So I have come to determine I would like a roommate. Well, I don't really want one but I can't pass up the money one could bring in. Also I would like to have someone to alert the authorities if I were to not come home. I have decided I probably will not do this unless I lose a job.
But I still feel like I want to.
I see a few problems though...
- I probably would not feel comfortable with a guy roommate. I think that would be a major leap for a shy person. Though I am willing to be open minded.
- I would feel comfortable with a woman heterosexual roommate. But I feel that would really expose me to rumors of being a lesbian. You know the way people are. Not that it would really bother me that much except my brother is convinced I am one already. (this could go away if I lost my job)
- I have a cat and I would worry that the roommate would hurt the cat. I have seen video's of roommates doing such things as passive aggressive ways to get back at you.
- If things went south, I would never want to have to live with someone I was mad at. And I am sure things would go south (I am kind of that sort of person who gets upset easily)
- At 41 it is considered "weird" to do the roommate thing. (again could go away if I lost my job)
But still $700 a month is a lot.
Has anyone had a good roommate experience?
