I think for you, it will most likely not affect your dating life. But some guys will be uncomfortable with the setup, but they will tolerate it.
The guy, I donno, I guess it may not matter too much.
Either way, if either of you date insecure people, they will have a hard time dealing with the situation.
I do find it interesting that you two hang out as much as you do.
It sounds like a REALLY good deal for the guy. Cheap rent, great networking/ socializing opportunities.
But, from previous posts, you don't seem too interested in LTR. And considering you mentioned above 'what if me and my current guy break up?', it sounds like you are already half way there.
I guess just enjoy the new friend, but I do see an opportunity for this easily going sour at some point. My money says he EVENTUALLY sober or drunk makes a move on you. But you seem to he able to handle that kind of situation. And who knows, maybe you two will hit it off.
Yeah, I'm not too into insecure men. They're miserable to date.
I'm not headed to a breakup with the current guy, I don't think. But we're still in the early stages and everything is a big question mark. See above posts about anxiety and borrowing trouble for my (often self-defeating) perspective.
I really don't think the roomie would ever hit on me. We have different types, and the sexual chemistry is entirely absent - we've both commented on it. He tends towards very high-strung redheads who like being taken care of, and I tend towards rugged men who would be voted most likely to survive the apocalypse. Plus he's seen me in the mornings when I haven't showered or brushed my hair in days (think Rob Zombie on a bad day), and I know exactly what foods will cause him to spend the evening in the bathroom.
I wonder if this will hamper my dating life if I break up with the current boyfriend (not in the cards at all right now, but **** happens) and I worry that I might hamper my roommate's dating life. On the other hand, I think it might be useful for screening out the undesirables.
Some guys wouldn't like it and would flat out refuse to date you, or date you but constantly be paranoid and need reassurances that you aren't secretly into your roommate. But other guys, like your current beau will be just fine with it. You'll just have to date guys who are okay with it.
Doesn't surprise me. You almost HAVE to hang out to AVOID it being awkward. And if you're both decent, self-controlling people you'll be deliberately doing it with the chemistry and mannerisms of amish people, lol, to make a point that it's going to stay a platonic relationship.
