Evening, Mr and Miss here.
We have learnt a couple of important lessons over the last few weeks.
1) Don't ever live with a couple.
2) Generally don't do anybody any favours.
A few months ago we helped out our friend G by allowing her to crash on our sofa, completely free of charge, while she settled into London. She had had a run of very bad luck over the past few years so we decided to help here get back on her feet.
Things started off great, we helped her get a job, she was coming out (not like that) and we seemed to be one happy family so when P moved out, we gave her his room (the best in the house we might add).
However about 3 weeks in she shagged our other friend O and within 6 days they had completed the steps to married life. A process which takes normal people about 3 years. Or about never in our case. She rapidly dumped her friends, barricaded herself in her room and became all...whispery.
Last Thursday we received some news (by text) informing us that G was moving in with O. When we returned home on Friday she had managed to clean out her room. Do you remember that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie gets dumped on a post-it note? Well there wasn't even a post-it note.
In a week we have received, by way of apology, one defensively short email. Moral of the tale? There are some friends who will always put a partner before anything else. Recognise them quickly and don't do them any favours.
So with an empty room for the taking and rent day looming ever closer, we need to find a new housemate. Or more realistically some god awful freak who nobody else wants to live with, whom we pray will stay in their room, out of our sight.
In keeping with our quest to become more liberal, we have decided on the pre-requisite that said housemate must be gay. But not too gay. Baby steps.

hmm..... i think gay or straight is that important in your case. If i were you i would ask: How long have you been single? LOL, that would help ;)
