To roomate or not to roomate that is the question

[1slow01z71]

Ive known this guy for about a year, he works with me and we have always gotten along pretty well. He is into the same things as me, not a druggy or loser. He is about to be 21 so he is near my age and seems to be a fairly clean person. I dont know him extremely well but well enough I trust him. Ive only had one roomate before that wasnt a girl(two exs have lived with me) and I had known him for about 4 years and he only lived with me for 6 months because he was a slob and Im an EXTREMELY clean person, to point that that I have a 600 dollar vacuum and 400 dollar carpet shampooer, I know its a bit overboard but I like my house to be clean. Anyway he is fine with keeping **** cleaned up I could give a **** less how nasty his room and bathroom are as long as the communal area is kept clean. Im not worried about him paying bills because I know he makes good money and is reliable which is a huge plus otherwise I wouldnt even consider it. Itll save me about 350-400 bucks a month which will be nice and allow me to pay a big chunk of my new truck off. Im just not sure how Im going to like having a roomate that I cant sit on the couch naked, eating cheetos and watching porn around. But seriously there are alot of things you cant do when you have a roomate of the opposite sex, when my GFs lived with me it was no big deal, just trying to decide if its worth it to get a roomate. It would be nice to have someone else around but then again I also like being alone. As you can see Im having trouble deciding what to do. What do you all think?

i don't know about you but i will never have a roommate i just don't trust anyone enough to keep up with what they say they will do. plus does that mean you have to give up half of your garage ?

[1slow01z71]

Hell no the garage will stay mine, if he wants one he can get one added to the lease, but there arent any more two car garages so he would have to get a single. The reason why Im even considering him to be a roomate is because I know he is reliable. Hell the guy is at work every day at 4am, no way in hell I could do that. Plus he cooks all kinds of cool ****, he could be my cooking bitch since all I can do is grille **** on the smoker and grille. Ive pretty much talked myself into it but Im just wondering if there is anything I havent thought of, I dont think there is since Ive had a roomate before and I know what to expect.

Well you do work with him, the only thing i would think of is if you guys had a fight or something then your work would feel weird. But if he is reliable and trust worthy then it should be ok, + u save some extra cash, thats always a plus

Roommates are cool. I had two and everyday we met at the fridge to do Wild Turkey shots and then head out to the club to play pool and support the college gals. We kept the place up pretty well and all the poonanny running through the house was interesting.

Thats kinda what I was thinking but he has a serious girlfriend. But he has gone out with me and some of my other buddies a few times and basically tells his GF to STFU when he wants to go out which is fine by me. If he does end up with me Ill damn sure corrupt him quick, he is going to learn all about the joys of 6th street, Cool River aka cougar den and the Perfect 10 strip club.

roommates are a good idea if u are financing a house, therefore they are helping u to buy the house, and they have NO claim to it whatsoever.

didnt read all the post, but if you can afford to live alone go for it!!!!! now if ya wanna save dollars then get a roommate.

[ducky]

roommates are overrated... haha just kidding. If this is going to help in modding the truck I say to hell with it and bite the bullet and room with him.
