I can't stop being the other guy

In America, being "dependent" in your 20s isn't seen as a good thing. It creates an image that the person is inept in some way (a loser). There may be good reasons for it, but it's basically a social stigma.

I know most of my Asian friends stay at home until they are in their late 20s and even many of them end up living with one of the spouse's parents anyway when they get married

That would drive me crazy but if it works for them cool, seems like it's more of an asian family thing

But yeah it's generally frowned up in USA, alot of my friends (who aren't asian) are often embarassed if they are still at home and in their 20s

they sounded hard to deal with

could you possibly live on your own?

most people don't like to live right away with the person they are dating anyways (they like a bit of distance available)

I know that VA at least is pretty cheap...

Yeah, I've kinda given up on the idea of moving in with someone for the summer, but who knows.

The big thing about getting my own place is that I was going to be gone from late June until late July at an army camp and I don't want to leave some place unattended for a month to get broken into. I could always rent a storage space, but the place itself would still be vulnerable.

You're a strange character...you want a girlfriend merely for the purpose of not living with your parents over the summer. You may deny it but you've said it and that is your primary motive here. Perhaps it is time for a bit of self respect my friend, stop jumping into bed with the first whore you encounter. To be fair these females you've encountered sound like utter lowlives...constantly cheating on their partners, even promising to give up existing partners for you. Don't you think you're getting the ****ty end of the stick here?

[Provost Harrison]

You know, I doubt I ever will understand what makes most humans tick...

I think you are being a bit too pessimistic. I like to go into sitautions and look for how they can be good. I'm not going to just assume I'm going to get a ****ty end of the stick. I don't think this is something that will always plague me which is why I've asked for suggestions here. I wasn't really trying to go back and deny it really...it's just that a couple weeks ago I did pretty much give up on finding someone for the summer and have kinda gone to thinking up other solutions for that.

And I don't really just jump into bed with the first whore either. If it doesn't seem like something at least could come of it and I don't like the girl, I don't let much happen.

Well I'm going out for drinks with the married one this Saturday night. Wonder how this will go...

You don't live with your parents while in college. That's just gross!

[Apocalypse]

Yep.

So I guess you have a rep for being easy and keeping your mouth shut. The girls probably are passing your name around so they have someone to get some from when their significant other ain't cutting it.

The stuff I did a couple weeks ago got around pretty well. The guy doesn't know.

Her boyfriend wrote "Hey baby! I miss you so much! I hope you had a good time, gimme a call whenever you get settled back in. LOVE YOU!" on her facebook wall. I feel so bad.
