As requested, I'm keeping you updated on the flatmate situation.
I have no idea what has happened but Housemate 1 is now going to advertise at work to see if anyone is interested in moving in.
That leaves me with one option for now --- wait it out. I think I just need to wait it out until the other person moves in and then see if I feel comfortable. I don't feel threatened in any way and all my friends are aware of my situation. I am not fond of Housemate 1 because I think we are just different...and not that I don't get along with people who are different...he's different in a weird sort of way. I can't even describe it! Also, I found out that we have different television tastes which is not helpful!
Anyway, the 'waiting it out' is hard...especially when I keep looking up rental listings in the neighbourhood every single day and get excited at some of the apartments currently going. But I have also been thinking to myself...moving out before a month may look bad in terms of my rental reliability in future.
So anyway, thank you all again for your comments the last time. It was a bit like my head --- there were two sides. And I just might take the side suggesting to wait, save and then leave.
Until next time,
Cheers!!!
Ah, things will go well
ReplyDeleteyou never know... that new housemate might be somebody worth drooling over.
Wait it out, especially if it helps rental reliability.
@ Kartikey: Lol...drooling over! Nah...too messy.
ReplyDeleteAs I said u r the best judge of the situation :) so do what makes you feel comfortable :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I agree with Kartikey! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up with your latest posts, and I feel your pain on the housemate situation. I'm curious, can't you rent out apartments or condos with someone in your situation? Does it have to be a room in a house with the owner still living there? I ask because I considered that option once and then decided that it wasn't enough freedom. And landlords can be a pain in all the wrong places even when they're non-creepy!
ReplyDelete@ Raahi: I could...it's just that at the time of moving out I didn't have enough for a bond or furniture (I don't have a TV, fridge, washing machine, microwave). However, the aim is to save and hopefully in a month's time I can afford to move out. As for someone in my situation...all my friends here live at home with parents and the only 2 that don't are married! Sigh!
