Reason # 4522

Ah, reason # 4522.  LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS. 

 

 

I'm all about family.  I have 2 kids of my own and I make the 40 minute drive to my parents' house every Tuesday and on the holidays.  But, I do not LIVE with them. 

 

 I'm not even sure how many guys have sent a text to me asking if we could hang out and ok, what can I say, I play along. 

 

"Yea, maybe we can hang out sometime"

"What's your favorite movie?  Maybe we can watch it together sometime."

 

And as we get into the conversation and I think to myself, "hm, this could be fun" they throw out the living situation.  Just as you think you're going to make it to home base, BAM!  Smacked in the face by the ball. 

 

"You what?  Oh, so you'll have to come to MY house....hmm...yea.."

 

I have no problem with opening my house to these potential dates...but come on!  We can't have that perfect date where we do dinner then he invites me to his house to watch a movie.  NOPE!  Sorry about your luck, you attract the losers that "can afford to live on their own but are staying with their parents to help them out".  Please.  Stay in your basement "apartment", play WOW, and call your mom to make you a sandwich and see if she can bring it down for you.

 

What happened to the real men who own/rent their own place???  Am I not looking in the right spots for these guys?  I bet they are hiding...or already have girlfriends.

 

 

This is just a sad reoccurance for me that just turns me off completely.  I understand that you may be tight for money, but that just means that I will have to pay for things.  And, an example from my last relationship, I paid for EVERYTHING!  He didn't live with his parents but he always came up with the excuse of how he didn't have any money so the check was always passed to me.  So now, I associate the guy living with his parents with me paying for eveything and I will not go back to THAT.

 

I'm not wanting to be spoiled, but I think from my last relationship, I deserve something.  Whether it be for a guy to take me out on a real date, pay for dinner, movie, etc.  I am not saying that he has to pay ALL the time, but it would be nice to split the responsibility sometimes. 

 

I'm sure people will have their opinions of me being so picky and sort of...mean about what I have to say about living with your parents but...these are my thoughts.
