How can college roommates help you with dating

Roommates are something that everyone has to experience in college and they can be annoying in deed.  Who wants to room with people that you have never meet before?  That is a lot of stress.

Roommates are a great educational experience and it may help you later in life, such as in marriage.  I think divorce rates will drop a lot if you have experience with roommates because you will know what you want in a wife or husband.  You won't care for the physical attraction as much as the other dynamics, such as if the person cleans up, easy to get along with, etc.

I think I am getting a better idea of what I want in a girl by just dealing with roommates.  I probably want a girl that is clean and I probably want a girl that is easy to talk to; sort of compassionate and easygoing.  I don't want too many self centered girls and I don't want girls that tend to be cliquey, since I had roommates that have been cliquey.  Physical attraction is not as important, because there is beauty in all types of girls - beauty is just perception and makeup.

I tend to be conservative and family orientated that wants children so I would rather find a more conservative and family orientated girl - not as party minded and more into what girls are supposed to do.  I have been told that more traditional girls are looking for the paycheck in guys and that is all is matter.  They want the guy to be a more fatherly figure who can support the wife and children; so a more authoritative confident guy is what all girls want these days.

I think girls had liked me for a long time, but I was looking for the wrong type of girls.  I think I need to brush up on the social cues and quit gawking over the obvious looking ones for physical attraction and be more attractive to the girls like I am choosing a roommate.  I think I "dated" a girl this year for about a week  or so; I was even holding hands, but this girl was realizing the differences and she found someone else.  But who I was holding hands with was a good template for the girls that are going to go after me in the future.  I was just nice to that girl by carrying a box for her when she moved in, which made a great first impression.  That time was a very magical week and it was sort of a "high" for me before things started to fall apart again.  But I can see this "high" is going to come back and I am going to have a chance with another girl.

Since I am more conservative I think I need to be more practical and less picky about my choosing with women.  Physical attraction is animal like and there is something more.  A lot of the physical attractive girls will have an attitude and they could be a "bitch".  I should try to find something more earthy and practical such as if the girl is nice, clean, and likes kids.
