As y'all know, I have been looking to fill a room in my apartment, as one of my two roommates is leaving.
After getting very little response to my ad, I showed the apartment over the last few days to four prospectives.
The first guy was pretty much a tool. I don't need to elaborate, but suffice it to say that of the four, he is my fourth choice.
Second guy was pretty cool, but seemed a bit intense, was not sure how long he is going to be living in KW, but thinks it will be a while, and has yet to get me the three personal references I asked him for....twice. Not a good sign in my book.
Number three was a pretty laidback, cool dude, and his references were glowing. Yeah, I know, you'd be an idiot to provide references that weren't great, but everything seemed pretty on point about this guy.
Number four was a very stable, really cool chick, and her references were equally glowing. One was actually the ex-boyfriend whose place she is moving out of....if you get a glowing reference from your EX, how cool must you be?
So I am trying to decide between Number Three and Number Four, and basically they are tied. Each has one completely irrelevant factor in their favor. My friend Little Red wants me to choose Three, because I told her he would be a great guy for her to meet, and is her type. I found Four to be rather attractive myself.
But of course neither of those factors has any bearing on this decision, which is in essence a business decision, and must be treated as such. Mr. Anti-Social could give two shits, as long as they are stable, have steady jobs, and pay their shit on time. Both Three and Four give off that very vibe.
I called them both tonight, both times getting their voice mail, and basically told them that, if they were interested, it was down to the two of them. Obviously if one has procured another residence, it would make things easier.
Barring that, though, I still have to make a decision. If anyone has any suggestions on how I go about doing this, feel free to throw it my way.
Knowing my luck, though, both of them have found other places, leaving me with a guy who still has not provided me the requested references, and a tool.
