Yes they do, and this fact saved my Philosophy grade!
It was a Friday near the end of the semester and a few friends and I decided to drive around Illinois to a bunch of abandoned places to go exploring over the weekend. My final paper (big part of my grade) for my philosophy class is due online that midnight. I hadn't started it yet, but I think 'No problem, I'll write it in the car.' Well that didn't happen. We go to a couple of cool places and then find somewhere out far away from anywhere to camp. At this point it was already dark and my friends built the tent in the headlights of the car while I sat in the headlight beam to write my essay. When we finished it was due online in half an hour so we got in the car and drove like crazy trying to figure out a way for me to turn it in. But luckily, even when there is nothing else anywhere, there is a McDonald's within 20 minutes. And you can use their wifi from the parking lot even when they are closed.
Probably something you shouldn't commit to if you don't start dating and she's someone you still have a thing for.
Unless you're OK with the sounds of some guy drilling her in the room next door, in which case, you're a better man than I.

Yeah... you do raise a good point. I... I just don't know about moving into a relationship while moving in together. Sure we'll have separate rooms but... I'm not sure i'm comfortable with that idea.
I have tons of euphemisms readily available for the young lady in the room next door reaching climax at the aid of a designated pipe-layer... do you really need me to keep going?

DON'T. JUST DON'T!
I've done it, I have friends who have done it. It won't be fun, I promise you
You don't want to sign a lease with someone if you're in that situation. Living with people is WAY different thanbeing good friends, as everyone finds out eventually.
If you have feelings for them before you move in together but are not dating, you'll probably have expectations for them as a roommate they may not reach. You may also have to deal with, like mentioned above, her being with someone else. If you don't want to feel lonely/hurt/jealous, you shouldn't put yourself through that.
If you start dating right before you both move in, having separate rooms is not going to make a difference. Because again, living with a person can be hard, and starting something new would be putting TONS of pressure on both of you. I also assume you don't know her all that well? If that's the case, there's no telling how long you guys would last, which could be a week, and then it would come down to living with your ex.
Similar situations to this are why I never again want to officially move in with my significant other until I marry them. Or am with them for at least more years than I can count on one hand.

I know her really well actually- we hung out most days of the week last year- we haven't had a major conflict or argument yet. But, still... I totally agree that living together probably isn't a good idea.

Why does this make me think that I'm going to come home one day, only to find you pitched up in my living room in a Colonel Gaddafi-style bedouin tent?
My newsletter is that I woke up this morning horrified and...I can't fucking figure out what I was dreaming about. And strangely enough, I've been stuck on contemplating my own death today. Not a productive line of thinking, that one.
Aumni, I discovered that I'm much better with Ken, Cammy, Sakura, and Sagat than I am with Viper. But then, the tutorials I've found for them are a bit better.
When I get my computer hooked back up, you want to play some more?

No, I meant PA. But good lord, DDV, what the hell, man?! Think positive!
I just mean...you know. Forever is a long fucking time. The idea that there might not be an afterlife is...really kind of terrifying. It's a really weird thing to fixate on all of a sudden, since people do their best to think about it as little as possible, but damn. What a thing to get hung up on.
In other news, I am officially below 300 lbs! 297 at last weigh in. Need to change my sig.

I don't think you can... but why would you want to?
Just now my brother starts screaming at me, then my mum. The reason being that I asked him if he wanted the bathroom, he said wouldn't 20-30 minutes, and I chose to wait until he'd left. That is the whole reason. I could stand him shouting at me, but I couldn't stand him screaming at my mum again, so for the first time I finally stood up to him about it, told him nobody deserves to be screamed at like that, told him never to shout at her again. He's always been an asshole, but he doesn't usually get physical.
I just don't know how to deal with him. I think he's going through something, but it's impossible to talk to him and I don't know how to help him either. I don't want to hate him, I wish we could just have a normal relationship, but it's so damn hard.

Yeah, but parking lots in the States are generally bloody huge.

This is not bad though.
We just might be living together next semester... :shock:
edit: which is... surprising, awkward, and probably something i won't commit to if we do start dating.

to PA? why would you do that
Yeah seriously. Leaving PA means we gotta go through the exit rituals.
No one ever posts again after the exit rituals. No one knows why.

But of course, mon petit dejeuner.

e: Yeah, in my world, 297.8 counts as 297.
But if it's an option, I don't plan on dying. Go go science!
