Twenty eight, five housemates, and the most available person you will meet
Posted as five_housemates
- Looking for
- something ongoing in either direction, anywhere that is not my house
- Experience
- Three years, several short things, nothing that lasted a year.
- Around
- the inner city, Sydney
There are five of us in the house and one bathroom, and my bedroom shares a wall with the living room, which means my entire life in this happens somewhere that is not where I live.
Twenty eight, the inner city, switch, three years in. I know how common this is here and I also know how quickly it ends conversations, so I am leading with it. I cannot host. I will probably not be able to host for years. That is the housing market and neither of us is going to be clever enough to solve it.
What I can do is travel anywhere, at almost any hour, at very short notice. No dependants, no car payments, no fixed commitments beyond work. I am the most available person you will meet on here, which is worth something even if it is not worth a spare room.
What I want is something ongoing rather than a run of evenings, in either direction. I lead with people who are new to me and bottom with people who are not, which I have only recently noticed about myself and find slightly embarrassing.
Not looking for anybody who wants to come to mine, which I promise is not coyness. Not looking for a first meeting anywhere expensive, since we are being honest about money. Not looking for anybody who will describe me as young, which happens constantly and always means something specific.
