roommate interviews
I have a bunch of interviews/ meet ups with peeps looking for roommates this week, lets hope i dont get anybody like this, but i bet it would make for a great blog entry....ok this picture is already starting to gross me out....i am SO glad i'm gay.
I sent out a few e-mails this evening and already have a few meetings set up, so i hope it wont be too judgy, judgy...and that the people arent complete freaks.
now i am trying to decide if i come out to people right away, when we are seeing if we are a good fit, or wait until i know them a little better. I'm not a shout it from the rooftops type, but i'm definitely not a closet case either...i guess i should just play it by ear, but i for sure dont want to set things up and then end up living with closet homophobes.
Any advice? i have never had to find a roommate before; i have always known people. I am just not sure how these things work, i have never had to interview to be someones friend before...i feel like the biggest tool. It serves me right for only hanging out with mid-twenties friends of my sister everytime i come to visit...speaking of i was out in mt. pleasant with my middle sister and her work friends, one of whom is this total granola dyke who knew the whole history of the bars and gays of mt. plsnt, it was a pretty interesting conversation.

loula,
i would tell them right away that you are gay. you do not want them to be shocked when they do find out or want them to feel like you tricked them into moving in if they hate gay people. plus you don't want them to preach to you about the sins of homosexuality. that would be awful for you.
good luck! hope you can find a gay room mate! that would be sweet! is there a craigslist in DC? there must be... you should check it out.
