Is it okay to have a roommate of the opposite sex?

[sonic_fever]

Do you believe it’s possible to have a roommate of the opposite sex and just keep it as that? No romantic feelings or fooling around.
If you had or currently have a roommate of the opposite sex how does it affect your dating life?

I would never have dated any woman who actively lived with another man or men.

That is too close, familiar, hanging out all the time, watching tv together, eating meals together, seeing each other coming and going from the shower, the constant time spent together... etc.

Absolutely not.

I would advise against it for men. They can be trapped in a common law marriage or if they both had a drink too many and something happened he would be the one held responsible. Men should not co-habitat with women they aren't married to.

my roommate is my male best friend. We never had any problem neither developed crushes for eachother lmfao. Its like living with a second brother for me. Also i feel safer living with him rather than a girl.

[Smashingdoozy]

Yep. I've lived with a dude since I was 16 and then another dude moved in for a couple years. Nothing ever happened.

[RobT312]

Yup. I have in the past and it was fine. I dated and it wasn’t an issue.
there was a point over the year that she was single and I was single and we fucked around a few times. We were both horny and young

Not unless you are married to it... I probably couldn't resist it. I might even be a Daddy before the Lease ends... It would not be good for me, personally. Are you getting one?

[mandyfire98]

Sure, if you aren't attracted to a person it's not going to turn sexual anyway.

I knew someone who had 2 girls for roommates. That is all they were.

[Birdlegs]

I would prefer to honestly

[On_cloud_wine]

Not if we both like alcohol.

Of course
