How to Date Your Friend's Roommate

One of the most exciting times is when one of your friends gets a new roommate. It's a chance to meet somebody new, and it's an easy way to possibly meet somebody to date. Read on to learn how to date your friend's roommate.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• A friend with a roommate you'd like to date

1. Consider your relationship with the friend. Is it solid or is it dicey? If it's solid, then you shouldn't worry about asking the roommate out. If it's dicey, you might want to be careful.
2. Make sure you like this person before you ask them out. This is the advantage to this situation because you get to hang with the person a bunch before you start to date.
3. If you decide that you like the person enough to ask out, then make sure you ask the friend first. It's common courtesy, and also they might be able to help.
4. Don't flaunt your relationship in front of your friend. Act like you did when you guys were just hanging out before you started dating. The last thing you need is an annoyed friend who lives with the person you are dating, because they can easily take you down.
5. If you must break up, no matter how hard it might be, try to do it as nice as possible. Try to stay friends after, or at least let the person know you want to be friends. You don't want to create an ugly situation. Also, give it time before you come over and visit, but not too much time. You still want to establish that it's fine for you to come over and hang out without it being awkward.

Tips & Warnings

• Treat the person just a little better than you would normally treat a date.
• Don't brag about the person to your friend.
