\n

After months and months of hunting every inch of London for the perfect place, you arrive in your new flat only to discover the stranger behind that quirky room ad is HOT. Jackpot! The temptation is obvious – guilt free, on tap lovin\u2019 right on your doorstep. But before you get naked and jump on in this Valentine\u2019s Day, acasa<\/a>, creators of a free app for housemates and certified experts on the trials and tribulations of flatsharing, are about to tell you why dating your housemate is ALWAYS a bad idea.<\/p>\n

1. PDA<\/b><\/p>\n

It stands for Public Display of Affection and it makes everyone else in the house gag. Even if they seem cool with it at first (they\u2019re not), the \u201ccute\u201d hand holding always spirals out of control. We all know a couple who just can\u2019t keep their hands to themselves – by the front door, in the living room, in the – did you know we eat in there? – kitchen, outside in front of the poor neighbours. You get the idea. No? Then it\u2019s probably you making everybody cringe.<\/p>\n

2. Arguments (think of the children!)<\/b><\/p>\n

The honeymoon period is over and you\u2019re having your first lovers\u2019 tiff, in full display of your terrified housemates. Do they have to pick a side? Or do they just scurry away into their rooms and avoid eye contact with both of you for weeks? Yeah. Dating your housemate is fun.<\/p>\n

3. Sex. Loud, annoying sex.<\/b><\/p>\n

We all love a little bit of naughty time. But there won\u2019t be the \u2018your place or mine?\u2019 question because you\u2019re living together, under the same roof, probably no more than three metres apart at any given moment (thanks Landlord). Okay, you still have the dilemma of the \u2018your room or my room or the kitchen table?\u2019 question, but that\u2019s as far away as it\u2019s going to get. Oh, and that\u2019s not even mentioning the paper thin walls \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

4. Privacy, darling<\/b><\/p>\n

Every once in a while, we all need a space of our own – a place to hide away and watch Netflix for days on end. How will you feel when this space is invaded by a needy, clingy housemate who pops up in your face every 5 minutes? After a couple of weeks, literally NOTHING will be left to the imagination. And let\u2019s not not even mention the shared bathroom (ew).<\/p>\n

5. Let\u2019s play the (un)happily married couple<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s great living together right? You cook, I\u2019ll take care of the cleaning. Easy. Until one of you starts leaving the dishes in the sink, or not replacing the milk. Suddenly you\u2019ve aged 20 years overnight and your weekends are now all about finishing your list of chores so you can escape the endless nagging. You don\u2019t even remember your other housemates\u2019 names (and why can\u2019t we just throw them out of OUR house?!)<\/p>\n

6. The break up (yes it\u2019s going to happen!)<\/b><\/p>\n

Imagine the two of you breaking up but still having to live under the same roof. Do you honestly think you can live together again in harmony like before? What about the first time one of you brings back a hottie from a night out? Oh the irony, oh the jealousy. Did we mention, your walls may be thin? imagine if you lived next door to each other\u2019s room and you hear a little creek in the middle of the night.. and you\u2019re all alone.. what else is there to do?<\/p>\n
