Trying to start a relationship with a housemate

    Had a drunken 'thing' with a girl I live with on Friday, which has pretty much been on the cards for months. After talking about it, we're going to try and see if we can make a go of it dating and such like. The only problem is that we're already living together, which is usually something that only happens well after you're going out with someone for quite some time.

    Has anyone been in a similar situation and how did you make things work?

    Take ti easy and go on dates and make sure you both deliberately choose to spend time together as a couple and give each other plenty of space.

    Just because one of you is sprawled on the sofa watching the tv is not an automatic invitation to cuddle up.

    Set your boundaries and still do thing with your other friends do the whole romantic thing of flowers and try not to get on your other housemates tits.

    Alternatively, one of you could move out. I know of friends of a friend who got married a couple of years ago after meeting as housemates. One of them moved out of the house when they started going out. Tis up to you. Good luck :)
