does it sound bad?

Question

when i tell a girl i still live with my parents. I'm 20, I pay em 150 a month rent and help with the groceries from time to time. When talking with a new chick and the conversation points in this direction its kind of embarrassing to talk about. My older brothers and sisters tell me to stay with my parents till i finish a lot of college and get a really good job under my belt. But its kinda hard to tell a girl i can't take her back to my place because my parents will hear us

Answer 1

Well i would say move on campus or go to a hotel room. But dont be embarassed it really is a smart move to stay with your parents..it really is

Answer 2

Sorry Ukiah, but for someone so insecure he has to ask girls what they think of guys wearing eye make up, you shouldnt really pretend you know what girls like and dont.

To Blake. Every girl is different. Some wont care about it. Some will. Im 16 but I still live with my mom and to be honest its more exciting at the risk of being caught! If you still feel really bad and dont want your parents to hear anything you should think about renting a hotel room. Ok it can be expensive, but you have to weigh up whether or not the price of the room is as good as the sex!

Answer 3

Well that just shows you can't it both ways.
Stay home and enjoy the almost free ride or get a job and support yourself - give up school - and you won't have so many girls to hit on - get a job and an apartment and hope you can entice girls to come over! What a pickle. Let's just tell it like is - save a few bucks so you can afford a nice motel to take a girl "so your parents won't hear you" Not that you would ever want to INTRODUCE a girl to your folks!! - just want to use the pad for the cheesey stuff!!
Welcome to the REAL WORLD, and Yes it does SOUND BAD --

Answer 4

Times are really hard right now to live on your own. Just tell the girl you are going to school and you are trying to save money. Living with your parents at 20 is NOT a big deal -- at 35, yes.......you need to stay where you are to get ahead in life. Don't worry -- any normal human being would understand this. My son was with us at 25 -- is out and gone now.......it's all okay.....you have nothing to be embarrassed about -- only PROUD that you are doing the right thing -- school, etc. -- the girls will get over it and you'll be much better later for it -- for real -- trust me. It's too hard now to make it on your own as it is. Get your education. You'll have girls ALL OVER YOU at that point -- be patient - it won't be that long.

Answer 5

Blake, I can understand your problem, but I'll tell you the truth...nowadays, it's NOT bad to still live with your parents while you're going to school...BESIDES, you're giving them money and contributing groceries (at least every now and then) that's more than most others do who still live with their parents (more like SPONGE off them).
Your siblings ARE right, and I bet your parents agree. Is there not a way to make your living space somewhat of a "studio apartment" with it's own entrance/exit? That might cut down on the embarrassing "my parents will hear us" thing.

Good luck to you in the dating arena and congrats on staying in school.

Answer 6

Are you serious? Weirdo! What's wrong with living with your parents? I see you still have time to grow up...
You're not 40, just 20!!!
You should be glad you have a family that loves and supports you, don't take them for granted!
loser


p.s. if you think youre too cool or too old to still live at home than you should try moving out as a student and see how cool you'll feel brining someone home to cups of Oodles and Noodles.

Answer 7

I find when I talk to younger girls, like in their late teens early twenties, they aren't all caught up in if a guy is living at home when he is 20, especially if he has a plan for the future, that means alot, I think a woman would rather date a college man that can provide for them in the future than a guy working at a drive up window so he can live with his 2 buddies in a messy apartment, just keep your nose to the grindstone help out mom and dad and it will pay off for you.

Answer 8

Lots of people your age stay at home at 20. Your in college and most girls are pretty cool about it. If its a girl you really like then wait after a few dates then tell her about your situation. And if they do ask tell them why you live with you parents, im in college i cant afford college and board. if she's not understanding after that then is that the girl you really want after all?

Answer 9

lol well you're only in college so it's really not that bad. it depends on the girl, though. i think most will find it totally unattractive if they are not understanding. for me, i find it acceptable since you are still in school. plus you seem to be really responsible in voluntarily paying them and helping w/ finances. i think thats really nice unless your parents forced you to, lol.

right after you finish college you should leave. get an apartment and a good job. until then be realistic and dont expect to 'get' much.

Answer 10

Don't feel embarassed. Your older siblings are right...just don't be embarassed about it. I think you're doing the responsible thing. So what if it's awkward for a while.

And at the risk of sounding like a grandma, what exactly is there to hear? Casual sex is disgusting...how many girls are you wanting to take back to your place anyway?
