we could do something to try to set up guardrails, but lot of creepy folks out there, and others who just don't know how to act -- i.e. possibly unintentionally creepy, might be immature, just make a mistake, etc.
guardrails might be a 'School of (Apartment) Life' HOWTO Guide, with something like:
- don't go into someone's apt, or let them into yours, unless/until you know them really well
- don't be aggressive with asking about people's personal stuff -- take things slowly
- don't shit where you eat (you are free, of course, to date / break-up with, marry / divorce the people you live with / near, but we STRONGLY recommend against it -- for various reasons -- read more...)
- etc.
