5 reasons why Roommates are most likely to become Friends forever

  •  Time is the key – The phase in your life when you share your living space with a roommate is usually the most challenging time of your life. Either you are in college trying to make a sterling entry in the world or have just entered and trying to grab a place under the sun. You never forget people who help you grow.

  • No one can fake at home – The world is becoming increasingly sophisticated. All day out in the crowd you try to present a rosy picture of yours but your house is your fort. You are the king/queen. Your roommate gets to know you in and out, gets to know the real you and starts liking you for who you are.

  • Partner in crime – Let’s accept it, if only in our hearts, that this is the age when you want to try all the random and crazy things of the world and a partner boosts up your confidence. All your dirty secrets are safe with that partner.

  • Relationship rescuer – Its not just your work and studies but also your personal life on a roller coaster ride in this phase of life. You fall in love and fall out of it. You face heartbreaks and by any chance if you are a rebel then people are not very supportive back at home. Your love interest might not understand your emotions, your parents might not understand your desire to be different but your roommates always do. They support you, encourage you and are even ready to face the world for you.

  • Prepare for marriage – The equation of life changes after marriage. You share your personal space with a second person. The biggest thing that roommates teach you is how to get comfortable in sharing that space, having patience with this intrusion and loving it with each passing day.

But all this holds true only in case of compatible roommates. If you get it right once then this  bond initiated at the prime of your life holds promises to become a bond for the rest of the life.

PS – We have recently launched our website https://www.grabhouse.com (It’s broker/brokerage free website to find compatible roommates). 

Today, we are running a contest in association with Engrave.in for all you guys to call your ex-roommates and share how you felt with the world using #RoommatesReunion on twitter or facebook. Kindly spread the word.

The most heart warming experiences will get heartfelt gifts from www.grabhouse.com in association with www.engrave.in.

Happy Friendship Day!! Cheers!!
