If somebody sent me a text like that, THEN 2 days later sent a text asking "what should me name our new cat".... I'd show up at the house with a police escort to get my stuff and I'd move to another state. Unfortunately texts don't translate stuff like sarcasm/jokes/fun very well. They are always translated by the mind of the reader, NOT the writer. The sooner humanity learns this the better. I didn't ask that question. And it's ongoing joke I name the local cats.

I wouldn't have kept texting her after the initial text. It's best to let's things play out on their own, really. Pretty much this. I know you meant well, but it's best to leave well enough alone for now and take it one day at a time. I can't imagine how it must be living under the same roof as her and having those feelings.

An uncomfortable truth may be that the best thing is for her to move out. It's not like it would be impossible for her to ever return your feelings (although I think there's a better chance of that if she didn't live with you) I just don't think you'd be satisfied 'simply' being her roommate or her jilted/unrequited-feelings friend.
So saying if she wants to move out soon after New Years just remember to look on the bright side of things and don't feel glum, chum.

Kick her out the house, OP. There's only room for you and the cat now.

Look, there's a simple fix to this.
When she gets home, say the following:
"Hey, roomate. I know while you were out I asked you out via text and not in person, and I can tell your not interested. I'm okay with this. I like you as a person and think you're a real bang up roommate. There are no hard feelings on my end, and I'd like to keep this living situation going, but honestly if it's gonna be weird for you, let me know, and we'll arrange other things. I can assure you that I am capable of letting sleeping dogs lie, ie, I understand you are not interested, and I am able to accept that like a mature, rational adult, but still value you as a friend/roommate."
Then walk away and let her ruminate on that for a while. If she's not down, she will make that known. If she's cool with it, she will let it die and things will go back to normal. Don't be afraid of the awkward, embrace it and use it as an opportunity to earn her trust back.

What the hell is wrong with you for presenting it??!!

The real truth is I've been telling your roommate a bunch of made-up lies about you in order to make sure you're unsuccessful. Then you'll become so desperately unhappy and lonely you'll turn to anything for some sort of connection. My first post telling you not to go for it? That was just to throw you off the scent. That connection is me. Together, we can truly be the Rik Mayall guys and take over this God-forsaken hellhole. What do you say, chum?

Hey man I'm not going to lie, texting was not the best way to do this, but fair play for taking the shot. If this does not end up with the two of you going out you will feel terrible and like a fool for awhile, but that's normal, in the long run you will be delighted you took the shot. At least you will know and wont live your life wondering. You had the balls the go for it.
