When I first moved out I thought it would be fun to live with roommates. It would help me meet new people and to become social in the singles scene. Unfortunately I was unable to find roommates and moved into a place by myself. I love my apartment. It's new, clean, smells great, I never have to worry about parking, and very spacious. I have slowly made friends but, wish I had more girlfriends to hang out with. Recently I have been looking at the YSA Yahoo group and I see many listings for people seeking female roommates. I have been seriously been considering giving up my great apartment and moving in with roommates. Getting my gas bill this month also has encouraged me to consider roommates. Since I moved in it has been around $10. This month it was about $40. That heater sure is expensive to run. That doesn't make me very happy. If I lived with roommates the cost of rent would be about half the price and we'd be sharing in the cost of utilities. Money is one factor but, the biggest reason for me to move would be so I'd have an instant circle of friends to hang out with. That is something I really feel that I am missing out on by living alone.
The thing that is holding me back from moving and giving roommates a try is what if it doesn't work out then what? I'd hate to loose my apartment. I doubt I would be able to find anything as good as what I have. I never imagined I would find as great a place as I found. I looked at tons of apartments before I choose this one and none of them come close.
I talked to my girlfriend the other day and she reminded me of how catty girls can be. So, as much as I would like to live in ignorant bliss that we'd get along perfect with my luck it would be a disaster. Why do I say this? Well, recently I went through a less then pleasant experience that left me on this girl's blacklist and I really don't want a repeat of that. I really liked this girl she was tons of fun to hang out with, but it doesn't look like we'll be hanging out any time soon. And it wasn't like I stole this girl's boyfriend or anything. They had been friends for a long time and she had a boyfriend at the time. What happened was a mutual male friend and I got a little too friendly for her liking. I was totally ignorant to the fact that he was her property and for me to keep my hands off. So it was a very rude awakening when all of a sudden her and I went from being best buds to bitter enemies. The thing is I didn't even get the guy in the process. We were just friends then and to this day we remain just friends. But, because of being black listed by her I rarely get to hang out with him because they are always together. It's just not fair. So, if this is how it is with all girls then I'm thinking that having roommates is not a good idea.
What I don't understand is why girls are so catty when it comes to guys. If you aren't stealing someone's boyfriend or finance then why can't girls be happy for other girls? If any girls want to date my male friends, date any of the guys I'm dating, or hook up with any of my ex's go right ahead. I'm totally cool with that. I'm not being sarcastic at all. If we're not exclusive then he is all yours. I'll be thrilled for you. Obviously the two of you share a stronger connection then the two of us. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
