Ok...I have to ask...I have a growing thing for my roommate (he is a
guy) and I don't know what to do. My sister seems convinced that he
feels something for me too...I just need to be patient...but I don't
want to. I have my doubts...but there are moments when he can be rather
affectionate...then a total asshole. I love him more often than
not...but there are some days that I just want him out. Our other
roommate is never around...so for the most part...it's the two of us.
Should I try and wait on him...should I date around...or just say screw
it and move on? There is a lot more...but we will start with this.

If it's somethin you really want to persue, say somethin to him. If ya
don't at least tell him how ya feel, ya might kick yourself later. Take
a chance, life's too short to not at least try to be happy.

How about having a chat w/him about how you feel. I find talking
about what is on my mind the best way to handle things. Go slow &
verbally ck. outwhere he is.

BC -- First of all, don't rush anything. It sounds like you're not even
sure about your own feelings yet, let alone his. Assuming nobody is in
a hurry to get out of the roommate scenario, he'll be around for awhile,
so it really isn't a question of availability or not being able to find
him if/when you make a decision.

Look for indicators from him that he may be thinking of you in terms of
more than just a roommate. The time may come when you'll have your own
feelings sorted out and you may need to talk to him more directly about
it, but that may be a little down the road.

I would say DON'T just give up on him and move on, at least not until
you're SURE that there's no way it can go the way you'd like it to go.
If you like him as much as it sounds you do, then he's worth investing
some time in.

it looks like you know just what to do, and have the right attitude,
maybe you should make sure that he feels the same for you and then take
it from there!!! flowerforyou

OK, Lesbian point of view. Lesbian 101 - talk, communicate, say it,
talk some more, review it. You get it. It's all about the
communication. How 'bout - "hey dude (or insert name), sometimes I
think you'd be cool to date and sometimes I'd like to kick you outta my
space for awhile - so why don't we make some time to talk about it?"
Course, you have to decide what to say when he throws a slick reply your
way, being a woman you can probably get away with "hey, I'm bein all
serious here and you're playin games, would you like to try another
reply?" Guess it depends on what you think is cute/acceptible after
that. COMMUNICATE that's the best way to get to know someone.
