said her other male roommate would constantly have people over and that created a fued between them. I thought the rule was very reasonable.</p>

<p>She also said that I should just be myself and act like if she was one of the guys. I was surprised when she said that. She said that I shouldn't be embarrased to roam around in my boxers to the kitchen or whatever and I shouldn't be embarrased if I see her walking around in her bra and panties.</p>

<p>I never expected her to say this, but I think in the long run we will both be accustomed to it. </p>

<p>For those who are rooming with people of the opposite sex, I am just curious if it usually works out. She seems like a really chill person which is good.</p>

<p>I am going to room with a girl in an apartment this fall. Truthfully, she seems cool.. so she probably will be cool. There's less to worry about in a situation like that, then some deusch bag overly-everything guy. The worst possible scenerio is if one or the other gets jealous of a potential bf/gf of the other.</p>

<p>I'm a guy living with two girls and a guy in an apartment. I haven't had any problems. Sure it may take a while to get used to the girl walking around in a bath towel or whatever, but it's usually not awkward unless you make it awkward. The one thing you want to be sure of is that you're not romantically interested in the girl because if you are, then it will be very frustrating and could potentially cause problems. The girl is right. The best way to make things work is just to treat her like one of your guy friends.</p>

<p>i cant find the video, but i saw something on the news about how popular this has become -- one side was arguing that it was fine as long as there are boundaries and whatnot, while the other was saying it was unnatural and inappropriate for college students who already have enough distractions...i happen to think its fine...any other thoughts on this?</p>

<p>I was supposed to room with 3 girls and I decided not to because I was pretty sure there would be lots of drama, not to mention 3 girls menstruating; the chances of them mentruating at the same time would be just awful or each one in a row for 3 weeks.</p>

<p>are you sharing an actual room or sharing a suite</p>

<p>...? Did you seriously just say this?</p>

<p>^it's for his own safety. menstruating attracts bears.</p>

<p>yes i did. i didnt even think about that until a female friend pointed it out.</p>

<p>I feel a little sorry for you.</p>

<p>Girls who are in close quarter's periods do tend to synch up a bit if they're close. Knowledge is power!</p>

<p>I wish I could room with like three girls haha. What exactly is the issue here OP? At worst, you guys can arrange a "friends with benefits" scenario.</p>

<p>How is that at worst?</p>

<p>Yes girls who live together eventually sync up their period times but that takes a while. plus it would be really awkward if one of them brings a guy when theyre drunk and have sex with him right next door. besides, girls=drama fo sho</p>

<p>no, girls do not always equal "drama fo sho". especially a girl like the OP described.</p>

<p>I live with some guys (i'm female) and it's fine. We're all close to each other and yeah i have no problem walking around in a bra.</p>

<p>my friend married her roommate.</p>

<p>you never know what'll happen</p>

<p>3 girls do. one or two would be fine.</p>

<p>1 guy 1 girl is better than one guy outnumbered by women.</p>

<p>1 guy outnumbered by women i agree would cause chaos </p>

<p>well for the guy at least lol =P</p>

<p>thats what im saying. and it would be hard for the girls to stop staring at my awesome body and beautiful face so its really unfair for me to be the source of drama.</p>
