I prefer to live alone in a small house for I need space to do whatever things I want to do.

Do you prefer to share a house or live alone?
When I was single, I preferred to share an apartment. It was not only cheaper, but also safer. Now I have my own family, and it's obvious that I prefer to live only with my family.

I prefer to live alone but if the person is my best friend, then I can live with her because I usually feel lonely.

I prefer to live alone or with my friends, colleagues, or classmates , but living with stranger is a little bit hard to me, but I haven't any problem to try that in one day. So yeah living with absolutely strangers is not my cup of tea.

I prefer to live alone. However, I don't mind sharing a house if I can find a quiet and tidy housemate.

I prefer to live alone, but better to share a house with my girlfriend.
