Is it a good idea or a bad idea to have a relationship with a roommate?

I'm about to have an old friend move in with me. We used to work together and he ended up moving away a couple of years ago. Now, he's moving back to town and I'll be letting him stay with me for awhile. We both recently discovered that we have been mutually attracted to each other for years. But, I'll be seeing him for the first time since he moved away. Is it a good idea for us to explore our attractions, or since we'll be living with each other - should I wait until he finds a new place to live... Any opinions??

according to my opinion, u cant wait for long time, u must explore ur attractions, the love is of two kinds one is true love or other is just only aatrations, before doing this u must see that if u had true love or just only attration, if u had true love with her and u cant live without her, u must propose har for this, a dont worry about the result, if ur love is true and keep faith on ur love and she will come to you and even she cant live without you also. dont wasting much time, go and propose her.

This is also an interesting comment. Thanks kakkar. The more I think about it, I think it would be difficult for us to live together and not explore our attractions. We'll be around each other every day. We should learn quickly whether or not we're a good match.

This is a good idea for me. Living with someone you love on the same roof will probably change your notion of personality. You will surely see his real personality and color while you are living together. This would a make or break as well since you may or may not like what he you will see. But above all, acceptance is the key to true and successful relationship.

Thanks for the great comment. I really appreciate the input. It's funny, I initially offered to let him stay in my home, because I like him and so that he would have somewhere to stay until he gets settled. But, when we were planning his arrival...we both found that we had been secretly attracted to each other for all of these years! We've never actually been on a date! We were both to shy to say anything. But, you're right, I'll probably get to know a lot more about him while he lives with me. It will be a good test for both of us.

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate your opinion. You're right - it's kind of like we're doing things backward - moving in together and then dating each other.
