<p>Okay, I'm a parent, so don't flame me....pretty please :).</p>
<p>Recently there have been a lot of threads in the parents forums about roommates having people from the opposite sex spending the night.</p>
<p>I'm wondering, since we are all OLD, and have no real perspective on this from your age group: what is the norm? In situations where people are boyfriend and girlfreind, or in what you guys call "random hook-ups." etc....</p>
<p>What would you guys consider to be the average behavior in college in regards to the issue of the opposite sex spending the night in your room?</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, it definitely happened in my day. Nobody seemed to really think it was a very big deal then. But I’m just wondering. things change. You guys might have a different set of what is “okay.” </p>
<p>I’m just trying to get some perspective. Thanks for the anwer.</p>
<p>I just answered your question in the parents section thread, based on what my experiences have been. To summarize, I said that while it is not uncommon at all to have opposite sex overnight guests in the room with roommate, in my experience it is not all that rare for girls to be uncomfortable with it, either, and in that case a compromise must be made so that nobody has to feel uncomfortable in their room.</p>
<p>There was a thread about this recently where a girl had asked what to do because she wanted to have her boyfriend stay the night but wasn’t sure how her roommate would react to it. You might find it interesting if you can find it, I forget what it was called.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t care as long as this guest doesn’t turn into a permanent roomie. If things get uncomfortable during the night, I’ll just crash on the couch in the lounge.</p>
<p>My roommate’s boyfriend has only spent the night once, but only because they got back ridiculously late and was not in a condition to walk back to his dorm after making sure if girlfriend got back safe. I said fine, as long as he only slept. It was fine, but both of them are really nice and considerate.</p>
