Don't ask her if she takes it up the wrong 'un.
Its OK if you loudly announce "-HOUSE MEETING-" before asking the question.She will be blinded by the officiality and be forced to reply honestly. In which case expect to hear, "...on occasion, it depends on the state of my haemorrhoids."

Don't come back here moaning that you failed to get into her knickers and can't stand the sound of her getting pummelled by other blokes next to your bedroom and need to find ways getting her to move out.
pffft, already put a rule in saying no blokes allowed back.Sleepovers with her model mates are fine though, pillow fights are compulsory
How on earth did you get her to pose in undies leaning into a fridge and have her picture taken??
d! 
Ok guys, bit of an update of the things that I've learnt from the first 24 hours of living with a female:
1) Women love food shopping. Unlike me who generally only gets excited by shopping when it's got 4 wheels or is a shiny, they seem to really like shopping for food. I didn't realise how expensive asparagus was!
2) While women will bang on about healthy eating, if it's a Sunday evening and they can't be bothered to cook then they will happily get dominos pizza.
3) Women under 23 are constantly on their blackberry.
4) Blokes say the most stupid things when trying to chat up a girl. One guy last night offered to buy her a rabbit (and there wasn't one bit of innuendo implied) when she gets her own place.
I'll keep you updated but all is well so far. I have a healthy supply of toilet roll and she now has her own shelf in the fridge.

As housemate you may also find yourself in the role of rescue team. When house sharing my male housemate and myself would often be called upon to rescue our shapely blonde female housemate from attempted chatups that she didn't quite have the heart to tell to ps off 
That and carying her home occasionally when she'd forgotten than alcohol, tall heels and walking really don't mix 
Might have to deal with a woman in the flat soon. Some of this is handy, especially the bin. I never would have thought of that.
Slightly related question:
The girl in question is current flatmates GF. No doubt she will agree to split bills and rent with him.
So they each pay 1/4 of rent and bills and I pay 1/2.
Am I insane in thinking that this is not a fair way of doing it? The common area will now be used by 3 people, the shower by 3, etc.
I think it would only be fair that the bills (at least) be split between 3.
tl;dr I'm being jewish. How jewish is acceptable.

Talk it over now though rather than after she's there.

No it feels unfair, bit like going out with married friends as a single and they expect you to pay every other round of drinks. Bit of reduction for them sharing one bedroom perhaps? 40% You and two x 30% perhaps?Slightly related question:

Don't hide your crusty wk sock in her handbag. Even the wife doesn't like it when I do this. She also doesn't seem to like it when I crack one off into her face whilst she's asleep. Nor do they like it when wk off into a clean pair of their pants, before folding it back up neatly and placing it back into the drawer. 
I've have also learnt over the years that having a huge poo in the toilet and shouting excitably "Sharon! Sharon! Sharon!" untill your wife / girlfriend / housemate comes along to see you trousers round ankles in the toilet, expecting her to share your enthusiasm and take a look at the huge monster log that you have just given birth to, tends not to go down too well.
Personally I think that women on the whole are a little bit too touchy.

I find taking a picture on my phone and emailing it avoids the shourting and you can save it for friends to see too.Personally I think that women on the whole are a little bit too touchy.

You will become a 2nd class citizen in yourown home and the flat gooseberry.
Every decision will become her decision, and no, she wont pay her way...
Having her stay over is one thing, but moving in... big mistake...
Do not shag her, I have done this with *an undisclosed number* of female housemates, and it has never gone well.
On the other hand, do build a social life with her. It will lead you to her friends, who are Grade-A fair game. Unless you've bonked her first, in which case you've messed that avenue up completely.

I once lived with a couple. NEVER AGAIN! And what is worse, is that she didn't have any friends(fit or even 10 pinters) so, my mate basicially became her wee pet and was never out with the lads.
Why does a guy become a faggot when he gets a girlfriend?

Heh. I know her pretty well as a friend, not just as his GF and she's not a prissy bish in any way.
I like her, I just don't want to pay for her to live in my flat
Was a bit odd when she was talking to one of her friends and she said "And then I think I'm moving in with Tim for a month or two".. It got a "Are you?" from me. Lol.
Nice of him to consult me before hand, I thought.
She does pretty much whatever my flatmate says anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem.
As long as it's only a few months.
I'm thinking at the moment:
Rent = 40%, 30%, 30%
Bills = 33% each.
Seems fair to me.

If you must, that sounds fair to me. I would however, put a clause in that she has to keep the house spotless.I like her, I just don't want to pay for her to live in my flat
