Roomie Love

My roommate and I get along really well, but we hang out with completely different groups - meaning I don't hang out with her much outside of the room. I want this to change. I like the girl, but we just have different friends who don't all hang out together. What's more, her friends live in different buildings, while mine live on our floor.

So lately we've been making an effort to actually hang out together. Today we have a gym date after class and we've been going to breakfast on Thursdays when our class schedule coincides. I feel like we are courteous when we're together, and we have progressed to the joke making stage in our relationship, but we're not quite tight. I want to change that. Because, I mean, I like her well enough although she isn't my favorite person ever, I feel like we could be better friends than we are if I just got to know her better. Plus it would be good to forge some bonds with the person I'm going to be living with for the rest of the year and next. It'd be nice to live with someone you trust deep down and feel like you can open up to. So here begins stage one of operation roomie-love!
