Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Try craigslist.com or even your local neighborhood newspaper. Occasionally you can find people posting that they need or would want to be a room mate.Originally posted by al77
There are many website that has a small database of rooms and roomates. They usually want sround $30 per month for the access to their system. It is not big deal to pay it, but one site has a very small database of roomates and paying $30 at each site is just too much.
How did you look for a room\roomates?
What places you posted your ad?
Guys, thanks for the ideas. I trid craiglist - it is not popular in my area unfortunately. Local newspapers have all crap we can imagine except "looking for a rommate", gotta look for more newspapers.Originally posted by diablo
Most apartment complexes have programs in place to help potential roommates find each other... at least around my area. Ask the apartment's office what they'd recommend you do to find someone to live with you - since it's in their best interests they'll be more than happy to help.
Here goes - the apartments want to make money. You provide them with that money by leasing a place to live. If you can't afford to live by yourself, you have three options:Originally posted by al77
This is a very creative idea about apartment complexes - I would never thought about it.
....actually I wish I would understand the logic behind it:
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
diablo, Thanks!Originally posted by diablo
Since 1 takes money away from them, and it's unlikely you'll be able to do 3, that leaves us with 2. If they help you find a roommate, they're helping themselves rent out an apartment, which makes them cash. I don't know how else to say it without being repetitive.
Another idea - go to the local university and check out their social spot (i.e. the LSU Union) as well as the university's paper. Usually the Union (or whatever it's called there) will have bulletin boards with "Roommate wanted" fliers on it... and the school paper will have "Roommate wanted" sections as well. If it doesn't, call the paper and ask them what they'd recommend... since they've got their finger in all things to do with campus they could definitely give you a more personalized and useful answer then the generalizations thrown out on a board where nobody knows your town.
