    Just move out and get a place of your own. Dammit, I'm ordering you to 
do that! (Just kidding!)  ;)

    Come on Andrew, get your act together.

Yeah. Inbetween her having to finish her PhD in the next 17 days and her 
employer who might be sending her to Japan on Thursday and she's going 
on holiday to somewhere else in a few weeks' time and...

Hey, maybe it'll wash some of the tissue dust off it...

I fail to see how getting a place of my own is going to help in any way, 
shape or form. (Never mind the minor detail that I already know I can't 
afford it...)

      Well, maybe she isn't the one for you then, but there's plenty more 
out there...

      Gah... <starts banging head against wall>. You are SO frustrating 
Andrew.  :o/

*sigh* Yeah, it seems she isn't. And that makes me very sad indeed. I 
was so hoping she would be... Now I've gone from "I might have a 
girlfriend in a few weeks" back to plain "I am hopelessly single", with 
no future in sight. Great.

There are plenty of *people* out there, some of whom are female, but it 
seems there are very few indeed who are suitable for me. I don't doubt 
they exist - just my ability to find them. :-(

Incidentally... that pain you're feeling in your head right now? I get 
that when I cough. Which I seem to be doing a lot right now...

    My friend, believe me when I tell you that my head hurts almost 
permanently now, and you wouldn't want what's producing it. Really.

Grown up women in the UK generally don't mind that their potential boyfriend 
live with his mother?

I'm curious. How can that be, when you have a job? Do you have some huge 
expenses or do you only work part-time or something?

Well, I'm 27, she's 25, not sure if that qualifies as "grown up".

Housing prices in the UK are currently astronomical. (But don't worry; 
the prices are going to start going down any minute now... OK, maybe in 
a minute or two... no, really, they can't just keep rising forever...)

Eh???

Are you sure if the Sun qualifies as "bright", or if the Atlantic Ocean 
qualifies as "deep"??  Helloo??!!  Yes Andrew, twenty-five is VERY grown up. 
Childhood and teenage are far gone for both of you.  Even she finished high 
school eight years ago, and could easily have taken a different path and 
have her own children by now.

Sometimes, you say things that are so gauche, they're unintentionally funny 
and child-like.  Unfortunately, that's because you've experienced nothing of 
the adult's world, and that's because you 're still at home, in your 
bedroom, being cared for by Mum.

Yes, buying is getting hard and harder.  I agree totally.  But that doesn't 
justify a strategy of "give up".  What happened to the job replacement 
search?  That story's gone quiet for a while.

You've got to do *something*!  Rent a room, live in a caravan, live in a 
tent, live in a hostel, share accomodation.  If you carry on with the "do 
nothing" option as it seems now, soon you will be 30 and still under Mum's 
care.  People will think you are one of those mentally retarded kids who 
HAVE TO be cared for by their parents after they're adults.

And doesn't your Mum deserve a break?  She's been a parent for a long time 
and surely while she's still young enough to enjoy it, she would like some 
of her old free life back that she used to have before the first baby came 
along...
