Have you moved in with roommates of the opposite sex before?
This may me happening soon...one of which would be a friend (not a super close friend, but a friend nonetheless), the other I don't know. This would be happening in a different state that I am currently living in. Just wondering how your experience was, if you liked it, or just any thoughts in general? Thanks!
It's extremely common in college towns or places with high costs of living where everyone depends on roommates. I have no issues with it beyond the usual "can you live with these people" types of things. My D24 has had guy roommates off and on since she went to college. Most straight, one gay. LOL
I shared a 4 bedroom house with three women back in the early 80's. I owned the house and rented out the other rooms.
This was in Clear Lake TX, a college town and I didn't want to deal with the BS partying that guys were doing.
It can work but you need to set some rules about your living arrangements, how you like to live, paying bills, etc. By me owning the home I was able to set my own rules and control who lived with me and how they lived.
I hate a dirty house, dishes in the sink, clothes left on the floor, messy bathroom and I found that if I rented to women they were more likely to like living the way I do.
Do you have your own room? Do you trust the guy you do know? Can you meet the other guy before you commit to see what kind of gut feeling you have?
There are some guys I wouldn't even consider living with - and others that I would never fear for my safety. Depends on the guy. There's so much more to consider as others have said (do they party, can you stand them, are they slobs?) than just being a girl living with 2 straight guys.
And just throwing this out there - just cuz they are straight doesn't mean they will want to jump your bones or take advantage of you, if that's what you're thinking.
I had a female room mate and loved haveing her and her boyfriend in the house .She was good about keeping track of thing's and we had thing's set up where i paid the rent they paid the cable & electric and other thing's and it worked out great ..
The only real problem was with a couple of her friend"s and she saighted them out very quickly about something that was said one morning about her doing some of my personal errand's in the place because she got to keep the change out of the money i gave her to go and pick something up from me ..
We had the perfect work hour's thing going .They worked day's and i worked night's and never saw each other intill sunday night when i was off and we made a dinner togerther out on the grill .So it worked out great.. they had there own room with there bathroom and i had the master bedroom with my own bathroom.
So it was a great two year we lived togerther and they would share a house with me again if they did not have childern now ...They had a drink or two but never to a point where they where falling down drunk in the place ..We had alot of cookings and that was alot of fun there in the back yard of the place we rented ..

More details: I would have my own room. It would be in Queens, NY. I would say we mostly would be doing our separate things most of the time because of my busy work schedule and their's. I probably won't have time to meet the other guy beforehand unless I stay somewhere else first and then decide, but that's unlikely.
And, no I wasn't thinking that about them- about jumping on my bones because of them being straight, ha, that phrasing made me laugh...I was just pointing it out so there weren't any other questions about it.
I guess I have some questions to ask them, but it seems like they are very work-oriented people, as the guy I specifically know works 60 hours a week...I know that doesn't necessarily mean one thing over the other, but ya know, I guess I just need to see what I'm comfortable with and work through things
