My mate who lives with me...

right my mate who lives with me likes to sleep next to someone when he goes to sleep. its usually his girlfriend, but when shes not here he always tries to sleep in my room.
im not worried about him trying it on with me cos i know he wouldnt its just that id prefer sleeping alone since i find it more comfortable!
what can i do to make it clear to him that i like sleeping alone??
every time he mentions it im like please no no i want a good nights sleep etc...
i dunno what to do :frown:

tell him he can't sleep in yoru room thats just weird. And also if I was his girlfriend and found out he'd be staying in your room I'd go nuts. You can do without the hassle.

Just tell him that you find it easier to sleep on your own and would appreciate it if he did too.

Or, you could tell his girlfriend that he is sleeping with you and wait for the fireworks.

but we really good mates and have had to in the past.
plus me and his girlfriend get along really well and dont think it would bother her... then again it would bother me if i was in her situation :redface:

i have done, just hoping he'l get the hint sooner or later!
i cant do that to him or his girlfriend, like i said before, not so sure it would bother her.

well I'm not really the jealous type at all but I'd go mad if I found out my boyf was sleeping with another girl and I'd never believe it was platonic on both sides. Even if I trusted him I certainly wouldn't trust the girl.

Tell him you feel awkward about it because of the girlf.

Same here. Don't get jealous very often but I would go mental at Wzz if I found out he was sharing a bed with another girl.

I'd have a quite word with the gf if shes a good friend. Explain nothing goes on but you feel uncomfortable and don't kow how to tell him.

Are you sure he doesn't have a crush its very odd behaviour.

Or maybe he's misplaced feelings for a parental figure and is looking for some sort of support?

Actually, that is kind of creepy.

:eek:
nah dont think so... im a bit of a younger sister figure to him.
You'd be surprised....

I knew a girl who had misplaced feelings for her father. He abanoded her when she was little so she spent her life trying to place those feelings elsewhere. She'd go out with guys her age and a bit older but would act very childish around them.

It was VERY creepy.

seriously?
well his parents are still there for him, he had a sister who passed away, but that was well before he was born and his parents never talk about it so it doesnt really affect him.
It just sounds like he may be missing something.

Why can't he spend a night alone? Why does he need that company and comfort? Whats he afraid of?

I'd be creeped out if any of my mates were acting this way.
Just put drawing pins around on the floor and wait for him to stand on them when he creeps in your room at 3am.

When he cries with pain you pretend you think its a burglar and beat him over the head with a pan...

Hopefully he will be detrerred from entering again anytime soon...
You could start having horrible nightmares and kick him to hell when you're 'asleep'. Then snore loudly, grind your teeth and drool on him. :wink:

Yes, but why?


thats just his personality!
when he was younger he was overweight and over the past year and a half he lost alot of weight and has been getting so much more attention from girls, more like all the time. so when he doesnt get it i think he feels wierd so tries to get it from his friends .... not in a bad way tho
sounds like a real creep to me, obviously I don't know the guy but seriously...take a step back and stop looking at the situation through rose tinted glasses.
And the fact he has a girlfriend already, i'm sorry but it's completely overstepping the mark.
