Is this a good or bad idea?

Some context; I am currently out of a 2-yr ltr that led me to discover TRP and start taking it in properly. This friend, lets call him Mike, is actually one of the catalysts to get me on the path. Were often discussing TRP over the phone recently, and he's made sure i don't keep in contact with the ex and start working on myself. So he's definitely a positive influence.

In a few months I got a place I will be moving to that has 2 bedrooms in a nice location, close to my new job. He's voiced considering him as a roomate to split half the rent with me (this would help me for sure, but I could still afford on my own). Would also help him since he is saving. I could use the extra funds towards myself or save.

The only reason I ask this is he's definitely a few points higher than me on SMV, really good looking dude who has his shit together in terms of his career path and social life, and regularly spinning plates. I'm on the other end just starting this journey to self-improvement and recently starting to feel better getting over my oneitis whore ex-gf. I got no plates but made no effort recently due to this.

One advantage would be to see him up close in action. Also getting involved with his social circle to expand myself too.

Is there any disadvantage to this? Is there any writing on this type of scenario too?
