Hi folks, I was inspired by the topic on someone's living with his/her parent(s) to question how having a roommate is viewed and handled in the dating world. Any thoughts? Thanks!

It depends. I don't have a roommate but I share my apartment with my sister. The last guy I met on EH left me because when he came over to my apartment for diner, he met my sister because she was homeand he says it scared him. It made him feel like I was rushing things. He knew that I stay with my sister and I offered to cook him diner, he is the one who reminded me about his diner..............sometimes it works I guess, it didn't work for me.

It depends on who the roommate is (hint: ex-SO is a BAAAAAAAD sign), what the relationship is between the two of them, and why they're living with someone else. Who and why a person is living with someone tells A LOT about them.

Not an issue for me, but maybe I'm biased: I have one currently. As a student it's the best option. I wouldn't be opposed once I'm done here, though, and living alone. The reason and the person (parent? someone random? long-time friend?) are more important.

everyone has a story, having a roommate is part of that story. there are very few single issues that I would reject someone for. Having a roommate, or even living with their parents aren't one of those issues. There's always a context.

I think a lot has to do with where you live as well. Living in Boston, it's very hard to not have a roommate unless you want to live in a shoebox.
