Would you ever date someone who lives in your building?

Question

razelove · Accepted Answer

No, granted I've only ever lived in one apartment complex that had more than 4 units. I did sleep with my next door neighbor before and that was a mistake. There just isn't any getting away until one party moves.

Turned out she had a growing problem with the pills as well, so getting a knock on the door at 2 AM from someone horny and nodding out was super pleasant. Also having to draw down on one of her junky friends because I thought he was trying to steal my car, but honestly thought it was a silver SUV (honda accord, blue), he got into his car with some tender guidance and ran straight into a light post down the road.

Anyway, lesson learned, don't date neighbors, don't date co-workers.

I don't see why not, movies and tv shows totally have that as romance

btbc92 · Accepted Answer

No. That is a means for a disaster and problems. That is very scary and not something I want to deal with. They tend to not work out. It is no different than being at school, work, etc. You're TOO CLOSE. And that can tear you apart. It's supposed to be your own space. Not a room within a building.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Accepted Answer

Well currently live in a house so N/A but if I did liver in an apartment building, that's doubtful. They'd have to live on another floor or way across a big building...

Account · Answer

Probably not since it would bit me in the ass if we broke up. My last relationship taught me that people can be quite stalker-ish.

flamiE · Answer

Yessss. I’ll be dropping them food and it’ll be still hot, no need to reheat. Dates would be wayyy easier. I can be horny and be taken care of within minutes. An absolute dream 😁 it’s like living together but without having to deal with all the stress that comes with living with someone without knowing them well. Also it’d be easier to move in with them 😁 just YES YES YES.

menina · Answer

NO, NO and NO. If we are considering the building where I live now, I certainly wouldn't date someone who lives here.
However, if we are talking about another building, in a decent country I still wouldn't date them. We would be too close and when we broke up I would have to see my ex everyday and of course that wouldn't be good.

lilyanony1 · Answer

In the current building I live in. Hell no!
They are all in a relationship.
Now since I'm the only single female in the building with a job. That's a no. The one guy that lives alone pays for services according to rumour from the woman that lives on the ground floor, her partner is supposedly her pimp as men come in and out of her property in frequently.
I didn't live In the ghetto until they moved in and its completely changed the vibe here.

Kabluie · Answer

I've done it. I was junior in college and there was this new grad student that lived across from me. I remember how attracted I was when I first saw her, blonde and freckles. I think we first met in passing seeing each other come home. One weekend I decided to knock on her door to get to know her better.

She did not let me in her apartment, we just hung out and talked in the doorway for probably an hour or so. I didn't think too much of but it turned out we had fun things in-common and I made subtle hints of us going out later. It did work, we went to food and clubbing next week, and this time I let her into my bed for sex. She was a darling, it kind of happened fast but the convenience of living across from each other was fun, we'd have dinner together every few nights with each other's roommates, played games, went out together and such.

Bellatris · Answer

Wouldn't that be the best type of person to date, because you would have both your own personal space still, but you'd still be able to see each other whenever you desired each other's company? I think it would be an ideal situation.

modelUN242 · Answer

I live with my family so umm, in my neighborhood? Probably... but I'm already dating someone now.

However, I always had this fantasy if I lived in a condo or apartment, and the guy next door would strike up a conversation loll.

MsTaniaUncensored · Answer

Good question!  I don't know. Depends on how much I love it there. It would be a bit weird to have very little distance in a new relationship. I would have to be super into him for that to be a thing.

Paolaa988 · Answer

Haha coach T I wish I had a cute boy 18-20 who lives near me. Thanks a lot for making me wish🥲. Yes I would as long as we keep it on the down low because some people in the neighborhood can’t be trusted.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

There me and the neighbours cat..

sorry there’s just me, the cat just read this question, gave me the fingers and left through the window.

looks like it’s not the dating type, I have that affect on pussy.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

Oooh 😮. Wow, that’s a tough one. I mean it could me the love of your life, but if it ends badly… your kinda stuck with eachother! That really is a tough one!

DizzyDesii · Answer

Thats ideal honestly. I want to live near eachother but not together until we’re at least engaged. So this would be super perfect cause we still get our own space yet are so close to one another

BillHe1 · Answer

Probably not. It might be fun for awhile, your apt? or mine?  But if there were others recently dated that you each might have seen coming and going; if might be hard to work into a new relationship.

FreyaRed · Answer

No. It's the same reason why I wouldn't date anyone from my work. If it doesn't work out, seeing that person often wouldn't be a pleasure

she_asks_and_answers · Answer

I wouldn’t mind. Just we have to agree not to make things weird if we ever broke up.

CurlyGirl42 · Answer

No, been there done that. Ended with me moving and I hate moving xD

Jamie05rhs · Answer

That's a very interesting question! I met a girl once who lived at my apartment complex (but in a different building). She seemed nice and friendly, and she said that she hoped she would see me around. But I never saw her again after that. But it was my fault because I never came "around.". I just stayed in my apartment the whole time. I guess I'm just too shy.

SphynxUK · Answer

I live in a house. But I did say no to a guy that lived in the flat next to mine. 😅

devilish-cutie · Answer

Ofc, location where they live isn't a dealbreaker lol Not even if its ltr

Synikal · Answer

Yea. Dated women who lived on the other side of the town or further. Saves gas. Easier to surprise with gifts. There when needed. When I get bored working at home I can go elsewhere to terrorize someone else.

ShortCircuit · Answer

Sure, why not? Even if we broke up, it wouldn't really matter because it's very rare to interact with other people that live in the same apartment building.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I'm renting a semi-detached house.
That makes things a little... 'complicated' :)

Basically, I see nothing speaking against it, but I'd make sure that it would have a very serious 'relationship' in mind.

ladsin · Answer

In my home? I would hope. The hell else are they doing there? lol if I lived in a apartment building I don’t think it would effect me pro or con

Shark_61695 · Answer

If I lived in an apartment building then it wouldn't be a significant issue.

Avicenna · Answer

I actually did this once when I was in the military, but since we were in a training environment, we could not have sex in each other’s room and had robust other people’s places

Dsg1193 · Answer

Same applies to dating someone you work with, don’t shit where you eat

jasco · Answer

Don't see why not other than the fact that if we break up it be awdward

Lliam · Answer

Absolutely. You can run into more complications dating someone you work with, but even that is totally doable.

MCheetah · Answer

Sure. My apartment has 14 floors and 288 units. Dating someone who just lives downstairs means better opportunity for sex or hanging out.

Hidden_P · Answer

No. I live in a detached house with my dad. I don’t fancy dating him.

TallAnon · Answer

Sure, easy to meet up. When I lived abroad at some point the company I worked for would just recommend everyone the same building, pretty nice to live close to people "See you downstairs in 10?" - Done.

ClemFandango · Answer

I live in a building with 80 odd apartments. I say yes... so long as they aren't your neighbour!

BCRanger10 · Answer

I live with my wife. Things seem to be going decently 😆

No because I don't date myself and I'm the only one who lives in my building.

Browneye57 · Answer

Sure. Maybe one day you can let one of the units go... This is the least of your worries.

msc545 · Answer

I once dated a neighbor who lived across the street from me if that counts. It actually worked out fairly well for a while.

purplepoppy · Answer

You mean like family? Hell no that's just creepy.

RationalMale · Answer

Why not. People leave and move all the time, worst case scenario.

clampfan101 · Answer

I’ve never lived in an apartment, but if I did I don’t know why I wouldn’t try.

Silver158 · Answer

_SillyShoes_ · Answer

I would definitely try to avoid that.

InferiorElegy · Answer

I live alone in my own house so I'd have to say no, as others is no one to date.
