Even if they do like you, they may not show it.
Be smart, and take baby steps.
Invite them to hang out outside of your home.
If they decline, dont push the subject.
I was very shy in the beginning, but we grew more comfortable with each other over time.
The three of them hung out a lot, but Caitlyn was closer to Sam.
A third party usually has insights you dont, especially if theyre close to the situation.
Who knows, maybe theyll have noticed that you and the hot roommate have a lot in common.
They might even encourage you!
But you have to give them that chance.
Be upfront and honest.
Instead of leaning in for a kiss with no warning, express your feelings.
Still, only you know the real vibes of the situation.
I was mad, to be honest, she said.
We were all really really close friends and [suddenly] I felt left out.
We were a really close group of friends and I was so sad that the dynamic was changing.
Ultimately, of course, she recognized that her roommates affection for each other was real.
We still had separate bedrooms but would alternate bedrooms and were always sleeping together.
Remember, they deserve to have transparency about the goings-on in their own home.
Caitlyn was grateful for their honest approach… eventually.
Most couples wait a while to move in together, but you wont get that chance.
Always communicate, be honest, and respect that youre functioning as a coupleandas joint caretakers of the home.
And be prepared: If you break up, its going to be weird.
Its going to besoweird, even weirder than any other breakup youve had.
Youll know if they sleep over at someone elses house orworsehave a new hookup come over.
Or both of us.
Bask a little in how cute and fortuitous it is!
For all you know, you could end up remaining together long after your lease is up.
After the initial shock of it all, I honestly just felt happy for them, said Caitlyn.
And theyre still together several years later.
