What a way to have a relationship, dear. Um, maybe it's better now that it's over?

A+!

Wait, maybe A-. I wanted there to be a part where neighbor sees two dudes leaving your apartment at 9 a.m. on a Sunday.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this story...had a few similar ones myself, although I wasn't smart enough to move to break up the awkwardness.

Neighbors...ug, just say no.

What happens when you don't listen to 'don't poop where you eat' and neighbour is replaced by work mate? Uh oh.

Can be awkward if you fall out and remain unfriendly!

Is this a real experience?... I have a neighbor woman that is pretty sweet on me, but seems like a bad idea.

Dating your neighbor would never be good but it would depend on if you are buying or renting and when your lease is up if renting.

Dating a neighbor?I don't think it's a great idea. I have a friend who's boyfriend is his neighbor; you know what their relationship is so complicated because both their parents are against to their relationship. But they still date secretly until such time that they were caught by my friend's father and they really broke up.

Dating a neighbor sounds easy but so hard in real scenario!
