Ever since I started college I have had roommates. My first roommate is one of my best friends and I love her to death. But after her I've had a series of roommates, all of which I like and have become friends with, but none fall into the BFF category. There is, of course, Teen Bride, who has since moved on to bigger and better things. Teen Bride and I also lived with Perfect Roommate, who I still live with along with our newest addition, California Blonde. Perfect Roommate really is a sweetie, but she never seems to make a mistake. California Blonde is a lot of fun, but is utterly ridiculous on so many levels. They both bring in men like you wouldn't believe. Perfect Roommate sets the bar high and only dates the hot ones. Blondie's completely flattered by every guy who shows interest, even though every guy on the street shows interest, and gives ever loser a chance.
California has been dating this guy for a while, though not exclusively. He's 11 years older than her and they have absolutely nothing in common. But she's totally enamoured and he's...I don't really know but I think it has something to do with her being 5'8" and blonde. So she totally doesn't know how to handle herself in this, making me her relationship coach. My real advice is to date someone her own age who she actually has something in common with, but I just keep that to myself and talk her through it. So this guy has been in Europe the past few weeks and she spends everyday talking about how much she misses him and blah blah blah. Part of missing him includes buying his cologne and spraying it on his hoodie she has, sleeping in said hoodie every night, calling his phone just to hear his voicemail and driving past his work.
So today she's driving past his work and what does she see? His car in his parking space!!!!! So she calls his phone but he still has his "I'm out of the country" voicemail up. So she comes home and announces to me, "Miss! My heart is broken!" and I'm just looking at her thinking, are you kidding me? And she expects me to explain it somehow or tell her what to do. And I'm like, what do I say...he came home and didn't call you. I'm trying not to be callous but what do I say? I don't know this guy and I don't even think he's a good match for her. I can't imagine acting like this over a guy, much less one I've only been casually dating for a month or so. Her heart is not actually broken so why do I have to listen to it? And you know a good way to heal? Date one of the two dozen boys waiting in line for you. This girl could be married by now if she wanted, she just has to pick one. Not saying she should be, but honestly girl, get a grip. This is not a problem.
