Is it wrong to be shacked up with a woman just largely for the economics?

[Anonymous]

Now I know what a lot of knee-jerk responses from women will be. I'm sponging off her. I'm not, we split everything. And I genuinely like her, but only as a friend. I prefer this to living alone, and it's more affordable with two people. I'm OK with an occasional cuddle but that's about as far as I want to go with her because I feel it promotes the wrong message. We're roommates, who happen to get along well and I genuinely like her. But how can I be certain she's feeling the same. At times she seems like she's angling for more.

Considering the price of rents these days, it is more than acceptable.

If you aren't honest about your intentions, it's unfair and misleading to her.

I mean as long as u treat her right

Absolutely, I treat her right. My momma raised a gentleman. But like I say, sometimes I feel she's angling for more affection, and I'm just her friend. I care about her feelings as I would any friend. I just want to make sure things stay where they're at. That they don't go any further. I know you can't control another person's feelings but I also don't want to send the wrong message by returning too much affection.
