I think I’m falling for my housemate, and I have a suspicion that she might be interested in me too.
We cook each other food, watch tv together most nights, have similar values about keeping the house in a clean state. We shop together, eat together frequently, and often we’ll just lounge in the living room for an hour or so just chatting.
At first I dismissed it as just a crush that would probably go away in a few weeks, but I’ve noticed that she’s started to become a little flirty when it’s just the two of us. We tease each other all the time, like we make fun of each other for little things that shouldn’t even be funny but they are. I caught her literally just staring at me the other night in this longing way. So I’m starting to think that maybe, she might just be interested too, and that I should make a move at some point.
The main issue I would have is finding a time when we’re both free to go on a date, as we’re both insanely busy with uni work and other commitments. So I’m not sure if it’s even gonna be possible.
What are the thoughts on this? I know it’s generally advised to stay away from situations like this but are there any exceptions to the rule?
