So I realize I came down as a bit harsh yesterday on the whole "close match" situation. I've checked again today and he hasn't responded back so I think the whole thing is over. I'm not angry in a sense but more frustrated and somewhat upset about the situation. Given what he hold me about his upbringing I guess it would make sense that he would probably be uncomfortable rooming with a gay guy. He seemed like such a nice person and I'm sure he is, so, if I do meet him I hope we can still be friends.
With this, I'm continuing on my search for a roommate. I've contacted three other people and I hope they'll respond back. One of them outright said he was gay in his profile and says he's "eclectic" which I will be asking him to expand on later if he responds but we share a good bit in common so we'll see how it turns out. I labeled him as "eclectic gay" in my CHARMS contacts. The other person I've contacted is a bit more athletic, he plans to get more involved but he seems to be pretty study oriented as well. He wants to go out and explore the city however which I would gladly oblige to do (hey, I'm an area native, it's practically my duty). I nicknamed him "sporty". The final guy I messaged was this really fun sounding guy. He also is rather laid back but he seems to like to have fun and balance that with studying it as well. He's a 6'3" unicycle rider which is freaking awesome. I labeled him as "fun guy"
I know, those are some of the stupidest names of all time but they get the point across and I can easily tell who's who at least.
Well, wish me luck. Hopefully I can avoid a "close match" debacle repeat.
All the best,
JP

I always got random roommates, it seems more fun that way. And luckily for me, I've always lucked out, unlike others...lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd actually, the guy across my room, freshman year was about 6'3 Unicycle rider too...He was strictly Catholic and kinda of an ass to all the girls on my floor. Then I saw him sometime sophomore year, and he changed his name literally, and acted like he didn't know me.
