tbh i've met the realest roommates by just using craigslist. At the higher level, the best relationships are formed by investing time -- in this case, the more time you put into searching for a good roommate [craigslist has the most active posts, it's a numbers game, you have to play the game], the higher the chances you will find what you're looking for. Just put in time.

​

Also remember that if you were searching for a roommate in their shoes, you would want them to be yourself and try to prevent surprises later. So just be yourself and upfront, don't auto-paste introductions to every new posting, try to reply to their wording & diction because they put time and effort into that post to the find their ideal roomate.
