You don't have to browse the Craigslist "Rooms for Rent" section very long before realizing that there are many tenants out there looking for "not just a roommate, but a FRIEND." This weekend's Times Real Estate section follows the journey of one 3BR LES apartment trying to figure out the right balance between being friendly roommies, but not BFFs. One tells them of a horrific summer she had where a roommate was seldom home, “and I got really lonely,”

Thanks for the brief summary! I had trouble following this rambling article which seemed to be saying the opposite of the headline. TMI in the morning.
Still, better to have a roommate who wants to be your friend than the all-too-familiar craigslist-posting roommate who hopes you're never there.

I just lost 20 ccs of testosterone reading this.
I once roomed with an acquaintance of a friend of a friend for 6 months in the EV, but she kicked me and the other roommate out (even though we were supposed to be there for a year minimum) because we were too distant with her; she claimed that she could only live with people who were willing to love her like she was a family member! I didn't even know this women before I moved in and rarely saw her because she was a flight attendant and always gone. She was a real pain in the ass (and a drunk, too!). Oh, she was also a big time slut - brought home different one-night-stand guys (usually thugs) three or four times a week.
Sounds like her need to be "loved like a family member" and her slutty behavior go hand-in-hand, or penis-to-mouth.

What ALL these silly wenches really need...is therapy. And Daddy's always good for paying for his "little pumpkin's" pursuits, whether it's Swarthmore, Tufts, a 3 bedroomer in EV, or just Dr. Schiller's couch.
when I was living with roommates I was always happy when they weren't home!
