Betrayal of the Roommate
Q & A with Ms. Tiree
Section: Opinion
Q: Dear Ms. Tiree,
I'm in a sticky situation. I'm a sophomore and my roommate and I have become best friends since my freshman year. We have the same major, same classes, same taste in clothes, and we do almost everything together. Last semester, she started talking to this guy in one of our classes. He's cool, and when they go out I usually go along with them. Sometimes when they have fights, he will call me to talk about their problems and get me to talk to my roommate for him. Well one night, he came by the room and my roommate was still in a group meeting. We were watching TV and before I new it, we were kissing. Now whenever I see him, we have that sexual tension between us. We've kissed a few times after that, but I'm afraid to go any further because I don't want to ruin my relationship with my roommate. I'm really starting to like him but I don't want him to interfere with our friendship. What should I do?

A: Dear Caught Up,
What you need to be afraid of is your roommate whipping your tail when she finds out you sneaking around with her man! How dare you violate your friendship because you like the way he kisses. He's just trying his luck out with you and you fell for the bate. If he was any type of real boyfriend, he would have never approached you like that, simply out of respect for your roommate. I don't think you like him, I think you like the way he treats your roommate and want him to treat you the same way. There are plenty of fish in the sea for you to choose from girl, why do you want her fish? If you care about your roommate the way you claim you do, you need to tell her what's going on before he gets the chance, because in situations like this, the first too confess is usually more believable. He is no good for either one of you and you need to take a step back and examine yourself and your friendship skills, and why you would allow yourself to be put in this type of situation. Like the old saying goes, men come and go, but true friends last forever. Think about it girl.
