<p>For the upcoming academic year, I will be rooming with a female and possibly another female or male as well (I am male). I have never met my future roommate as it is the landlord who set up the living arrangement. I was just wondering if any of you guy have tips on rooming with the opposite sex...I want this to go as smooth as possible.</p>
<p>I'm not sure it's going to be so much that your roommates are female as it could be how their personalities are. Like me, I hate it when other people touch my stuff and I like a quiet house. Some girls are messy (haha, me again) and others are really clean. It's all personality. Could you get your new roomies information from your landlord to see if you could meet them before you move in? See what your interests are, if you'll even get along? </p>
<p>Haha, oh, always remember:
Toliet seats belong down ;-)</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>It worked on Three's Company.</p>

<p>Haha, thanks pokadot_heart. I'd like to think I'm pretty laid back and respectful so perhaps me and my roommies will get along quite well. In any case, I tried asking the landlord for info about the girl but all he said was that she is a freshmen...</p>
<p>"It worked on Three's Company."</p>
<p>haha, I hope the arrangment will indeed be as entertaining as a television show. </p>
<p>haha</p>
<p>It really depends on her personality.. for instance, the shy, introverted type, don't go into her room. Talk to her at the door. I find most non outgoing girls to view their room as a safe haven, so anyone else in it would be an intrusion.</p>
<p>Don't go all big brotherly on her (assuming you do so with girls). She doesn't want/need a second parent. =P</p>

<p>Haha, thanks melli. I kinda feel the same way about my room.</p>
<p>"Don't go all big brotherly on her (assuming you do so with girls). She doesn't want/need a second parent. =P"</p>
<p>If anything, I'd influence her to act just the opposite. Tisk tisk I know.</p>
<p>What school do you go to? Seriously, I'd probably live on campus if I could room with a girl.</p>
<p>He's going to be my buddy in Berkeley.</p>
<p>I think he's outside campus because he's in an apartment with a landlord. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think dorm buildings have landlords as the building itself would be property of the school, not an individual.</p>
<p>definitely view her as a sister (not as a little sister though). don't try to start something. it'll get awkward fast, as another poster pointed out very accurately. it's the best way to stay friends with her--show her respect, and she might introduce you to some of her friends!</p>
<p>"Don't ..... Seriously, that'll make things weird real quick."</p>
<p>mrmuir, LMFAO. I was thinking about drinking it up with my roommies (assuming they drink) to break the ice and whatnot but now that I think about it, maybe that would only lead to the awkward-inducing events you speak of haha...</p>
<p>"What school do you go to? Seriously, I'd probably live on campus if I could room with a girl. </p>
<p>I live off campus. Oh and Berkeley. </p>
<p>"He's going to be my buddy in Berkeley."</p>
<p>Yup...hehe. </p>
<p>"I think he's outside campus because he's in an apartment with a landlord. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think dorm buildings have landlords as the building itself would be property of the school, not an individual."</p>
<p>Yeah, its an off campus house divided into two units. Each unit contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. </p>

<p>Haha, the little sister might be a more accurate thing. The landlord said she's an incoming freshman (so I'm assuming seventeen? eighteen?). I'm a incoming transfer (nineteen going on twenty later this year)...</p>
<p>Don't let the room smell bad, she will hate you.</p>
<p>No problem. =) Hmm.. if you have a couple friends over, make sure they don't start something with her when they're drunk. Well, if you're not trashed as well lol.</p>
<p>During the fall semester, I was living with my (now ex-)girlfriend off campus.</p>
<p>That ended up not working out so well.</p>

<p>lol, I'll make sure to police my friends behavior (provided I am not hammered as well)</p>

<p>lol, any advice?</p>
<p>Don't bring other girls back when you think she's going to be away.</p>
<p>(I'm an asshole)</p>
<p>^HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.</p>
<p>But I'm not dating this girl though...heh, In any case, I'll try to keep the random people at my pad down to a minimum.</p>
<p>Ah, I hope you don't sleep nude and have the habit of waking up and walking around nude. Lol.</p>
<p>Eh, what's a little nudity between friends?</p>
<p>You'd all DIE in Japan, where they regularly go with friends to hot springs and lounge around "GASP!" naked!</p>
<p>ZOMG WANGAGE FTL!</p>
