I'm kinda happy about what I just heard from the roommate, but cautious too. I believe the roommate wants to help me, but in the end I would think his allegiance would be to the guy I kinda like. He lives in his home, if the guy found out he talked negatively of him, he'd put him out, AND you guys should know that old saying, "bros before hoes". It's crass, but the guy I like is his friend too.
Still I have to hope that he would tell me the truth as a practicing Christian and because it's the right thing to do. He knows I'm asking because I want to avoid a relationship with an alcoholic. So there you have it guys...
