I'm very interested to see what people have to say about this situation, because in all honesty it amuses me. :) I am a 20 year old college girl, presently living with a 22 year old couple, and a 22 year old single guy. We all share a house and we get along magically. The entire arrangement is perfect. Recently however, the single guy and myself have been, well, a little friendlier than normal (not physically, just flirting and beig overly perverse), and things are starting to get a tad bit interesting. He plans on moving in with his cousin over the summer, so he wont be living with us anymore, and I have the feeling if we let this go on much longer, one or both of us is going to cave and jump into things head first. And again, not just physically. We do like each other, and dating actually wouldnt be that bad after awhile. So I guess what I'm asking is, is it ok for us to start this party early before moves down the road, or just suck it up and wait (bear in mind, even if you tell me to wait, my will may or may not hold that long.LOL). My other roommates are aware of the situation and they think it's awesome, but still, I'm unsure. Give me your thoughts!

Coming from someone who was in this situation a few years back, I say go for it. My husband and I met through a roommate of mine. He moved in the house with us and we were friends for a while... probably because when he moved in I was in a relationship. He watched the relationship go from good to destructive in a matter of months and he kept his distance and never even remotely acted interested. About a month after I finally broke off the relationship he started acting more interested. He would want to know if I had any plans and if not then he would find something for us to do, whether it was going to the movies or playing video games or whatever. There was also alot of banter back and forth and flirting.
He made the first move. We were coming back from the movies and it started pouring down rain on the way home... so by the time we got in the house, we were both completely soaked. I made some comment about looking like a wet puppy and he told me I'd made a very sexy wet puppy and kissd me.
That was all it took. I'll definately never forget that night and we started seriously dating after that. So like I said... you should go for it. Let him make the first move if you want, but drop hints that you're interested. Just remember, subtlty is key. Best of luck!

Your situation is almost EXACTLY like mine.lol We've been friends, he's dated a girl and I've helped him get over her, he's seen my failed relationships, etc. Now hes acting interested, asking if I want to join him on the smallest things (running to the store, going for a walk, going to the bank, a movie) and we flirt ALL the time. Just back and forth every day, and several occasions have come close to what you said happened in the rain.lol I hope this turns out like your situation.lol Congrats on your marriage.

If you both like each other then go for it you only live once.It maybe hard for you when he moves out to live with his cousin if your feelings are that strong
