<p>When a potential roommate adds you on Facebook (after being listed as a match through the school's roommate finder) what should I say? They basically added me but didn't message or anything and I want to initiate some conversation but am not sure what to say first.</p>
<p>Just be like hey, I saw we’re both going to X University next year! Are you still looking for a roommate? </p>
<p>It’s kinda awkward at first but they’re in the same position as you.</p>
<p>Hey yall!!! I go to A&M and my roommate and I are looking for 2 roommates!! Just let me know if yall know anyone or are interested!</p>
<p>Just be friendly and initiate conversation.</p>
<p>You’re going to end up knowing her anyways; why not get a head start on building a possible friendship?</p>
<p>
I’m a guy. And it’s not an assigned roommate, it’s just one of the “matches” based on our answers to the questionnaire, so we may not necessarily end up knowing each other.</p>
<p>Oops, sorry for my mistaken assumption on your gender.</p>
<p>Even if that’s the case, it’s still a great way to make one more potential friend. Get out there and meet people.</p>
<p>^Agreed with excelblue. Even if you don’t end up rooming with this guy, you may make a friend in him. It’s always nice to know someone before you get there.</p>
<p>totally fine to do it. Just like, talk to them. I know it’s strange but they’ll appreciate you taking the first move and just like… talk about life. My roommate and I met on FB in our admitted student’s group because we liked/were interested in all of the same things. We’re best friends and it’s worked out really well for us.</p>
