fancy flatmate

    oh lads,

    i'm in london and just split up with boyf. have been living in a shared apartment for over a year now and i think i really fancy my flatmate - which spells trouble. esp since we are due to go travelling together as FRIENDS and with another person to SE Asia. We're not that close, its just a crush, but Im very concerned that he will be appalled if he ever finds out! not to metnion awkwardness of travel.

    also, pretty sure he doesnt know i like him as i sometimes talk to him about trouble with ex-boyf (i was considering gettng back).

    mainly i'm afraid he wont feel same..:(

    How do I approach this upcoming travel?
    advise very very very welcome!!

    I think your flatmate probably was very nice gave you great advice and probably offered you a shoulder to cry on. Don't ruin a good friendship on the rebound x

    +1, that pretty much sums it up. Don't ruin your chance of having a great time travelling by realising a rebound crush, don't go there OP.

    no use telling yerself lies lovers should be friends

    thanks....sounds wise. best, and fairer, not to do anythign. He is typical english and doesnt do bodycontact or emotions so i really cant read him anyway - except that me travelling was his idea.

    looking at the girls's replies here and i just dion't get how ye can't understand men

    we are simple critters
    we like when people think we are great
    either he's interested or he's not but if he is then its great an ye coild have a brilliant time in se asaia
    if he isin't he'll be happy and confident in your company due to the ego boost
    win
    win
    and wtf would a realationship ruin a real;ationship

    He's a bloke. He won't be appalled. You could

    a) Not go travelling
    b) Go and one night after a few drinks it will come out

    stop daydreaming about this guy and fix your attentions on someone else. Either that, or shag him and see what happens.

    happened to me in college. Girl that moved in fancied me but was very direct about it. She was a stunning girl but good ole Red decided to have morals and play the "no housemates" rule.

    Yeah that lasted two weeks, we went out on the piss, she corned me, i gave up. She moved out 3 months later, was distraught :D

    Life's short. Why not ?

    Stupid rule.

    OP, i would suggest you contemplate two things.

    1) Rebound
    2) Proximity Infatuation.

    Your flat mate is one of them.

    Its just about a crush, your now single and horny and he is in close proximity and is someone you know and trust and you tell yourself that it's not like shagging a complete stranger so that you fell like less of a slapper.

    Go out and get laid and leave your friend alone.
