15 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Move In With A Hot Housemate

Always rent with someone who you find unattractive... or your sibling.

Whether you're at University and there wasn't any room left at the Inn (halls of residence), or you're finding your feet and moving out of your parent's house, you're experiencing the hassle of having to search for a roommate. Ideally, you're looking for someone who seems normal (ish), isn't a serial killer, and can bake. But you've just struck gold. You replied to an ad' in the paper (which is something that you never do) and you've told yourself that it'll probably be too good to be true. When you get there, it really, really is. Not only is your landlord and potential future housemate not a serial killer, but they're also the best looking person that you've ever seen. You don't even care what the house looks like and even though they've just given you a tour, you didn't really take any of it in, apart from the bedrooms. "There's room for a double bed?" you say, "I'll take it." You don't even care how much it costs and you're pretty sure that if they asked you if you were a smoker you'd either lie about it or give it up, because you're completely infatuated with this person. So you move in, things are going well and then you realise the horror of your actions. You completely fancy your housemate. So what do you do about it? Do you go for it and refuse to think that it will have consequences or do you keep quiet forever and wonder about the 'what ifs?" Are you guys going to be the exception to the rule? Like every relationship, this can go one of two ways; you'll either live happily ever after and have gorgeous babies or you'll end up having to move house. So what happens when you want to have sex with your housemate?
