Conversation Guide

A starter set of questions to use during chats and video calls with potential matches.

At SpacesShared we know that you are adults, you have conversations all the time. Please feel free to use this conversation guide as much or as little as you find helpful. We have created the questions based on observing many homesharing matches as they get to know each other and go on to live together.

The Discussion Questions

  • Introduce and share more information about yourself.
  • Is this your first time participating in a homesharing program?
  • Why did you decide to participate in a homesharing program?
  • What are some positive experiences you've had living with other people?
  • If I asked someone that you have lived with before that the most annoying thing that you do is, what do you think they would say?
  • If I asked someone that you have lived with before what the best thing about you is, what do you think they would say?
  • Who is your best friend and what is your favorite thing to do together?
  • What is your favorite thing to do on a Sunday?
  • What was it about my profile that made you decide to reach out?
  • What has been your biggest concern about homesharing since deciding to apply?
  • What are you most looking forward to about living in a homeshare match?
  • What does a typical week look like for you?
  • Let's talk about quiet hours in the house — when do you like it to be quiet?
  • If there are quiet hours, what activities are allowed and not allowed during quiet hours?
  • Let's talk about COVID — any questions or concerns about COVID safety in the home?

Once you have completed the questions you have the option to discuss next steps. If you want to continue getting to know each other, you can schedule a video call on the platform. If you are ready to proceed, you can request a homeshare agreement in the platform to formalize and lock in your homeshare!
