those that would deam you to be gay.........probably aren't really gonna matter anyway.......as for women he probably has a hell of a lot more female friends than you and you'll proabbly learn a few things from him in the female dept........i have gay friends nad i have to be honest i'm more likely to confide in them than i am most of my female friends........not only that you know the fgirl that keeps stalking you at work..........move him in it'll end.........LOL

i still go back to my original thought money is money no matter who pays it..........

come to think of it, i got some of the best sex advice from my old gay co-worker. he was a like a friggin' guru. i've gotta find him for advice on how to snag my next love and keep him happy

honestly man, I wouldnt care what people thought...It's hard to get a roomate you get-along with. me personally i would rather have a roomate i get a long with than anything; dosnt matter gay, strait, whatever. A good roomate is a good roomate


i've had bad roommates and i have to say I agree with you 100%.

the single most important determining factor for me is for the person that moves into my home to be a good roommate. not a best friend. not a moved-in maid. and i would hope a good wingman.


what made him better than the other candidates anyway?


he seemed like the best "roommate" (pay bills on time, trustworthy, not a party animal, non-smoking, clean, and he has good work ethic) **** Most of this is not confirmed just my general impression of him after knowing him through work and friends for 6 months ****

you know first impressions can end up being right. do your co-workers think your gay because you're friends with him? if not, then try him as a roommate.

I agree, I think you are a little bit more freaked out by it then what you think! Who cares what he is? So what, he likes men. He is going to have a lot of women friends...that means you can meet a lot of women through him!
The only thing is, just be yourself around him. Just because some of us think you have a nice body doesn't mean he will. :wink: Usually when people are gay, they know who else is gay and who isn't...so no worries!!
Tell him the rules, let him pay his rent and then you both can live peacefully!! Good luck flowerforyou

I have gay, straight, bi, transsexual, & transgender friends.
I feel that if I based my life decisions on what my co-workers thought about my personal life..I would have no life at all.flowerforyou

i too have a few gay friends. i merely mentioned the co-workers because he feels comfortable enough to call this co-worker his friend but have 2nd thoughts on making him his roommate. i wondered what was so different between calling him a friend at work or at home

i have no problem calling him a friend at work OR at home.

i'm only sincerely putting thought and effort into making the RIGHT decision. i know a big part of that decision (who am i going to let into my home/life/business) is the changes that come with him being gay.

we have already talked about living together and understand eachothers needs, wishes, and rules.

and i'm not sure how this got twisted, but my coworkers think we would be great roommates and don't think negatively about the situation because he is gay. i work with a small group of homosexual males & females (about 10 or 12).

I just want to make sure I have all of my bases covered. Has anybody had experiences with a gay roommate? Good or bad? Horror stories? Positive feedback?

Just looked at your profile, Bryan. For a 23 year old, you seriously have got your act together. I personally wouldn't have a problem with having a gay roommate. Like someone already mentioned, finding a good roommate is hard. If he is trustworthy, will pay his bills on time and not damage your home, I see no problems at all. With all those women you have listed in your friends section, I highly doubt anyone is going to think you are gay. I'm very impressed by the level of maturity you are showing regarding this situation. Hope it all works out for you.
