I would say No to it -reason being who can you trust now a days ?
even if you got a person roughly same age -they could be out to con you ..if you are feeling lonely -maybe a pet
or tiny dog for company '' be careful 'there is nothing wrong in having your own space ' join a group if your can
get out and about , but I would re-think on your thoughts .. I like my privacy in my own home !!!!!
I understand your point, but would offer the observation that we "trust" all the time, without realizing it.
You get on the road, and trust complete strangers to stop at the traffic light instead of ramming into you.
You buy food, you trust the people who packaged it to have handled it safely.
You get a prescription, and you trust everyone in the supply chain to have produced it correctly, the clerk to fill it with the right drug.
You turn the light switch, you trust the people at the power plant to be doing their job.
You turn to the news, you trust that it is mostly accurate.
Of course toffee, you're going to say that you mean "don't bring a stranger into your home".
The irony is, the people we think we know best carry the greatest potential for harm.
For example......an employer rejects an applicant that happens to have a criminal record.
What the employer doesn't realize is that statistically speaking, among their current long-term employees are going
to be criminals who simply haven't been caught yet.
Embezzlers, spouse beaters, rapists.....that loyal warehouse guy with a side job on the weekends breaking into homes to steal stuff.
Can be enlightening to do an online background check on anyone.
