So me (22M) and my best friend (22F) are looking at apartments together because we both wanna move to the same city and figured it’d be better than dealing with random roommates.
We found a really nice 3 bedroom apartment for $1950/month. Great location, train station literally downstairs which is huge for me cuz I don’t drive. Place includes water/gas and has all the basic appliances but otherwise unfurnished.
The bedrooms are all roughly the same size, but one has an ensuite bathroom and another has a balcony. She wants the ensuite room, which I was totally fine with because I wanted the balcony room anyway. The 3rd bedroom would mostly be used as her gaming room/extra closet/storage room, though she did offer to let me store stuff in there too like winter jackets and extra things. (But only after we disagreed on how we split rent IF we took the apartment)
When we talked about rent, I suggested splitting it by room since $1950 divides perfectly into $650 each. So I’d pay $650 for my room, and she’d pay $1300 since she’d basically be using 2 rooms. Utilities/internet would still be split 50/50.
But she thinks we should both just pay $975 each because we’re both living there equally.
Now I genuinely don’t know what’s fair anymore lol. On one hand she’s usually a super generous person and has treated me to food a ton before without expecting money back or keeping score. On the other hand, she is still getting more space overall.

So there’s a regular customer at my drive thru job who always lingers to make small talk when I’m at the window, whether I’m at the first window taking payment or the last one handing out orders. I noticed he leaves right away when I’m not there, so it seems intentional. This has been going on for a few months now.

Yesterday he tried to make small talk again but stumbled on his words, and as he drove away I caught him facepalming in his side mirror 😭 I couldn’t help but think, what if this could be something? Not necessarily a relationship right away, but even just a friendship or seeing where it goes.

My friend also pointed out he fits the description of every guy I’ve ever been with lmao. We mostly talk about the weather btw.

Should I slip him my number next time? Or is there a better way to handle this since he’s a regular and I don’t want it to be weird if things don’t work out? (Aka in case I read this whole situation wrong)
