So, do you all think it is important that your same-sex roommate should know that you are gay before you start the semester? Or do you think that if they don't notice, they don't need to know?
If you were the roommate which would you prefer?
i would like to know beforehand so i can request a new one or leave if its not possible
i don't think it's really any of their business

I like the way you think, I'd just like to be considerate.
He already knows.

I would never be able to have a gay roommate. awdood;
And why is that?
i wouldn't really care
flamboyantly gay people just piss me off though
Why should you make it a point to tell him beforehand? He will find out when he finds out.
He doesn't have any 'right' to know before you guys move into the dorm. And if he's gonna be a dick about it then it's his own problem.

I don't know because I feel like if I want us to be on good terms I should be a considerate person, ya know? I hate selfish people.
Quote from: seuss on June 27, 2010, 05:48:31 PM
Just to make this clear I have nothing against homosexuals, but I wouldn't be able to live with one. I don't need to explain why because honestly don't know how. The only way I could room with something that was gay would be if I knew them very well, but a stranger, never.
Well i'm sorry to hear that, and it's okay everyone has their preferences. This is exactly why i was considering letting my roommate know.
tell the school and see if they give you your own room lol
Don't say unless they enquire about it or point out some hot chick, then make it seem like it's obvious if they're surprised by it.
I've got a few gay friends, and I don't mind staying at their houses when I'm in their towns etc, in fact I didn't know one of them was gay for a few years, some people might be offended for not saying right away though, but, unlikely so because if they're logical at all, it's none of their business. Unless you're flirting with them that is.

Well it's good that you're considerate. If you feel you should tell him then do it.
I'm sorry my last post was blunt. It's just my two roommates my first year of college sort of killed all my desire to be considerate to people I don't know personally yet.
They were both awful, awful people.
You should tell him to be sure he's not horribly homophobic, which would obviously be an inconvenience in the future and harder to remedy midway through the semester
Quote from: seuss on June 27, 2010, 05:54:48 PM
I think it would be best to let them know, however it really isn't any of their business if I look at in your shoes. You never know what kind of person they could be though, I think in the end it will come down to what you feel is it right and what makes you feel the most comfortable.
Yeah I'll do an evaluation on their personality, or such. Maybe I will, maybe I won't...
I don't think its their business, but i'd like to be a good roommate instead of a horror story.

This is probably what i'll be doing. I have time to think about it. Yeah I don't flirt with straight guys. Actually I don't flirt with anyone. That is nice that you have places to stay!

That's what I was thinking, but I don't know. I don't have a problem with homophobic people I had a lot of friends who were homophobic, I just didn't tell them. But they would be hard to live with.

To make a long story short: The one was a rich long island tool that I stupidly gave a lot of my liquor to throughout the beginning of the year, assuming he would sometime return the favor. He never did. But he did borrow my Office Space DVD, lost it, and never gave me money for it.
The other one was a very strange puny kid that played WoW 24/7 and tried as hard as he could to hurt someone's feelings at any given time. I'm guessing it was for attention because he said he had no friends in high school. He also did it to me. He also always said stupid things for shock value like he's glad the jews burned in Auschwitz and he's glad people flew planes into the twin towers.
lol, but me describing them doesn't do their shittiness justice

Oh well they're just losers. Nothing you can do about that. Lol.
I'm nice to people even when they're jerks as long as they're jerks to everyone around me too if that makes sense. If they purposely hate me, I try to find out why and fix it, and if they still do then fuck them.

No advice, but since we're on the topic, what do you guys think about rooming with somebody you already know. I'm rooming with one of my best friends next year, and I'm not too worried since he's at my house just about every day and I can definitely hang out with him for a long time without getting sick of him. I would just like to hear what my fellow boyagers think of this matter.

I specifically made sure I didn't room with any one I knew. One of the main things I'm looking forward to in college is meeting new people, and if I get too comfortable with a roommate I already know, I feel I'll have a harder time putting myself out there to meet other people. But this is just me.

It can be both a good thing or bad thing depending on your relationship and tolerance as friends, because i know plenty of people who roomed with their best friends, and it tore them apart. But few rare ones where it just stayed the same.
Hmmm. I wonder. My best friends are mostly guys. How do you think that would work? n_u

Nobody values honesty when it concerns bad news. Just don't tell him, and discretely spy on him when he's changing--if you think he's attractive.

Then they must not be very attractive. He couldn't care if you peek when he's not noticing.
Quote from: seuss on June 27, 2010, 06:48:35 PM
I'm rooming with one of my best friends too, it's a lot better than being with some freak. You can make new friends either way if that is your issue here?
Yeah I'm really not worried about making new friends, especially since all of the dorms we applied to are suite style, so we will be sharing a bathroom with at least one other room, which will be great for branching out. I also have a lot of friends going so I'll be able to branch out through them as well.

No they're very attractive. They know I think it too. But they know that I don't see them as anything more than a brother. And I don't, but they're all very handsome some wayyy more than others... happydood; but nonetheless I don't check 'em out in that way.

Nothing significant. Sure, there have been times where he has gotten on my nerves, but I would prefer to live with him than anybody else. He's one of my few friends who I can actually talk to about whatever without feeling weird, and I think I would have a huge problem if I couldn't do that with my roommate.

Anyway, yeah that sucks about your girlfriend dude. I was expecting to run into that roadblock but instead we ended things last month so we wouldn't get even more hurt than if we ended it before college, but that just led to me having a shitty first couple weeks of summer :(
But it's all good. Bring college on. Shit.

I actually wouldn't mind having you as my roommate regardless of what I said earlier, you seem like a cool guy. Especially the fact that you know your stuff about cars. happydood;

Lol well good to feel accepted. And yeah I'm hoping I make a good amount of money when i get out. STi+Hayabusa=<3. But I might wanna start with something small because the hayabusa is the fastest motorcycle in the world. So maybe i'll start with a ninja and work my way up, ya know? can't just jump in to all that power.
Oh and I was kidding about the nail painting...never will i ever do that. If i do y'all can smack me upside the head.
Quote from: seuss on June 27, 2010, 10:10:35 PM
Do you have experience with motorcycles? I would work my way up, starting out with such a fast bike would be insane.
Oh and you should always feel accepted, hopefully I didn't make you feel otherwise. :(
No i was fine ha. Just I wanted a reason.
No I don't have much experience with motorcycles. But my dad said I should get a motorcycle license, because they're good to have haha. He was against my sis getting one. He's on my side! ha. And yeah thats why ima start out with a ninja. I know how to ride motorcycles just never driven one yet. My dad used to have one when he was younger, he said its the same thing as my car since my car is standard. And he said its the same concept, and it isn't hard at all. My sis agreed. So i'm fine with that, just ima start small with the ninja.
You have an adorkable face.
Quote from: seuss on June 27, 2010, 10:26:25 PM
I think if anything riding a motorcycle would be easier than a car, I understand you have to be a lot more aware of your surroundings but still it's just so much more free. If you get what I'm saying? Haha.
Yes and thats what I want! Ha.
I'd love to have you as a roommate you're badass man.
