A couple can become friends and roommates without any Real Chemistry.

How many people would be ok with it ? Who really knows til it happens to you!

Of course, you would have to be ok with Cohabitating.

Interesting topic toody.

I would only cohabitate if i had to because of circumstance.


What czn i say? I've never been able to play well with others.

Gotta have Chemistry.
I've cohabitated with 4 women(last becoming my wife) and there was chemistry in each.
Just met a lady on M2, we have chemistry and already are talking cohabitation. So for me, first chemistry then cohab.

Congrats on meeting a lady here Bob! Man you move fast !

Maybe she doesn't know yet.

No what? If she has chemistry ?

I was roommates with my ex husband before I left. Does that count?

I don’t see a problem with cohabitating with someone of the opposite sex as just roommates. If there’s no chemistry, there’s no problem.

Becoming friends or very special friends with someone is fine but cohabiting on a daily basis is a deal breaker! A couple times a week would be fine (done that), living together - not interested!!!

More than half couple get married without true love, just for setting up family and living together. I want to meet my true love, but I find it is real difficult, now I just want to meet someone just for living with.

That is not what I call dating.
That is having a roommate.
DATING to me, is the quest to find someone that is more than friends that there is a "chemistry" with.
The whole reason for dating is to find a lover, friend and confidant.


All LOVE is true love or it isn't actually love. Its something else.
Marriage for love doesn't actually work.
This is because we fall in and out of love with a person constantly.
Marriage REQUIRES Dedication and Commitment to the marriage and the other person. Love may be present but it isn't necessary at all times.
Co-habitation does not require dedication and commitment for it to work. It doesn't require love for it to work.
What it does require is respect for the other person and the ability to pay their bills on time.
All the qualities for successful co-habitation tend to exist in a successful marriage with the only difference being dedication and commitment to the person.

You can room with someone and not be dedicated or committed to that person.
You clean up after yourself, respect the roommate an pay your bills.
Part of respecting your roommate is showing tolerance and controlling yourself.

The problem, marriage or co-habitation, is when it is based on love or the expectation of love.
Love is something that can only be felt from within.
Falling in and out of love all the time is natural.
People tend to get messed up over it because they make love out to be something its not.

I agree some people fall in and out of love. Also people can cohabitate without being in love or have any commitment. They just respect each other as roommates. That seems to work for some people.
