Oh yes, that's a very good point, Baelor. My mother always taught me throughout my childhood to not talk about parties in front of other friends who aren't invited. Just plain bad manners.

My mom also told me about this one girl she knew in high school, who walked around saying "I can't be nice to everyone, because they'd all want to be my friend." Ring any bells around here?

Hey OP, people like you sicken me. You're just cruel, nothing more to it. The way you described it, it seems as if your roommate was lead on to believe that she was happily accepted to join you and your plastics on Halloween. Yet, you don't want her there. Let her come along and be nice to her, don't be such a *****. College is supposed to be about getting along and having a good time, and if you don't, don't be mean.

A quick peek at OP's previous posts shows that the roommate is international. This would explain a lot if the roommate doesn't pick up hints - these 'hints' are hard for anyone.

I hope OP reads this thread and realized lots of people would be horrified by her attitude and not supportive of this type of immaturity. Plenty of good advice on this thread for OP - best is - be honest but tactful and kind about it.

Hope the roommate had a good (perhaps first) Halloween and wasn't bothered by too many witches!

I wish I could be friends with the roomate myself. She sounds like a nice girl. I can sympathize with her, much more than I can sympathize with the OP.

Well I guess it's understandable that she doesn't like her roommate *shrugs* we can't make her like her roomie. I don't know, I figure people figure it out sooner or later ROFL.

my mom already told me that she CANNOT come.

she is so bad even my mom doesn't like her and she met her once for like five seconds.
Does anyone know what city these two girls are in?

It's not necessarily horrible of her to not like her roomie, but to pretend that she does, give her mixed signals, and talk smack behind her back just because the roomie wants to be friends?

^she posted in UT Austin forums so probably Austin. LOL
Seriously, it's ok you don't like her, just let her know you don't like her I guess instead of stringing her along/being fake nice

I agree that it's ok you don't like her, but you shouldn't be an a--hole to her either - why not try introducing her to some acquaintances who you think might be her type? Just don't be too obvious about it.
