OMG I love my housemate!! What to do next?

Post Reply New Topic

Ok, not romatically. But here's the thing. This is my third year in university and every since second year, I have been living in a house with people whom I have never met, and some of them are real quiet. Others do talk but I somehow feel that there is no friendship.

But this year, someone in my appartment loves to make conversations yet he's not annoying. And whats weird is that I feel completely comfortable socializing with him and I am able to talk about what I want.

I am afraid that once I leave this house that I'm living in, I will lose contact with him. There is not much people out there like him. I tried searching him on facebook but can't find him. I could ask for his cell number/email but I don't know if he's one of those people who just likes to make random conversations with whoever is living in the same house. Should I do that? If so when? Near the end of the term? What if he never meant a permanent friendship but only likes to talk with whoever is in his presence?

I think most NT's are open to new friendships with the right people, as they do tend to get lonely as well.

Do you two have some sort of common ground like sports or something like that? Maybe you can invite him over to "have some beers and watch the game".

Or maybe you can invite him to w BBQ or something. My mother's boyfriend would invite potential new friends over to BBQ and play the guitar.

Add him on facebook.

If I'm not too late, my advice would be to ask for his cell phone number/Skype/Whatever you use as soon as you can.

Even if he doesn't have any of the above, making a request like this shows that you like him and want to become better friends with him. By asking him for a means of communication, you're showing him that you're interested and like him as a person, which is important in forging a friendship.

The next time you're free and he doesn't seem busy, invite him out to do something fun, like a movie or trip to an arcade. If you enjoy his company, ask for his contact details so that you can plan a future event. If he likes you in return, which is pretty likely if he's having these nice conversations with you, then he'll give you these contact details and possibly return the favor by inviting you out in the future.

Good luck!

Get to know him more.
