My best friend and I graduated college last June, and we've each been living at our parents house in order to save up some money. We have steady jobs in town, and he suggested we go out for an apartment together, now that we've got money saved up.
The only thing is, we're a single girl and guy, and there are certain connotations to living together. We are definitely not friends like THAT at all. Some people believe us when we say it, but many people think we're together because we get along so well. The thing is, we have so much in common that I'd rather spend time with him than with most other people, but the thought of kissing him is disgusting. He's expressed the same opinion about me, so we have a completely mutual brother/sister type relationship.
I'm kind of nervous about what other people will presume about us if we get an apartment together. I'm on the search for a boyfriend and he's on the search for a girlfriend, and I'm wondering how living together might affect that part of our lives.
What would you think of two friends, opposite sex, living together? Would you believe them if they said they were just friends?
Would you date someone who lived with someone of the opposite sex?
If you were me, would you just stay at Mom & Dad's until you had enough money for a down payment for a permanent place, rather than wasting money on an apartment in between?
