Make sure you take the lower bunk --;

hmm....man gay kid in a dorm...well as long as your not homosexually attractive I see no issue here. Its like living with a girl(or other ugly variations) you never want to have sex with right?

Just make sure you wrap the blankets around you extra tight.

In all seriousness this guy will probably have a lot of girl friends to hook you up with. (Best scenario)

Try to duplicate the movie Road Trip also.

That seems like a pretty good room mate to have, honestly. Gay guys always know lots of girls and they can give you style tips (if they're not a painfully flamboyant kind). It's not like he's going to try to rape you.

If he's a decent looking gay guy, he's going to have unbelievable hookups for girls.

having a gay roommate, is not even near the worst thing that could happen. Chances are he's a nice kid and you'll get along just fine.

Some worse possibilities:
1) crackhead
2) emo (cuts himself)
3) bipolar
4) gets piss drunk every night and pisses on the door, closet, and YOUR BED WITH YOU IN IT, often
5) will watch pr0n at high volume all day no matter what you are doing.
6) you get sexiled nightly b/c your roommate has orgies with grossly overweight women.

seriously, you'll be just fine. Acknowledge the fact that he's gay, sure, but just treat him normally.

He's going to be just as nervous as you coming in, worrying about whether or not everyone will accept him, especially you. Be accepting about the whole thing, make it kind of a joke, and you guys will probably get along great as long as he isn't a weirdo in other unforseen ways (or you are a weirdo...). The most important thing if not to act any differently to him or around him just because he is gay (for example don't make it super awkward to change in front of him or something).

You could put a plastic doll in your bed for the 1st night, see if he fucks it.

Whether or not he is gay doesn't say very much at all....most people assume that means he's flaming which isn't necessarily true.

Don't take this the wrong way but it reminds me of a story.....a friend of a friend had a gay roomate years ago in college...one day the guy is having unexplained problems with anal bleeding. Eventually he sets up a camera in his dorm secretly and discovers his roomate was drugging and raping him.

Probably won't happen to you though.

don't get all hung up trying to be politically correct and stuff talking to him. people easily sense these things and it can ruin a good friendship, which is a very nice thing ot have in a roommate.

though luck buddy

edit: i have just read the whole thread. I have to say that gay people arent sex-hungry people just lucking some male to fuck (at least the ones i know are "ok" persons). But yea, you might take advantage of his gayness for him to bring girls and convince them to have sex with you haha

1) How do you know he's gay?
2) You think that ANY gay guy is going to rape you? You think that you're that attractive to males?
3) Guy friends of mine have roomed with girls.. no sex took place.
4) Stop being homophobic.
5) You'll need him when you find you can't get girls in college.
6) You repay him with sex when you find you cannot survive college because you shouldn't have gotten in and you need him to do your homework.
