not at all a boyfriend. just someone i currently work with and for some reason trust alot. we're both going to through "stuff" right now, i need a place to go, he needs a roommate. his last one didnt turn out so good. loooong story, wont get into that either.  
what hurts the most was being so close and having so much to say and watching you walk away and never knowing what could have been

P.C.

its a little bit more though.

  I asked that in a way that allowed for that possibility.  Sorry you're having troubles, I hope whatever you choose to do works out.

Make sure your arrangements with your roommate are in writing....dated and signed by each.

If you pay cash for anything.....get a receipt (for the protection of both parties)

If he's a heterosexual male then I hope you're not expecting some sort of platonic relationship once you move in, 'cause he's probably not. If he's gay then it might work out fine.

 so he's single, your single and then your living together? Hmm not a good combo there.  Plus he's older he could take advantage of you, no matter how much you 'trust' him.

reason: family problems im not willing to post up on the internet

school: next year would be my last

boyfriend: not at all. "big brother" figure? definitly

  i know 16 is young. thats why ive been thinking this through for so long. its not something i necesarly want to do, but something i almost need to? i wish i had a happy family life, but i dont. dont get me wrong, ive always had everything ive ever wanted we're not poor, and never have been hungry or anything. reasons are way deeper

 yeah he's single, your single. That's just inviting trouble at the door and leaving it wide open.

By the way. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I've had many platonic roommate relationships with guys.  [span style="text-decoration: underline;"]It's fine.[/span]

 really lil me? all the girls that I've known who've done this sort of arrangement have ended up dating the guy and since they lived together already it went really crazy really fast.

Yeah, but you haven't left yet.  Situations can change.

Lil, if you're an adult female who is used to taking care of yourself it's one thing. If you're a teenager who just left home and are living in the home of an adult male I think things can get a little more complicated. But mainly my point was that however she views their relationship, if the guy is hetero then he's most likely thinking something else.

i honestly appreciate everything thats being said. i realise there is alot to think about when leaving home for the first time. its not a decision im going to make over night. i dont plan on waking up one morning, packing up and leaving. either summertime, or ideally early next year. (around spring break next year?) i would have more money saved up and school would be finishing up. thanks everyone
