Question Posted Thursday November 13 2003, 6:44 pm
I've been living on my own for a while but now I'm thinking about moving in with a girl I work with, because frankly I'm bored living on my own. Will I get sick of the roommate thing really fast or what? Before I always thought roommates where what you got if you couldn't afford to live alone... I can afford it, I'm just lonely.

If you think that you are really ready to live with someone else, I would confront the girl that you want to live with about it first. Maybe she doesn't like the whole idea. If she is up for it, I would say give it a good. It may take some adjusting, since you are used to living alone. If things aren't working out after you are living together, you could either move back to living with yourself, or try finding another roommate.
Here-To-Help answered Sunday November 23 2003, 2:30 pm: In my opinion, I think if you're that bored, that shows that you may need a roomate. Obviously arguments are unavoidable but I think it would be a great idea. Maybe if you don't get along with your co-worker so much, then you should maybe consider someone else. If you know somebody who knows a friend, or somebody who needs an apartment, then maybe you would want to move in with that person becsause you won't know her so it would be easier to get to know more things about her....and you won't have to worry about the fact if she's somebody to be worried about because someone you know has approved that she's a good person. (if you understand any word of that) But if for now you really want to move into some place with somebody you know I say take achance at it because no home has to be permanant.

Having a roommate is a dance between what you can deal with and what they can deal with. I find if you ask lots of questions, you have a better idea of their living habits. Make some out ahead of time with a friend or parent. Ask them what their pet peeves are, where the heat stays, and their rules about cleanliness. You might also ask when you can have the house to yourself too. You have to work together to make the house a happy place; this includes chores such as laundry and dishes.
You might also consider getting a pet or planning parties at your house for friends instead of a roommate. You can volunteer. You can foster sit for abused and lost animals. You can visit nursing homes and just talk to people. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
