How To Determine Whether You Will Get Along With A Prospective Roommate

How can I determine whether I will get along with a prospective roommate?

What is the best way to know that you're going to get along? You never do. You never know that. There are no guarantees - absolutely no guarantees. You think you might get along, you think you're compatible, but maybe they have some little idiosyncracy that is just driving you crazy. You can sit down and discuss it, and if it can't be fixed, then you just part your way, in a friendly manner. Never burn your bridges - I don't believe in burning bridges. You should do it the friendly way. We just can't stand you always leaving hair in the sink, but perhaps if everything else works out really good with this person, you can override this little idiosyncracy. That is possible. However, there are no guarantees - absolutely no guarantees. When you get married, there's no guarantees that you're going to stay married, and it's the same with roommates. It's a relationship.
