So, I have a potentially explosive situation here. Bear with me ladies, let me explain.

Many of you know that I have a new roommate as of last week. She is a lesbian, and a nice girl, but I am a tad leery of her because of how she was with her last housemate, a woman who I am a fairly close friend of. She's a bit...off... at times, and she is squatting, not paying rent at all, so I am a bit embittered about that, and this new roommate is not a friend of mine, by all accounts I did not actually know her until I agreed to let her move onto my closed off front porch (she's a friend of my other roommate's). What does that tell you all, that in reality I don't even have a cursory friendship with her at this point, I have a civil living situation I am trying to uphold for the (short) time she will be staying with us. I am trying to remain a cut above though for the duration of her stay.

Well, she comes with benefits, she cooks and cleans and has lots of interesting friends... like a nice healthy grouping of lesbian and bisexual friends from the area, all very sweet and attractive, that she is suddenly introducing myself and my other roomie to.

Here's the problem, I am very attracted to this one girl from her clique, Sharon...sad things is so is everyone else, including the new roommate... she has been trying to get into her pants for months. Well, earlier this week Sharon groped and kissed me in drunken flirtation... which was great but because she was so drunk I don't think she remembers it...plus Sharon is a very touchy/feely person and always says just because she does it doesn't mean it's anything sexual, which I get but I think others misconstrue it constantly. I think my new roomie saw because she has been behaving weirdly about Sharon to me ever since.

Last night she decided was the night to make her move on Sharon. She was very vocal about this, telling the group to not come over to the house until we call and she gives us the go ahead, to "give her some time to work her magic"... well, we called an hour or so later, the house was full of people, so she hadn't had a chance to seduce her and we were invited up. I go up, the new roomie is sulking a bit, but I ignore it and just do my thing, why should I prolong my fun because of her moods? Sharon and I end up flirting and such, she rubs my feet, I rub hers, she jumps in my lap, she plays with my hair, kisses at my face, rubs my back and sides...etc etc... also, Sharon's roommate finds out that I am the artist that my roommate was talking about to everyone and she starts getting all over me too, something that was completely unexpected but good as well. (I think my roomie was saying all of this to make herself appear cooler, but instead it just amped up my rep until I walked in the door and then everyone wanted to talk to me... so I think that tactic backfired on her. Whoops.)

I don't remember if my new roomie stormed off before or after this, but at one point I was lying on the floor with Sharon on one side and her roomie on the other and Sharon was kissing me and so did her roomie, with full on tongue, something that took me by utter surprise. I just remember that it was a good moment and then my roomie had disappeared.

Now, I know that both of these girls are party girls... as much as I would like to date Sharon she is not a commitment girl, and I am realistic about that... there's nothing wrong with drunken flirtings and friendships that are just as real and poignant while sober, which is what I feel like she and I are developing. However, I don't think my roomie has that concept in mind, it's fuck or nothing with her. At one point I was talking with Sharon about her and she mentioned she hit up on her that evening and Sharon turned her down, she said she was attracted to her but didn't want to ruin the friendship... that was her big concern. It's legitimate, I know... but my roomie obviously felt rejected and bitter the rest of the evening, and I don't think my escapades helped even though I make no apologies for it.

My concern, now, today, is that my roomie has been very cold to me today. I don't care if she is annoyed with me for my actions as far as Sharon is concerned, but I feel like since we are living together I am obligated to keep the relationship between her and I civil..and the attitude I have to incur the following day, combined with the fact that I think I am being exceedingly tolerant of her, given the circumstances, makes me not want to be as good of a Samaritan as I have been up until this point. And if it kept progressing to a better friendship with Sharon I don't want my new roomie to be angry with me for it because I was getting something she wanted and didn't get or whatever. At this point she (new roomie) has had so many close relationships with women in this town it's not even funny, and I feel if I hit up or get friendly with any of her exes she might become crazy possessive, and...well dammit, it's a small town and I'm bound to be attracted to someone she wants, or has had, or whatever.

....Who wants to start a poll to see how long it takes me to throw this woman out on her ass? I say another 72 hours, personally.

help. Thoughts anyone?
