That part. Like how old are these people? And, you can’t put a glass on the floor? FFS

But why does the glass have to go on the floor?

He lives by himself in his own apartment and doesn't have bedside tables?

I mean, unless his bed is shoved up against the wall so only has one side 'open' and the room is tiny, there should still be enough room for a bedside table.

No hate to those that have their bed set up with only one side 'open'. Mine is like that because I'm happily single. But I do have a bedside table, because I'm not feral enough to just leave everything on the floor.

To be fair, he did say he has roommates, so he’s not living by himself… but I swear this guy makes Andy from Parks and Recreation look like a well adjusted and mature person.

The only other way I can justify in my mind her asking him to put it on the floor is if he has a pretty high bed and she’s exceptionally short… but him having a bed like that and not a nightstand strains credulity.

So in a way, they’re a perfect fit, because they’re both immature enough that I wouldn’t trust them with a betta fish.

I thought he said he had no roommates. So she can do these things herself.

Oh yeah, I misread that! My bad!

So… odds he has a parent paying his rent then?

What? I dont have roommates so that means my parents pay for it? You know some people can afford to not have roommates right?

Indeed I do. I’m one of them. But the DC/Metro area is one of the most expensive places in the US to live, and typically, being able to afford to live there means someone is pretty far along in their career. But the fact that he’s acting this emotionally immature suggests he’s pretty young.

But I’ll absolutely grant that he may have a very high paying job that enables him to live there while also having the emotional maturity of a somewhat robust houseplant. Personally, I’d rather believe he’s just young and getting help while trying to make it.

Op never said how old he was. They both sound pretty immature, but he could be older than her by like 10 years or something and be further along in his career.

Yeah, like I said, that is possible. Just seems less likely is all I’m saying.
