Would you share with a random bloke to avoid booking two rooms?

[ClinicallyProven]

I'm going away with a hobby group. Usually those of us who are single seem to be able to work things out and share with the same sex. This time a smaller group is going and there's only me and him who won't be taking partners. He's with a very long term partner who doesn't like to attend these things and I'm single.

I've known him for a long time in this group and have always found him lovely and respectful, both to me and about his partner. I wouldn't say I know him well or even that we're friends though. We have been drunk together (which I always think is a good test 😆) and still he's nothing but respectful.

Anyway, it's been suggested (not by either of us!) that we could share. I think I'm comfortable to share with him for a couple of nights, but I'm not sure how it looks or whether it puts his DP in an uncomfortable position.

FWIW it saves us each about £120, which is a significant sum to me, but wouldn't mean I couldn't go. It is frustrating how everything costs more when you're single though!

He might hate the idea, I'm just mulling it over at this stage.

Hysterical replies. Personally probably not due to I wouldn’t share with anyone given the choice but equally it’s not a great danger either.

FWIW the hobby group I’m in a female friend once shared a room with a male and made it to the next morning with no problems 🤔

It's a no from me too op.

For me it's not a man/woman issue it's the basic idea I don't want to share a bed with someone. It's bad enough with DH but having someone else there farting and snoring is just not on.

it’s a twin room surely?

No. The only male I would ever share with apart from DH or DS is my brother.

Twin bedded room, yes, possibly have shared with mixed sex train carriages going to South of France from Europe, BUT there are 6 in a compartment, so less likely for shenanigans to occur.

Not only did I share a room with a bloke but it was in a house with 4 other blokes and only one bathroom

No gossip afterwards afaik

The hobby in my case was climbing - these are all guys I have trusted my life with , and guys who trusted me the same

No the sex fairies don't make things happen, but alcohol- OP has already said she has been drunk in the company of the guy before - may well do.
Chances are that nothing will happen and I'm as tight as they come so it would be mighty tempting to save that £120, but I think it's one of those situations you're instinctively comfortable with or not, and I wouldn't be comfortable with it.

Male who isn't a v close friend snoring, farting waking up to see a morning erection and the covers slipped. It's a no from me...

Not a chance

🤣

Nope...no no no...

So most people think a man and woman can't share a room without anything happening?

I would have no problem sharing with a male friend unless it made their partner uncomfortable. A random guy, not a chance but I wouldn't share with a random woman either.

No chance!

No

That would be inappropriate for anyone with a partner, and frankly, still odd if neither of you did.

Never, no way, nope 👎

I think they can share and just sleep. I just don't want to share (irrespective of their sex/gemder)

Even without the partner issue it would be a firm no from me but I do like my own space. There's no way if he able to relax enough if I was sharing with him.

Not in a month of Sundays.

No

My dh goes to a hobby thing that I don't share any kind of interest in and I wouldn't be ok with it. He wouldn't want to either, things like having an hour in toilet farting and shitting, he tends to sleep naked if he gets drunk and he'd be up and down all night pissing like a camel and scratching his balls if he had more than three pints.

yes if he was single. Not if he has a partner.

There is no way I would share a room with a man unless I was in a relationship with them or had given birth to them.
A man you only know socially may best case snore or fart all night or leave the bathroom smelly or worse, worse case it may be a closet sex offender.

Absolutely not, and there's no way I'd agree to DH doing this. He would say exactly the same.

Some people are quite naive.

Most affairs happen through proximity. Sharing a room with someone of the opposite sex ( assuming of course you are heterosexual) when you're in a relationship, seems to be tempting fate rather.

Add alcohol to the mix and well yes, I'd say there is a good chance something would happen in that hotel room.

It's nothing to do with males and females not being able to be friends. I have male friends but I'd never share a room with them, based on the fact when younger at university the two times I did do it both blokes ( who I assumed were platonic friends) tried to make a move.
