Now that I think of it I don't think I've ever seen a successful roommate story
Especially the ones that involve "best friends".

Don't mean to hi-jack a thread but how many y'all are pushing your budget by living in a nice apartment complex?
Thinking about moving inside the city I work in. It's a long a commute everyday to and from work. Problem is , the area that my job is located in is terrible. The area I'm looking at has nice apartments but will take up 50% of my monthly income. (utilities included). It's near downtown Dallas. I like it. I feel MOTIVATED when I'm in that area. Seeing these North Dallas cats rollin' up in their 'Rarri's and Rovas gets me hyped.

and the girls

I think I rather pay more to live in a safer neighborhood. I'd hate to have my car jacked or have loud neighbors.

You from the Dallas area ? Where you at now?

Uptown? Looked into it but I couldn't see myself living in that area. Way too pretentious and materialistic for my taste. That's the home of the $30K millionaire. A lot of folks over there are just trying to stunt on each other..just wasn't me.

I found a spot dead in the middle of the "hipster/laid back" neighborhood in Dallas for a decent price. I'll be less than 100 feet away from coffee shops, shopping, restaurants, etc. and the people in the area are really down to earth.

Where at?

Left downtown... I'm up in the burbs now...

All I see is old white women jogging.

:frown:

Bishop Arts District, north oak cliff..why'd you leave downtown? You moved to Plano right? Thought they had some bad white women out there :lol:

It's 2015, hire a maid so some dirty dishes or a dirty living room doesn't mess up a ten year friendship.
Two incomes so yall should be able to easily afford it.

OP a female or male? either way, it wont work. learn to dorm. the sky has only room for one sun. in this day and age, the females cant even pull this off, much less two dudes.

unless you both neutered or spayed. this arrangment won‘t work.

most here watch too much friends and big bang to know.

itll be a good experience so that one day youll know where some.POVs come from

Your job must be in North GP. South of 20 in GP is better, for families at least. Have you looked into one of the aparrments off of I-30 in Dallas? Sylvan Thirty or Alexan Trinity maybe? You would be a shorter drive to downtown/Uptown, but right by 30 which is a straight shot to one of the exits in north GP. Probably a 20 min drive since you're going against traffic

I did it and i would never do it again , my boy was cool but he was real slow when it come to paying the bills and cleaning ......

I've had plenty of actual roommates when I was in the Navy and we slept in the same room. It was always better when you could room with a friend. I smashed broads with the roomie in the room. I remember having this italian chick bent over, butt in the air and my face was buried in it and roomie past out in the other bed. Either one of us could wake up in the morning and find a naked chick in the others bed.

We always respected each others space.

I was fortunate in college. Noticed a trend, my roommates were almost always in serious relationships (three separate occasions). I don't know if it's a chick thing or my roommates' girlfriends were keen to give me privacy, but all the couples slept in the girl's room way more than ours.

Quick story: My sophomore year, didn't really mesh with my assigned suite mates. They were into different music and track bikes so we didn't talk much. One afternoon I had a girl over and didn't think she was that loud. According to my suite mates, she was moaning through the wall(s) and they were sitting in the living room (common space) listening and watching TV quietly. Side bar: That chick was dope. Sofrito was our spot and she wanted to bang me in the dorm elevator. Tragic flaw? Cocaine addict.
At least you have a semblance of decency and common courtesy. Junior year: Different set of suite mates, became much closer friends in comparison to my first story. We had two Asian girls over, one Korean and the other Mongolian. Unique notch on the belt, I know. Anyway somehow I got saddled with the Mongolian, she was the lesser attractive of the two. Girl is on my bed pouring her heart out to me. Life story, the whole deal. Just broke up with a long-term boyfriend. The Lothario in me saw an opening to knock boots. Little did I know or realize that I forgot to close or lock the door. So my suite mates decided to be annoying, popping in randomly with play-by-play that would make Marv Albert proud. I didn't care, don't mind performing under the bright lights. Found out after, I was only her second sexual partner which made sense because she was very inexperienced during our tryst and wouldn't give head even though I ate her out for a solid half of college basketball.

always brings the goods

at me for not going away for college. I seriously get depressed from time to time. Not to mention when I used to go on long road trips alone to visit my friends at all these different campuses and it seemed like they was living a party 24/7 with no regrets

mastamind033 · Mar 1, 2015

Lived with 2 of my best friends after college for about 2 and a half years and we're still best friends.

I was the best man and the other friend was a groomsmen at the homie's wedding just this past summer and we still talk to each other all time.

All three of us are clean, paid our **** on time, always respected each other's space, and if we had a problem with a roommate, we communicated to each other like men.

I think as long as you have those 4 things down, living with a best friend will be no problem.

Those couple years after college were just as fun as college and I miss those guys as roommates.

jaysfiend23 · Mar 3, 2015

salute', ive done it before years ago a long as you guys communicate and you guys set rules for like parties, girls, money you guys will do fine. thats what i did and it worked out great best of luck

yungchris504 · Mar 3, 2015

As long as yall have an initial discussion of the boundaries yall will be good. Don't hold that **** in though sometimes dudes just don't realize what they are doing, communication is very key.

Are you guys soulmates?

solemate96 · Mar 5, 2015

It's been almost a week since we have moved into our new apartment and I must say everything has been going well. We communicate well and there hasn't been any issues yet. We keep the common areas clean and we are rotating in regards to taking out the trash. He brought his girl over the very first day we moved in and I wasn't really feeling that but she left at around 2am because he kind of knew what the deal was.

I don't really see him because he starts work at 5am and I start work at 8. He comes home around 8 or 9 at night and I'm back home by 5:30.

I think it varies from individual to individual and friendship to friendship, but I think there is a clear distinction between what defines a good roommate and a good friend.

I could never live with my best friend because I would feel obligated to be there for him 24/7 if he needed me. And as an independent male, with my own life and girl, I couldn't do that. Like, if my boy was having a ****** day at work, or if his girl had cheated on him, (happened before,) I would feel obligated to have a beer with him or chill with him, pretty much every day cause we would be around each other everyday.

However, if I moved in with a stranger, who I got along with well, whatever **** he's going through, is his business. I wouldn't feel obligated to step in under any circumstances.

Hold up... So homie is gone before you in the morning and back after you in the evening (meaning the apartment is basically yours for those free hours) and you get tight cause his girl sticks around till 2am. Nahhhhhh fam, when is he supposed to bring his girl over if you always there when he gets back.
