Phillip, the state trooper in 3C who grew up on a dairy farm in Vermont, is the steady one. Dylan, the roofer next door in Philadelphia, is the funny one. Silas, the band director upstairs, is the shy one. Each starts friendly and lets the relationship levels do the rest.

It is one of the easiest places to start. The early conversations feel natural because you are just talking, and he remembers the details. Teo Marrero is a good first pick: his meetups are favors between roommates that slowly turn into something more.
