Craigslist roommate, should girls ever live with guys?

I had a female roommate before, but we had separate bathrooms and didn't spend much time together since we both worked full-time and she had a boyfriend. There wasn't even any furniture or TV set in the living room. She told me she thought her former roommate, who was a guy, wanted to hit on her, but he was apparently well-behaved because they were friendly after he moved out.

If you don't have a boyfriend and are reasonably attractive, don't be surprised if he wants to hit on you. Even if you do have a boyfriend, don't be surprised although a normal guy can be a well-behaved roommate even if he's interested.

Come to think of it the worst experience I had was with a female roommate. Mature men are generally cognizant of the fact that having a casual relationship more often then not detrimental. Perhaps that would be something to look for.

My female roommates have loved to gossip...I don't like that.

I really do not trust craigslist for finding room mates whether it be female room mates like myself or guys which would be room mates of the opposite sex for me because I am a girl because most responders are scammers on craigslist. I am currently living with my parents and I am a 36 year old mildly retarded woman and also developmentally delayed. I also have autism which is asbergurgers syndrome. I posted a room mate ad on craigslist and had it running in September and October 2014. I had to people that said there father was paying there bills and they sent me a check for all the utilities, rent and money to have their car shipped. My sister in law researched it online and said the room mate scam has been going on since 2012. My mother shredded the checks. I am better off having my friend as a room mate and asking people at my adult day care center or day program to be my room mate.

I would do the background check, ask and verify at least 3 to 4 "real" references... A lot of good people also utilize this service for advertising Good luck.

True. I answered a roommate ad in a metro newspaper when I first moved there. I'm a guy and the roommate was female, so I wasn't too concerned for my safety. It turned out she was violent toward her boyfriend, and had something on her record for it, and threatened to go after my parents if I were late on rent. And she was very nice when we first met. I had some premonitions and didn't call her back, but then she later called me and asked me to move in.

The first warning sign was when I was moving my stuff into her apartment, she got mad at me for something harmless I said. I finally moved out when she came home from work early and verbally abused me because my car was parked in her spot, to the effect that it was on purpose on my part. She had previously said I could park there when she was at work, and it was parked there temporarily as I was there just for lunch and was planning on leaving in about 5 minutes.

Also, I have to admit I was hoping for some romance at first, which isn't an uncommon hope for men seeking roommates although most men will drop that notion after the roommate doesn't reciprocate.

I'd be reluctant to live in a rental which was advertised on Craigslist. That said, my daughter and her female roomie had a male who also shared their house. He was some sort of security cop, and they liked having him there for protection.

I would not do it , who knows what he has plan cheep rent that might cost you your life .

No girls should not have random male roommates they found on the internet on any site. Its difficult enough for people of the opposite sex to live together when they have known each other for year and years leastways if its someone you just recently met online of all places
