Rooms and roommates

Day 4.

I don't have a girlfriend but I do have a roommate. She is from Italy and is terrific. Too terrific, in fact, because her boyfriend is so enamored of her that he asked her to move in with him. I, obviously, am not part of the plan. Moving appears to be in my immediate future even more so than it was previously.

What a disaster.

(20 minutes go by)

I just did a quick scan of craigslist for apartment shares and my options abound. Here's a sample:

-Live in a 2BR with one roommate and three cats. (Fluffy and friendly! You won't know that they're around! Really!)
-Live in a 2BR railroad-style with one 22 year-old roommate. (You have to walk through my room to get to yours but it's never been an issue with past roommates! Really!)
-Live in a 4 BR with 5 roommates, 2 couples, one single guy. 1 bathroom. (We're never all around at the same time! Really!)
-Live in a 2BR with a quiet, respectful female, no pets, no addictions and no crazy exes. Reasonable rent, terrible subway access but plenty of slow charm.

Which one should I call?

Sigh.

I have no girlfriend. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
