Man people's reactions are never good to the whole trying to remain friends and live together. I didn't put in my original post, but we're both graduating in a few months so this situation will likely last 3ish months. It is temporary. Also, I have already conceded to the fact that I won't be bringing anyone back to my place. Whatever, I can deal with that. I understand the cards I am dealing myself and the game I am playing. I'm a pretty level-headed person and good at dealing with huge amounts of stress. I'm not really worried about myself at all in the whole trying to live together idea we have. At worse, we'll fight and end up moving to separate places (we're on a month-month lease) -- if so, almost everyone I talked was right and I simply delayed the inevitable. I don't think it will bother me too much other than losing her as a future friend and missing opportunities I might have had with people due to delaying moving out.
I think I should clarify for some people, I'm not really asking when people think I will feel ok to move on....I'm pretty much already there. I'm wondering what are people's opinions on when it is appropiate/decent to start dating again while showing respect to your old relationship/giving the other person enough time. I understand it's fairly complex, so I'm not looking for a specific amount of time to grant permission or something, but just wondering about what everyone else thinks about it.
Shaindra -
I think talking beforehand and not letting her find out from friends (or any 3rd party) is a really good point. Thank you.
