    As she's already quite delicate, I don't want to upset her by being honest with her (I would be worried what it might to do her) so I am thinking of using the "my brother is moving in" line.
    The truth may get you sued.

    Your "brother moving in" won't.

    The shyness and non-socialising id get over...

    The messiness. I wouldnt

    Summary: She has to go. Tell her she needs to be cleaner or GTFO and dont mince your words. It'll probably lead her to move and perhaps be a bit "quick and dirty" as solutions go, but in long run you dont wanna be around messy selfish introvert people.

    OP - as a matter of interest, does she have a job? Do her family ever visit or call her?

    Yeah, she has a job. As far as I can tell, she is doing quite well in work. I would imagine she is the quiet/hard-working type.

    How do I know she doesn't use boards? Well, she might, but she doesn't really use the internet.

    Where did I say everyone in the IT industry is weird?

    Are you trying to say IT isn't known for its weirdos...? If that's the case, I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with you!

    If she is as reclusive as you say, how do you know what she's doing in her room (or in her work)?

    :confused:

    1. The internet might be down for days, and she won't notice.
    2. She had a job before she moved in, and she still has a job. Leaves same time in the morning, comes home same time in the evening.

    Can I ask what you're trying to get at...?

    I know AARRRGH, met the girl once or twice...


    She's always in her room...

    There is no perfect house mate but surely this is very OTT, people ask housemates to move for silly reasons but this one isn't

    Could she be surfing from there?

    Maybe she doesn't notice because she has her own 3G datacard? Or maybe she chooses not to raise the issue and just wait for it to return?

    Yeah, I don't care if she reads this thread. Certainly if she has read it, it has made no difference!

    EDIT: Well, I'd rather she didn't, as it might upset her, but based on my knowledge of her I think it is very unlikely she will stumble across it and put 2 and 2 together.

    Exactly! I work in IT and have worked with many people (mostly male) who would be on the asperger's spectrum or just extremely socially retarded.

    I'd agree with the OP, why should he not live with someone who he gets on with? Sounds like it would would be better him and her if she moved. It may be the kick she needs to re-engage with life. Plus there's a chance that she may hit it off with the next person she lives with (esp if it's another girl).

    I know that she may wish to live this way, but the OP doesn't have to be a martyr to this.

    I would also agree with giving her lots of notice – if she's fragile it may take her a while to get her sh!t together.

    So let's this straight!

    All this time later she is still in your house!!

    I think she avoids you because she is frightened you will ultimately reject her because of her shyness, introversion and quite living.

    I mean she can hardly sit down on a Monday evening and talk about that weekend with the girls shopping in London now can she.

    Maybe, but I think it's more than that. She avoids the world!

    If someone is shy, introverted and quiet, and wants to avoid people who aren't like that, she should probably live on her own. :)

    No, but she should be able to come out of her room and do some housework (e.g. wash her dishes) and be somewhat friendly, you know, sit down and have a chat every now and then.
