Can anyone recommend a SAFE way to find a good roommate who's not a weirdo or a serial killer? Asking friends if they know anyone has been a dead end.

Yet another friend/colleague got engaged this weekend. It’s become impossible to celebrate people’s relationships. I’m a POC woman and I’ve been single since coming to the US 10 yrs ago.

My non-Christian family doesn’t understand why I’ll only date Christians, or the dating scene in big cities, so they put pressure on me
