how hard is it to find a room in NYC (with girlfriend)

Planning to move to NYC this summer... with girlfriend from college.
Are people on craigslist who posted available rooms okay with couple living in one room?

Thanks!

I read your title and I thought you were asking if it was easy to find a room that came with a girlfriend. But, about your question I doubt many would have a problem with it, some might but most prob wont.

As long as you keep it down....haha ie. no banging on walls...etc.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 
new_eracome on your lame...just get a studio or come by yourself

what is lame about saving money and guaranteed sex?

  • haha now i re-read the title it sounds hilarious to me too.

  • yeah trying to save money here; currently she doesn't have a job lining up anywhere but she wants to stay with me as long as possible.

this is a problem.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 

I rented rooms to a few bankers over the summer. As a former manhattan landlord, couple responses to CL ads get tossed. Like poster said before, get a studio because couples get charged more and your search will be difficult.

Just look at your girlfriend as a degree from a non-target and trying to find a room like trying to find an IB job. Good luck.

 

There's a law in NYC that prevents people of the opposite sex from living together. You're also only aloud to fornicate for reproductive purposes. May the lord be with you.

Dude be wary of NYC people on craigslist. I rented an apt there using craigslist and the lady was a freak show (then again half of manhattan is a freak show, I got love for the outer boroughs tho).

Still craigslist is your best option. I would just carefully screen who you rent from, and go with the safer option even if you pay a bit more. Meet them in person before hand, visit the apt beforehand, sign a sublease contract (and get it notarized, or notorized (in bk, especially bedstuy)), etc etc... can never be too careful.

If you have the cash, use a broker. You'll be safe(r). FYI I paid like $1600/mo for mine in summer of 09 (studio in the upper west side). Now the prices have probably gone up.

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.

As long as Moody's rates her blowjobs at A or higher, I wouldn't worry about it.

Actually, a stage 5 clinger is a girl who thinks she's in love with you after you take her virginity. The 5 is not a rating on an incremental scale, but rather a double entendre on the letter 'V,' both the roman numeral for 5 and a shorthand slang term to abbreviate one's virginity.

From the evidence presented by the OP, one does not have enough information to decide whether the girl in question is in fact a stage 5 clinger.

So you have a summer internship and she wants to come up with you? That sucks, you will definitely be that guy. I interned at an asset manager w/ 10 others in my group; we had "that guy" who's girlfriend would come in every weekend. He was the target of constant scrutiny and harassment.
