She's trying to use your attachment to her for her own benefit. If that's okay for a friend, why not for a roommate?

oh yeah? So I can be whipped and hurt everyday?

i think you just answered your question.


He's not asking if he should. He already knows he doesn't want to. He's asking how to tell her he doesn't want to.

Simple: ask her to marry you. It sounds like you'd be happy with this, if you thought that she felt about you the same way that you feel about her. Maybe, just maybe, you're reading her wrong. How many girls ask a guy who's been boinking her to get an apartment together?? Is she so desperate that she doesn't have any friends at the college to room with? You didn't indicate in any way that the two of you don't get along great together. Ask her to marry you. (Or, somehow bring it up in a conversation the idea of the two of you being married.)

A) Girl and I hang out all the time, I'm completely obsessed with her and spoil the hell out of her. We're awesome friends.
C) She wants to move in with me because she knows we would be good room-mates. I thought it was an OK idea at the time.
This can be read as, she knows that you fawn over her and are willing to take care of her needs. Either you're an easy mark or she cares about you.

And, the quickest way to tell the difference: "I know this is going to sound like it's coming completely out of the blue, but would you marry me?" :p

So here's the decision we made:

I'm getting the apartment, she's moving into my second bedroom for 2 months. After 2 months, she'll find another place to live.

This'll be good cause I'll get a cuddle buddy every night for two months :)

Hm... which makes you more attached... then you don't want her to leave. Sounds like a great idea.

*Sigh* Terrible decisions FTW apparently!

This is one of those times in your life when your gonna look back and say "WTF was I thinking?"
But, on the other side of the coin, right now its what you want to do so you're gonna do it no matter what anyone says.

I hate how life is all like, pre-destined and stuff......

tsk tsk.... this is how it will go down. You will snuggle for two months. Her time is then up. She hasn't improved her money situation and has no place to go. You don't throw her out. Things chill between you. She starts dating. She begins to bone other guys in the room you are paying for.

C) She wants to move in with me because she knows we would be good room-mates. I thought it was an OK idea at the time.
D) I realize that it isn't a good idea, and what am I thinking? I'd just be hurting myself day in and day out instead of just when I see her.
E) She just started college, is flat broke, and really needs a stable place to live. I don't want to hurt, but I also don't want to be an asshole. Easiest way to say "we're awesome friends but...."


Edit:

I've already boned her. Been there done that. That's how I became attached in the first place. It just faded and we haven't done it in months. Don't think it would happen if we moved in together, and if it DID start happening, then I'd be living with a girl I cared about, who I was boning, who didn't care about me back as more than friends ---- I can find someone better, so I don't want to get myself attached.

you're screwed bud.... when the 2 months are up she's gonna come up with some excuse that she can't afford anywhere else blabla and you won't have the heart to kick her out... this will drag on forever and before you know it you will be playing video games with the guys she brings over to bone

She won't move out in 2 months.

After 4 months, she will bring her new boyfriend over and start banging him in her room.

You will post a thread titled: "How can I get my ex and her boyfriend to leave my apartment?"

Man you really are a sucker. If you don't hit that the night she moves in you're an idiot. Just make up a lease that states she must put out nightly in order to keep the room.

In any case you really are a pushover. You need to get a backbone and stand up for yourself. There are MILLIONS of other women out there. Why punish yourself over this one who doesn't love you back?

Oh and where are the pics?
