Replies sweetlena Posted at 9:09 pm on May 25, 2008 Communicate. As in any relationship, living with someone requires a great deal of work. Communication is key in making the relationship work well long-term, or even for a short time. Be upfront about your expectations. Set boundaries and stick with them. This applies to food, clothes, possessions, loud activities, use of common areas, parties, quiet hours, cleaning responsibilities, and so on. mirandaxxrad Posted at 5:47 pm on May 23, 2008 how would you want your roommate to act when they first meet you. -not walking around like half naked -noy cursing nd swaring -just being themselves -not trying to impress anyone becuase your gonna be living with him, so hes obviously gonna find out who you actaully are JadedIcara Posted at 5:44 pm on May 23, 2008 If you have an overbearing personality or any weird quirks, try to downplay them until you can create a relationship with your roommate where that's a little more acceptable. Be clean, courteous, etc. JEWmander Posted at 5:43 pm on May 23, 2008 be yourself, dude. don't try to hard. greatescape Posted at 5:43 pm on May 23, 2008 Be yourself....but be outgoing.
